Synopsis :
A raised middle finger to the Mainland
Chinese market, HARDCORE COMEDY is an omnibus
film of movies inspired by the success of Pang
Ho-cheung’s Vulgaria (NYAFF 2012’s opening
night film) that is a giant rolled cinematic
joint of censor-scaring drug use, sex,
violence, stupid jokes, profanity, nudity,
hookers, morons, geeks, and sashimi chefs all
rolled and lit by a trio of directors making
their debuts.
Shocking Wet Dreams – directed by Henri Wong
(the CGI supervisor on Wilson Yip’s Ip Man
movies) and produced by Derek Kwok (Gallants,
Journey to the West) this is a super-stylized
short about a geek who winds up renting a room
in a rundown, one-woman brothel because he
can’t afford housing at university. As a way to
repay his debt, he designs a computer program
that manages her business more efficiently, but
it may not matter because the cops are closing
in. Otaku madness, it’s like a dirty superhero
movie crammed with colorful special effects.
Run on Drugs – directed by one of Hong
Kong’s most successful music video directors,
Chong Siu-wing, this segment celebrates Dada
Chan, the star of Vulgaria as an ecstasy-
gulping party girl. It’s all about a guy who
runs up debt and the boutique that he and his
girlfriend opened. When it goes out of business
he takes a job delivering drugs all over Hong
Kong for a dealer, and over the course of one
long night he and Dada take mushrooms and run
from the cops.
Can’t Stop the Killing – this segment is all
about a sashimi chef who is good with the
women, but not so much with the horses. After
running up an enormous gambling debt he’s given
a choice by his bookie: pay the debt or kill
someone. Without enough cash, the chef takes on
the job of triad hitman but before he knocks
off his target he decides to make peace with
all the people from his past, including his
father and the girl in high school he was
infatuated with.
Three flavors of multi-colored mayhem, this
is the summer high school comedy full of sex,
drugs, and ridiculosity. |
