Reviewed by: Tonic Date: 03/15/2007 Some odd theories on sex during late pregnancy, but otherwise very entertaining. This was the first film I had seen where Shing Fui-On starred and I've found him to be hillarious ever since I saw 'The Magnificent Scoundrels'. Rarely drags, weird - very much recommended.

Reviewed by: Chungking_Cash Date: 01/25/2003 The minor, but always memorable Shing Fui-on takes the lead in this ghost comedy about a cop who trails a group of bank robbers to a junk yard and subsequently has a load of scrap iron dropped on him. Our hero is dead but not gone. A cryptic red glow coupled with downed power lines breathe air into his lungs and so Shing returns home to his pregnant wife as if nothing happened. Given that he is a walking corpse Shing's forced to make amends in a humorous bit, where he fills a gaping wound in his chest with cookie batter and covers it with one of his wife's maxi pads. In another, he learns that eating now comes with immediate consequences. Because his vital signs are always one step away from flat lining Shing regularly electrocutes himself to recharge his batteries though he continues to weaken, but must keep from crossing over until his first born is brought into the world. While "The Blue Jean Monster" has its moments -- the title alone provokes a grin -- most of the film is poorly acted by a tiresome supporting cast whose bawdy antics are cheap and occasionally just downright gross.

Reviewed by: ksbutterbox Date: 02/03/2002 Summary: I agree w/ STSH! This starts off as a comedy mixed with a "stick em up " bank robbery violent sequence. Then it gets really weird(as if Hong Kong movies never get that way!)Our poor slob gets reignited thru electricty and becomes the"HULK" so to speak!This is quite a good action movie so give it a view..no subs (my version)but still top notch!! Very Cool last reel! (3.5/5.)

Reviewed by: STSH Date: 01/15/2000 Summary: Odd mixture, entertaining Comedy/horror/action drama with overtones of Frankenstein. Warning : the above review describes Amy Yip as the leading lady. This is NOT TRUE. La Amy appears in one scene. The leading lady is Pauline Wong, who is hilariously severe as the very pregnant and suspicious wife. The final scene is very long but, alternating between edge-of-the-seat suspense and gallows humour, is simply excellent. Overall - a very odd mixture of styles but, if you can survive the stomach-churning grossness, pretty entertaining. Reviewer Score: 7

Reviewed by: hkcinema Date: 12/21/1999 Shing plays a cop who turns into a monster after being gunned down andelectrocuted in a Triad shootout. It's his good luck to get the voluptuous AMY YIP as his leading lady. [Reviewed by Tai Seng Catalog]
