Beauty Investigator Reviews
You must buy this video. Moon Lee is incredible.
Two policewomen go undercover as club hostesses to catch a serial rapist, but soon find there's more to this case than they've bargained for. Fast-paced, funny, with incredible fight scenes between Moon Lee and Yukari Oshima make this actioner a must see. Once you see Moon Lee you'll be hooked. Not only beautiful but she can also kick butt!
A side note for those who've never heard of Moon Lee or seen any of her movies, Beauty Investigator is a great place to start. It has everything and once you see this hopefully you'll become a fan and want to see more of her work.
Mediocre Ganster Action, Low Quality Viedo
Beauty Investigator is a movie about two female police detectives who go under cover to find rapist/murderer. They soon get caught up in the main plot of this movie which involves Hong Kong gangsters and Japanese Yakuza. The ganster plot is fairly typical and not terribly interesting. In fact, there is not much about this movie that is all that interesting. The female stars are all attractive, and there are a couple good actin scenes (including some unnecessary, but appreciated explosions).
This whole movie smacked of cheap production. The plastic DVD case is warped (it won't lay flat or close properly), and the plot summary on the back is wrong.
The video quality is poor. It is widescreen, but not animorphic. It looks like a copy of a cheap VHS tape. The picture is very muddy, and at times the color seems to go out of the picture (yes, it is on the DVD, not a problem with cables). Other times the colors bleed all over the place -- in the final fight, one of the female villians is wearing a red shirt that seems to glow. Did they do the transfer by pointing a camcorder at a TV screen?
There is another problem with the video, or more specifically with the fact that half of the movie seems to have been shot in the dark. There are a lot of scenes where you can't see much of anything other than a few unidentifiable blobs moving around. Maybe!
On the plus side, the dubbing was pretty well done.
You can definately better elsewhere. If you want to see attractive female crime action, try Heroic Trio. If you want to see awesome Hong Kong gangster action, look for Hard Boiled. I cannot recommend this movie.
