He Lives By Night Review

Review of He Lives By Night (1982) by screenqueeen: 👎 2/5

98/100

this has like two and a half good sequences but the rest is just the same tired sexually overcharged comedic bits from countless other Hong Kong procedurals and potboilers. there is a moment where Cissy stops at the radio station security desk to borrow a weapon for going out that i liked. surprisingly devoid of homophobia, crossdresser ideology or transphobia but that doesn't make it progressive either.
