      Audience Member starts off a playful film with young simon yam and the very stunning chingmy yau. and then it turns into american psycho territory. supposedly the sequel to naked killer. don't ask me why, the only thing on my hotel tv cable lol. x; Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The street justice eventually visited upon the film's central antagonist (Mark Cheng, dashing lawyer by day; serial rapist by night) is likely the only merit any viewer will find in this ignoble crime film and that may be pushing it. Though marketed to English speaking audiences as a sequel to "Naked Killer" (1992) the two films, despite being written and produced by Wong Jing and starring Chingmy Yau and Simon Yam, are unrelated but nevertheless of the same ilk. Hong Kong censors rejected the film's first two proposed titles: "Legal Rape" and "Super Rape." Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member You can probably judge the quality of this film from just reading the title, but in truth it didn't quite pan out to be the total monstrosity that I was expecting - not far off though. The storyline is reasonably credible - a cunning lawyer plotting his rape at the right moment so as to avoid any possibility of being found guilty. By targeting young naive girls and using his cunning methodology of planting evidence against them in advance of his crime, their rape claims never appear to stand up in court. He hasn't before however encountered the equally devious mind of our heroine, who through the use of her admirer and friends, seek to outwit our villain with their own mind games and booby traps! Unfortunately, the film is executed with English subtitles and a horrible pitch of Cantonese voice overs throughout, which really start to grate after the first 5 minutes! The speed of the film is very fast, making it tricky to keep up with both the action and the translations, and the dialogue is also riddled with a ridiculous amount of unnecessary sexual references, which are only occasionally comical - no doubt looking to appeal to the adolescents out there (who will no doubt also enjoy the token full frontal female shot to keep them amused too). Unsurprisingly, I've never heard of this film before but it strikes me as the sort of film which would just about qualify for the channel 5 equivalent within Chinese television channels! I'm amazed they deemed this worthy of the several sequels which have since come out, but I guess sex sells as they often say...............probably why so many poor filmmaker's are also willing to chance their luck in the industry if this is anything to go by! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Crazy story about a devious rapist/murderer/lawyer. Dated, but quite good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member With a title like that, I was expecting a lot more. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Wrongly promoted as 'Naked Killer 2', 'Raped by an Angel' is actually the better movie. With some of the same actors, the story is more engaging but beware the UK version (Naked Killer 2) is so heavily cut, it's best avoided all together. The original is fairly good in parts and has a more serious and sometimes disturbing tone, so track the the proper version.
