not a bad film

Warning: Spoilers
not being very familiar with cat 3 films, I had originally expected to dislike this film as the first had been quite corny.

however, I did enjoy this film as although it is a cat 3 film it also had a decent plot line, good costumes and less out of nowhere nudity then the first.

the plot resembles some what of the Butterfly Lovers as Yau (Lee) cross dresses to go to school and makes a friend who I believe by the end she marries. Besides that there is nothing else similar between them.

Shu Qi is stunning as the temptress and Lee is cute and young looking although she is 29 by the time this film was made.

This seems to be the film to promote Shu Qi as she is given much attention to her 'hotness', having many nude scene's. Her voice was dubbed and her acting seemed fake, it may have been apart of the script or just bad acting.

Lee didn't flare much better as she was ill at ease with herself in the film and seemed a bit guarded whenever she had a nudity scene. The rest she was quite convincing as the young cute daughter.

all in all, not the best you can get but a definite try for anyone into the genre.
