The Vampire Effect 2003  


Also known as "The Twins Effect" (mainly due to the fact that Gillian Chung &
Charlene Choi comprise an extremely popular Asian musical group known as The
Twins.)

STARRING; Jackie Chan Charlene Choi Gillian Chung Directed by Dante Lam

GENERAL DESCRIPTION; an evil duke tries to collect the blood of a royal family
of European vampires, as this will make him all powerful. he and his
bloodsucking horde of the undead are opposed by a determined band of skilled
vampire killers.

SCISSORS SCENES; 1) a vampire killer finds himself alone in a railroad car
with about 20 vampires. as he leaps out of the window onto the platform his
beautiful assistant arrives at a window high above and sees his plight. she
shoots a rope down into the railroad car which wraps around the neck of a
vampire. she then loops the rope around a hook and leaps down toward the car.
the weight of her falling body pulls the entangled vampire out the window of
the car and up toward her. they pass in midair and she swings into the window
of the car. the vampires are now surrounding her partner but a second later
she bursts out of the window and clamps a flying headscissors on the vampire
nearest her, flipping him to the ground. leaping gracefully to her feet she
dispatches him with a sword thrust to the chest. 2) the male vampire hunter,
aided now by another beautiful, but this time inexperienced partner, has a
long battle with a tough vampire. when he finally gets into position to strike
the death blow and raises his sword above his head she races forward.
screaming, "i'll do it!" she leaps at him and unintentionally traps him in a
front headscissors, his face pressed into her crotch area. her momentum forces
him backwards and he staggers about with her legs around his neck and unable
to see. they crash into a wall and crumple to the ground as the vampire
escapes. 3) after an awesome scene where the girls slice and dice their way
through 20- 30 vampires, one of the girls goes head to head with the duke.
early in the long battle she leaps at him and applies what could probably best
be called a leg half nelson. she winds up on his shoulders facing away with
one leg down his back and hooking one of his arms while her other leg is under
his neck.she flexes that leg, choking him between her thigh and calf. they
both spin wildly around like a dervish as he tries to throw her off. when they
stop she looks down and flexes her leg, once again squeezing his neck hard
between her thigh and calf. it's clear she is winning now as he can barely
breathe. they start spinning again, and this time she releases him, sending
him flying.

POSITIVES: the scissors get better as the movie goes on. 2 was better than 1,
and 3 was better than 2. the acting, the special effects, and especially the
martial arts in this movie were top notch. even the ground wrestling that
followed scissors #3 was excellent, as they both punished each other with
choke holds, and kept reversing positions, each one trying to maintain their
advantage. it was all extremely well directed and executed.

NEGATIVES: there were a few points in the story where things became a bit
silly. with Jackie Chan involved, you know you will get a certain dose of
comedy, funny or not, but no real harm was done here.

OVERALL RATING: ***
