I think it is better to see this as the first in a series (of five?) rather than a sequel to Naked Killer. Whilst having been made with much the same squad this a very different film and has led many to see it who wouldn't otherwise, hence the surprisingly low average core. This truly is a rape comedy and therein lies another problem, understandably for some viewers. Oh and the 'angel' of the title refers, I believe, to the mask worn at the start. Anyway despite or because of all that I love it and if you like sleazy cat3 films, you will too. Jaw dropping stuff all the way with lovely girls, fast action and sex, nudity and of course rape barely without pause. Even the brief police investigations and the court scenes are amusing. Not for everybody but what is?

Raped by an Angel (1993) was a quasi sequel to the surprise adult hit NAKED KILLER. Most of the cast was reunited with a script penned by executive Wong Jing. Simon Yam and the super hot Chingmy Yau return in their starring roles. A sleazy lawyer who likes young women rapes an actress. Her friend, co-worker and roommate (Chingmy Yau) vows revenge. So with the help of her boyfriend (Simon Yam) the two plan an elaborate scheme to get back at the lawyer who was let go on a legal technicality. Chingmy plays a mind game with the lawyer that drives him into a sex craved lunatic. One of Chingmy's friend's learns that she has the A.I.D.S. virus and she uses her in their shady plot. The lawyer can't take it any more and demands to see Chingmy. He tries to rape her. But he finally catches her and has some vicious sex with her. But when he turns her around, it's Chingmy's friend with A.I.D.S. The film ends with the police arresting him and the friends finally getting their vengeance. Smiles all around.Highly recommended for shear insanity and un-P.C. humor.

"Raped by an Angel", also known as "Naked Killer 2" is a formulaic Hong Kong sex-and-violence movie. It is not as good as many others. The acting is wooden, the violence muted and unrealistic, the consensual sex scenes dull and devoid of even the slightest hint of passion, and you can almost see the actors yawning during the rape scenes. This is supposed to be a sex-violence-revenge thriller, but the plot is thin and devoid of suspense. The only interesting part was a courtroom scene in which the rapist is one of the lawyers. The movie has a category III rating (equivalent to our NC17) but is pretty tame by Cat-III standards. The several rape scenes dubbed "explicit" and "prolonged" in some other reviews are neither. They consist mostly of seeing the naked backside of the rapist standing up (briefly), seeing him leer as he unwraps a condom, and then seeing what is supposed to be a look of pain on a closeup of the woman's face, but actually looks more like indigestion. The rapes themselves are implicit, and hidden by potted plants, furniture, and blankets. The English subtitles are below average even for a Hong Kong quickie, and provide most of the comic relief.

Advertised in some places as a sequel to NAKED KILLER, this is a much different film in style and tone but using some of the same principal cast members. NAKED KILLER had a joyful exuberance in its blackly comic tale of rival lesbian hitwomen. RAPED BY AN ANGEL is a much more grim tale of male/female relations both tender and brutal. In typical Hong Kong film fashion, the cute scenes of Yau and Yam dating are intercut with the brutality of prolonged rape in a parallel story. Like I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, the multitude of violent rape scenes make this a repellent film viewing experience while also being fascinating in its shameless exploitation of rape as entertainment, despite the use of comic relief to make this more acceptable to a wider audience. While never eroticized, what this ultimately does is trivializes the act. The film is undeniably effective but just don't expect another NAKED KILLER even though Chingmy Yau gets to play another tough chick character. Well cast and slickly-lensed, this is not a film to watch on a first date.
