Summary: Shocking and sexy, in a twisted way
Review: Calling this a sequel to Naked Killer is a bit of a stretch - some of the actors are the same, but the feel is very different. Over the top? Oh, yes, no question, with the Asian facination with rape very obvious here. Worth a look? Well, there's a high kink factor here which cannot be ignored, but it will only appeal to certain tastes, and that's all you'll get from this flick.

Summary: An Excellent Movie But With Problems
Review: I rented this DVD, and I'm glad I did. While the film itself is worth four stars just from a tight script and good acting, the problems arise with the post production for an English speaking audience.
The first problem is that fifty percent of the subtitles are nearly transparent, almost impossible to read. The second problem is that full sentences are thrown up with a flash, some literally there for one second. A third problem there is that some of the subtitles run right off the screen, so you can't tell what the completed statement is.
Even worse than these problems, though, is the terrible misspellings and gramatical errors that infest this film. At one point one of the main characters and her boyfriend are running from a mob and steal a motorcycle to escape. As they begin to accelerate one of the crowd yells out "Don't go get them!" when it should have been "Don't go!...Get them!". It's little gems like this that make you stop, rewind, and decipher.
The film itself was great, but the work it made me do subtracted two stars. Do yourself a favor and rent it first.

Summary: I should have known better .....
Review: Thank to have bought this DVD .... The only redeeming quality of this DVD is that the women n it are faboulous although we dont get to see much of them ... I mean you see more flesh on some of the late night networks ...

Appart from the dismal subtitles that will make you roll on the floor ... ie ... they continously translate good bye with a 'Buy Bye' so you can imagine what they did to the language where there were complete sentences with more than one word .... the thing that got me were the men in this movie ... the lawyer rapist is a very displeasing characted even for a bad guy .. and the head of the triad ... is a complete idiot .....

I would say the triad in Hong Kong would probably be very very upset to be portayed by this simpering idiot .... As a final note I have no idea whatsoever where they got the title from ... considering the quality of this DVD they should change the title from 'Raped by an Angel' to just plain 'Screwed' ....

Summary: shocking, but moral, educating, sexy
Review: This is one of the more nasty ones of the "Raped-by-an-Angel"-series, which draws from many traditions of Slasher-film, comedy, rape-and-revenge-films, crime-stories, but with a typical "hongkie"-like-aversion to Western morality and the mark of an alternative Eastern feminism. Think about films like Scream, David Lynch (less this one, but definitely parts II and III!) or any serious (!) slasher-movies. The brutality comes in, however people will like it, for a certain reason: a girl is home alone and does sth. wrong... this is the educating message, just as in scream. But here, it's more complicated and entertaining!

Women can be sexy and still clever and feminist in the East, it seems. However, parts II and III are less brutal (only Cat IIb!), but even more sexy, I think, and more "Lynchian" (noirish pictures). Go for these ones if you are a complete softie! Besides, the director of parts II and III is a master of erotic obsessions (Aman Chang!).
