movie mixed scissors scenes by dmg Inspectors Wear Skirts 4 1992 STARRING: Cynthia Khan Moon Lee Sandra Ng Kwan Yue Billy Lau ACCESS: video only/it is not easy to come by. my copy is in Cantonese with English subtitles. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: this is one of the most mixed up movies i've ever seen. they keep switching from serious gangster kung fu fighting melodrama to ridiculous slapstick. the fighting is top notch but the slapstick is difficult to watch. besides the 3 scissors scenes which i will chronicle below there is a recurring theme of men being kicked in the groin. one lecherous guy gets it at least four times, and on one occasion three girls do it to him simultaneously. SCISSORS SCENE: #1)Cynthia Khan, wearing a tight black swat team outfit, fights 3 guys in a warehouse as her "female commando" trainees watch. at one point in the violent, well fought battle she is flipped and crashes through a crate as she lands. she grabs another crate and blocks an attempted stomp by the man who is standing over her. from a prone position she raises her legs straight up and captures him in a headscissors. she grips his head between her calves and brings her legs back down, sending him flying through the air. eventually the three men run away from her and escape. #2) the same gang has taken over a grammar school and are holding the children as hostages. three of them come down a stairway. the first one is a large, heavyset man who is spanking a small boy he is holding under his arm. two female commandos approach them. the first one struggles with the big man, trying to rescue the boy. the second one is carrying a large duffel bag filled with weapons. she whips out a sword and slices and dices the other two guys in no time flat. she drops the sword and opts to use nunchaku sticks to help her partner who is not doing well against her much larger opponent. she skillfully and painfully batters the man who hits the ground crying in pain. he tries to pick up his gun but she slides in front of him and kicks it away. she then clamps his head between her calves in a reverse headscissors and flips him into a nearby wall. when he cries out in pain she stuffs a ball deep into his mouth and laughs at him, saying, "shout! you can't, can you?" he pulls out a machete but she counters with a huge scimitar like weapon and dispatches him with a few more well placed blows. #3)Cynthia, Moon, and the "weapons" girl fight the big boss in an incredibly brutal unarmed fight which starts in a classroom and ends up with them laying waste to a nearby carnival. along the way the weapons girl gets killed and the other three all take quite a pounding. the scene climaxes when Moon lands a front kick driving the man back toward the waiting Cynthia. she leaps up and grabs an overhead iron pole. she twist her lower body, crossing her left leg over her right and then trapping his neck between her calves. using a great deal of torque she twists back to her left, sending him crashing through a nearby carnival stand. the girls drag him from the debris but it's obvious that he has had it. they make him give up some evidence and then he dies. POSITIVES: these are all what i've come to call "combat" style scissors. the setups and camera work are good in all three scenes, and the girls are both beautiful and energetic. NEGATIVES: the negative part of the "combat" style scissors is that it's usually over in a heart beat, it's not very erotic, there's no squeezing or even a period of captivity, and there's usually too much clothing. all true here, but it's hard to be real negative about a movie with 3 scissors! OVERALL RATING: **
