Wizard-8 "Naked Killer" is one of my favorite guilty pleasures to come out of the Hong Kong film industry, so when I came across "Body Weapon" - which was made by the same people - I of course thought I would be getting more of the same. Unfortunately, this effort is a real disappointment. It somehow manages to be even cheaper than "Naked Weapon", with few "wide" shots and endless shots with the characters' faces jammed close to the camera. Much worse, however, is that the movie isn't that much fun. While "Naked Killer" was crazy, hilarious, and somewhat upbeat, this movie is slow (especially the first 30 minutes), mostly sombre, and kind of downbeat. There's not much entertainment in seeing a woman brutalized sexually and getting an STD in the process. The only real entertainment comes from a few sequences involving martial arts duels, though they are just okay and not exceptional. Stick with "Naked Killer" instead.

korming What a total waste of Vincent Zhao! He should NOT have done this movie! I daresay this one killed his movie career, relegating him to TV for a decade! Yes, that is how bad this movie is. The people behind this movie should be glad that Vincent Zhao got to do True Legend after a ten year break from the big screen. If he didn't, that would have seriously damaged their karma.This thing called Body Weapon is everything a movie should not be. It's a sleazy, cheap, totally offensive cringer of a career killer.If you enjoy seeing poor Vincent Zhao embarrassing himself, if you want to see HK cinema fail, if you hate decent films, then by all means watch this movie! If not, then do yourself and Vincent Zhao the favour of NOT watching this 'thing'!

gridoon Misleadingly (but cannily) titled and packaged as an action thriller with a tough female lead (she only gets to use her body as a "weapon" twice in the entire film, and even then not in the way you probably imagine), "Body Weapon" is a total disappointment. I wonder if the filmmakers knew what they were going for, because they try lots of different things, none of them done well; the movie is by turns hokey (those sound effects!), sleazy, plodding and sentimental, never finding its tone. The heroine says at one point that she wants to transform herself into "a woman that any man would die for"; she never gets there. (**)

splatterhead I like HK action movies. jaw dropping choreographed fight scenes, larger then life explosions, nail bitting chase sequences and over the top stunt work. If you like HK action movies just like me. THEN DON'T WATCH THIS FILM!! It featured none of the above. It's just a grotesque, boring, voyeuristic, badly acted film with some fight scenes. LOW BUDGET is the key word.I suggest you watch a real HK film, instead of a poor wannebe.
