Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

BA_Harrison With a title like Operation Pink Squad 2, I was fully expecting a Hong Kong 'girls and guns' flick, with a bevy of kung fu cuties kicking ass and engaging in high-octane shootouts. What I actually got was a broad farce/madcap supernatural comedy in which the 'pink squad'—four pretty female police officers—go undercover to catch a criminal but wind up coming face-to-face with malevolent ghosts. Only with the help of a Taoist priest can they hope to survive the night.How much you enjoy the film will depend on just how funny you find Asian comedy. I have always struggled with the Chinese sense of humour, meaning that much of this very silly film left me distinctly unimpressed. The opening marital nonsense, the cross-dressing police officer, and the endless chase scenes featuring a ghostly flying head all failed to make me laugh.Towards the end of the film, director Jeffrey Lau cranks up the craziness with an out of left field scene involving remote control helicopters, a pissing contest to see who will be castrated, self-detonation by the ghost head, and the arrival of a group of supernatural 'protectors', two of whom are women with beards. All of this is mildly amusing, but not enough to prevent the film as a whole from being rather tiresome.

Leofwine_draca OPERATION PINK SQUAD II is a sequel to a film I haven't seen although there's nothing to lose by watching it first. The two films feature as their central cast members four fighting policewomen. The first film is by all accounts a straight action story which sees the gang fighting sexism in their own department while battling criminals while this sequel goes for something very different in a knockabout supernatural comedy. It's a very low budget film but makes up for that with plenty of energetic situations.The action is set in and around a haunted apartment building. The girls go undercover and pretend to be Japanese in order to pull off a sting against a drug lord. They're accompanied by their superior, played by popular Hong Kong character actor Woo Fung, and he occasionally puts on a dress and joins up with them. The bad guy is played by veteran villain Shing Fui-On who is fantastically imposing as always. The quartet of actresses don't have much to do except react to ongoing events and there's a dearth of martial arts action by the standards of the genre, but on the other hand no one really gives a poor performance.The main thrust of the tale is about the various ghosts that inhabit the building. Most are exorcised by Taoist priest Yuen Cheung-Yan (another cinematic veteran) in some early sequences but one particularly vengeful female ghost is left alive and becomes the narrative's primary antagonist. What follows is a high-energy comedy with a great amount of slapstick humour and pratfalls following our cast members around. The ghostly special effects come thick and fast and many of them are low budget and cheesy but shots of the characters being pursued by a flying ghostly head bring back memories of spine-shuddering Indonesian cinema such as MYSTICS IN BALI. The film has some of the high energy look of EVIL DEAD II about it, a film which clearly served as an inspiration here. The best action is saved for the large-scale climax which sees our characters attacked by a whole army of the dead and coming up with an unusual solution to tackle them.

OllieSuave-007 This is a HK ghost comedy where a troop of bumbling police rookies try to catch a ghost at a Hong Kong high-rise.While a pretty intriguing-sounding plot, much of the movie is drenched in screwball comedy and attempted jokes that overshadows the ghost elements in the story somewhat. However, you still get some neat ghost-busting action with a fast-paced plot. Yet, there is little to no suspense.Some might enjoy the screwy comic relief and some might actually get a scare or two out of what limited ghost action there is. Grade C

lost-in-limbo Four female cops go undercover as club hostesses for a sting to stop a counterfeiting operation, but their choice of a meeting spot happens to be a haunted apartment building. The landlady had a Buddhist priest to rid the place of ghosts and to seal up the door in her basement where the spirits come from, but unknowingly one manages escape from him and this causes trouble for those who happen to be the building. What lunacy! Every single aspect of this Honk Kong film is simply bonkers, though very amusing in its originality. "Operation Pink Squad 2" is a sequel to the original film (which I haven't seen) of the same name. It's a strange, ultra-loony and lowbrow supernatural horror comedy of the incredibly extreme and kinetic. Its loud and no-barred humour mainly drowns out the horror side of things. The comic jokes are crass, absurd and more often sexually orientated. Slapstick routines feature largely. Surprisingly even though it's quite goofy and screwball with its sense of humour, nonetheless its pretty effective because the script is immensely funny and the gags are very well timed. The off-the-rocker story sets up many impulsive shifts that feed off the central premise and director Jeff Lau's wacky, hundred miles per hour style works admirably with the light-headed formula. There are few flashy and neatly executed choreographed scenes of surreal action, but it's the farcical interplay that wins out. Special effects and make-up come off potently cheap and tatty, but manage to hold tight because of their limitations, so they're well used and kept on a leash. Well, except for one special surprise involving a head. Actually make that two. The bouncy camera-work leaves a fast, atmospheric imprint and there was some prominent filtered lighting to convey a sullen, dreary ambiance to the building. The jolts are pretty frank and underused, but the suspense doesn't seem to register and Lau might want it that way. Helping out is that the performances are done with a mock serious approach. Sandra Ng, Ann Bridgewater, Suki Kwan and Cheung Man perfectly make up the four undercover cops. Yuen Cheung-yan is excellent as the monk. Billy Lau, Woo Fung and Fui-On Shing get the laughs from their broad, madcap characters. A neatly-handled and suitably outrageous comical farce.
