The Six Devil Women

Thriller about a vicious crime gang composed of ten guys and six women (The Devil Women, obviously) who hail from the Mainland. What happens is the women seduce men and the guys kill them and take their personal belongings. Eventually, the cops catch the evildoers, but during the trial we learn of the exact goings on in the gang, which are portrayed in sickeningly graphic fashion Shenzen is the California of China, a place where you go to get rich quickly. Located just over the border from Hong Kong, it was designated as a special economic zone free from the normal Chinese bureaucratic rules and it was designed to stimulate economic growth. Poor people flocked here from the countryside in the hope of making their fortunes and a gang of ten men and six women have hit upon a money making scheme by stealing cars. The women would stand by the road side and hitch a ride and then lead them to their fellow gang members who would take the cars and sell them in Shenzen to the newly rich entrepreneurs. Like those crime movies set in the 1930s (a la Bonnie and Clyde) the only way out of a life of grinding poverty and boredom for a young pretty girl was crime or marriage to a rich man. Diana Pang (nicknamed by the Hong Kong press as Mystical Breasts) gives a surprisingly effective dramatic performance as Man Nap caught in this web of greed. The movie transcends its cat III status and delivers a entertaining crime drama. SPOILER I found the scene of capital punishment at the end of the movie to be quite disturbing as executions in China have none of that sanitised quality found in most Western movies which remove them from reality. They are simply taken out into a field and shot by firing squad.
