It's supposed to disgust you, that's the point. It's like icing on the cake - after all the *beep* that has been dumped on them, they then have to lose their virginity to random, unknown men aswell.

P.S. The grammer and layout of your signature is all wrong. Just thought that considering what you're quoting from the bible, you might as well do it right.

Go to the loo, 'cause all the *beep* is coming out your mouth instead of your a-hole...

you said the grammer and layout of my signature is wrong, how?

on another forum(stargate sg1) there was person there that happen to have greatly enjoyed it the way it is

1. You should leave a space between my signature and if your
2. It is not "your doing good", but "you're doing good" - apostrophe for "you are"
3. If, being the beginning of a sentence, should probably have a capital letter
4. Peter, being a name, should definitely start with a capital letter

That's all I can spot at first glance, but it's a start, right? I wasn’t dissing the quote, just commenting, is all.

i fixed what i can, but there is a 100 character limit.

My pleasure. It's a cool quote.

Wow, just wow... You might as well correct him too on how it should be "1 Peter" instead of "1st Peter"

reply

No no, you spotted it. I'll let you tell him - it's only fair.

By the way, you both spelled "grammar" wrong.

I just thought if you were correcting it, we'd do spelling as well.

Lmao, biggest correction fail ever

the reason they got raped was beacuse Madam M ( right?) said that they have to please a man no matter how vital.

reply

yes, and not to mention the fact that they were most likely virgins, being kidnapped around 12. this scene wasn't completely necessary. I could see if it was in "the book". I completely understand the idea, but they didnt NEED to put it in, but it still fit
on the plus side it wasnt too graphic or distasteful(yes i understand the whole idea is distasteful and am not condoning any of it, but it could have been a lot more graphic and ruined the movie) :)

reply

Its a common complaint I hear from people who've seen this movie and I agree with them. They didn't need to do that scene in the way it was shown. They could have faded it out sooner or whatever.

I don't think it harmed my enjoyment of the movie too much though.
Next time I watch it I'll skip the scene though.

reply

Are you a movie director ?
I mean..., this kind of comments are very strange, how can someone watch a movie and think that a job done by an artist should be the way I ( do not ) want to see ?
Skip the chapter, what about skip life ?

reply

I'm just stating my opinion man. This is what these message boards are for you know.

Did you enjoy the scene?

reply

I think it fitted the context. But I think one cannot compare a movie scene to a wonderfull sunset, I mean does someone like seeing millions of people beeing killed for beeing jew in "Schindler's List"; or a guy puting a bullet in someone's brain in "<zillions of movies>", I guess not the act, but I would never be so pretentious to say a sceene shouldn't exist so I could be happier. Anyway, just my point of view, I suppose I over-respect the artists.

reply

I see what you mean. I just felt the scene was out of context with the rest of the film really. Overall I felt the film was quite light hearted despite the strong violence, which is often surreal and escapist as often is the case in martial arts movies.

I agree with your statement about Schindlers List. Indeed no one enjoys seeing the true atrocities shown in the film, but there it is a vital part in telling a very serious story.

I don't think the rape scene in Naked Weapon was absolutely unnecessary, I just think it could have been handled better. But, as I've said already this is just my opinion.

reply

I don't mean to offend anyone here, but I think most of this moralizing is somewhat illogical. This movie is not a work of art. It exists for only one reason and that is to make money. To accomplish that goal, it uses the two most reliable money makers, sex and violence. What I don't understand is why people who are disgusted by a rape scene are watching this movie to begin with? There are lots of better movies that do not have rape scenes. If you are making a moral point, this is a very week vessel on which to place so weighty a matter. I could understand complaining about a rape scene if it existed in a movie like Lilo and Stitch, (for example). I have not seen this movie, and I may never see it, But if I don't see it, it will not be because I might be disgusted by a rape scene in a movie that is based on sex and violence. If I do see it, I won't be expecting much in the way of art or ethical insight.

reply

until i saw that disgusting scene, i didnt know it had that in there, then i changed the channel.

Sounds like you didn't know what you were getting into when you started to watch the movie. Here are some tips so as not to repeat an unpleasent experience. You probably don't know that rape is a fairly common theme in Asian movies. It is often the reason for the hero's revenge or some other motivating factor. I am not Asian so I can not explain the popularity of rape in their entertainment media, but it is much more frequent than in the West. The rape scenes are usually obviously simulated, so there may be some concept of playing with a dangerous act that accounts for its popularity. Just a guess. Of course, not all Asians love rape and so on, but it is more prevelent. When you see an Asian movie that has a woman action hero, or has title like "Naked Weapon", which speaks of sex (naked) and violence (weapon) then there is a high probability that there may be a rape scene in it. My reccomendation is that you avoid such films.

"Sounds like you didn't know what you were getting into when you started to watch the movie. Here are some tips so as not to repeat an unpleasent experience. You probably don't know that rape is a fairly common theme in Asian movies"
your right, i didnt know that was a factor in some asian movies.

"When you see an Asian movie that has a woman action hero, or has title like "Naked Weapon", ...." i thought it was something like a naked gun movie, one of those silly types, i make a point of not wanting to see nudity in movies, i think seeing filth in them ruins them

reply

But Leslie Neilsen wasn't on the cover!
Seriously though, despite he whole premise of the film being ridiculous, the rape scene was pointless and unpleasant to watch.

