I thought you'd be amused. It might be too hardcore mo lei tau for anyone not initiated. As you say, it's hard to follow because of the irrevernet pacing.
As for the gneder confusing, I had a hard time trying to figure out if Carina was supposed to be a woman crossdressing or a man played by a woman. Turns out it was the latter, as we learn in the very end. It's another one where Leslie is the heartthrob, and that always strikes me as fascinating because he was one of the early HK stars that came out as bi (after having relationships with many of the hottest HK actresses in the biz then) and ultimately killed himself. I remember discussing it with some friends at Shaolin because his suicide was around when I made my 2nd to last trip.
It was good to see Bridgette and Maggie again - I was such a fan of them (Joey's eyebrows always distracted me). The two Tony Leungs (who I still confuse) and Jackie Cheung were on point with their comic timing, as always.
