With the success of Pang Ho Cheung’s foul mouthed and hilarious “Vulgaria” having proved that rude and crude are still popular at the Hong Kong box office, it’s only natural that other film makers would follow suit. And so, up step directors Andy Lo, Henri Wong and Chong Siu Wing with the category III rated “Hardcore Comedy”, which as its title suggests, aims for raucous pop culture laughs and unfettered bawdiness. Split into three linked stories and revolving around sex, drugs, superheroes and more, the film has a cast packed with attractive faces, including Dada Chan (“Vulgaria”), Michelle Wai (“Girl$”), Christine Kuo (“Lan Kwai Fong 2”), Kelvin Kwan (“Tales from the Dark 2”), Oscar Leung (“Young and Dangerous Reloaded”) and William Chan (“Triad”). The film opens with Henri Wong’s “Shocking Wet Dreams”, in which a couple of college losers (Kelvin Kwan and Terence Siufay) are forced by a...

Well this looks absolutely insane. Three different stories directed by emerging directors Andy Lo, Henri Wong and Chong Siu Wing, starring hot young stars Dada Chan, Michelle Wai, Christine Kuo, Kelvin Kwan, Oscar Leung and William Chan. No stone is left unturned in Hardcore Comedy, serving up a heady mix of sex, gambling, drugs and Hong Kong culture. Undoubtedly a large slice of hit and miss, but the trailer is exhausting (in a good way) and an English subtitled DVD is available from October 18th 2013, and you can pre-order your copy here. It'll probably be a good idea to keep the aspirin on standby if the trailer is anything to go by. You have been warned... Synopsis: In "Erotic Dream," two college geeks (Kelvin Kwan, Terence Siufay) move into an old building packed with brothels. Over time, they turn into superheroes trying to save these women from selling their bodies.
