Legendary Couple (1995)
Reviewed by: hkcinema on 1999-12-08
In this HK permutation of "Natural Born Killers," Chingmy Yau andSimon Yam play a fun loving pair of Robin Hoods who think nothing of holding up a daycare center in order to learn diaper technique or pumping a bullet into someone's leg to extract a confession. In spite of a few fresh laughs and a panoramic display of Suk-Ching leg, ludicrous mood swings and the unsucessful juxtaposition of violence and humor, sentiment and vengeance keep breaking any connection you might develop to the characters or story. And, another really appalling performance by a gweilo "actor" as the paramilitary cop/ heavy, an HK version of "the Man." Where do they get these guys?