One of Yuen's other movies 'Women on the Run' has a similar sequence where the heroine fights in the nude before being overwhelmed.
How is it that the heroines in both these movies who before and after destroy nearly everyone placed before them become the victims as soon as the bad guys unzip their pants?. I wouldn't say that rape is common in HK movies, but I have seen a couple where it is used to establish the lack of morality in a villain.

What annoyed me was in both movies, the rapists didn't get a beating.
They definitely deserved it more than the countless guards who get killed in these movies.

reply

I wonder about whether people actually see half of a movie they're say they watched. The reason given by Madam M for the multiple rapes, was that they needed, as professional assassins, to feel that their sexuality was something that had no intrinsic moral value beyond it's application to the task at hand: killing the "target" after weakening him with sex. What's the problem people have with this? The reason was given, and it seems logical. The perpetrators were just doing a job, like the guards who were killed.

Why should every damn film have to peddle a "moral" perspective on everything??

Plus why all the sympathy for 3 murderesses?? They are cold killers. What about the people they killed? Isn't that a bit more important than their rape?

reply

Nudity is not filth. We are born naked.

reply

So... the kidnapping was ok to watch, so were the numerous killings, including the killing of a little girl in cold blood... Those things didn't make you change the channel..... but (there is always a but) the rape scene did... you're sounding just like the people that sat on their comfy chairs with pop corn watching thousands die by the bombing on Iraq, but called the FCC cuz Jannet Jackson showed her breast on tv... just my apreciation based on the comments...

It is my humble opinion that the scene was very important in the movie. They were posing as prostitutes/dancers on their missions. The scene portrayed what was the climax of the torture-like training, preparing them for what lied ahead of them.

Again, this is my humble opinion. Sorry for my bad English.

reply

i didnt recall the junk you mentioned. i dont remember watching much of it up to that point, the only thing i remember of it is that disgusting rape scene

someone for the love of god please show a little mercy and kill me

reply

Lol. This scene is disgusting? This scene is funny as hell if you ask me. The high fives are the best.


The high fives caught my attention too because it was sooooo cheesy.

reply

lol im asian... and i thyink that scene was a lil too much too

the reason they were raped was cuz so they arent virgins anymore, and thus dont have a 'clean' body no more. this way, they dont have to worry about losing their virginity while on teh job..

That love making scene on the beach was, methink, the most unnecessary scene on the whole movie, giving the situation (Kat in danger).

reply

I'm Asian, and i kinda resent fred3f's remark about rape being a common/prevalent theme in Asian movies. I don't know how many you've watched with such a theme to warrant such an observation, but maybe it's just a similarity in your pick of movies alone, in which case it would be very unfair to pin such a generalization on all Asian movies. I also disagree. Western movies have their fair share of rape in them too. Off the top of my head - Dogville, The Accused, Irreversible, Julietta etc. There's more of course, but i'm just making a point here. Let's not generalize Asian cinema with such an unflattering label. It's not nice, and more importantly, it's not true.

reply

it's the sort of thing to expect when watching action movies that have girls behind bars, being assassins and the like. this is the same with all countries... and all movies with naked in the title.

reply

[deleted]

The scene didn't make sense at all. Logically those girls should have been training on sex techniques much earlier than that seeing how it would be a vital skill for their assassin work. They get close to their target by disguising as a callgirl and have to provide real service to minimize the target's suspicion before killing him. Getting them introduced to sex on their 18th birthday after long years of intense training in all other fields(i.e. fighting, computer hacking, makeup) is kind of like putting the cart before the ox.

W: You can see the movie now on YouTube. Just go to youtube and do a search for the word "Naked Weapon".

I had seen this movie some 2 or 3 years ago, and I can still recall certain horrifying scenes that almost blew me off my chair. Honestly I'm not a fan of horror-flicks, something like Eyes without a Face (1959) could haunt me for the whole night; but Naked Weapon wasn't intended to be a "horror" film, right?

Kat was caught, raped (not shown), hung, and "puppeteered" by the gang master. While this scene could have been very meaningful in terms of the physical + pschological cage Kat has always been trapped in, it's done in bad taste and ruined a very refined Leon-the-Professional-like sentimental rescue by Charlene. It was actually the most horrifying scene in the movie that hadn't done its justice.

About the ACTUAL rape, well, I didn't find it disgusting or unnecessary. Like others have said, it only reinforced certain messages like (1) their virginity is lost (2) they belong to Madam Whatever (3) their bodies are to please men. In fact, there are points #4, #5 and #6.....

(4) Both women will hate men. Abducted or raped females have fears and hatred towards men, in this case Kat will forever be in love with her homosexuality (a dead end), and Charlene will have difficult time to find real love (until the stupid CIA steps in and has a moronic beach sex scene).

(5) It orchestrates with the end of the story where Kat is forever a sex slave for men - raped, humiliated, played for a man's pleasure. The slavery idea is excellent, while doing it nicely or not is another context.

(6) To win the audience's sympathy. It won my sympathy, I felt sorry for the 2 girls especially for Kat.....if my memory is right I think she did look at Charlene when she was being raped, and the girls held hands together (?). Great idea, again, poorly done.

The whole concept of the film could have been fabulous if fallen into the right hands (of Luc Besson, for example). The rape scene IS necessary, just look at those points I'd made. But our discussion seems to be (1) graphically necessary or (2) conceptually necessary. To raise sympathy it is indeed graphically necessary. This scene forwarded the story and reinforced the 6 points that could have been killer factors to this film. It is an ongoing debate whether heavy graphic violence is necessary in motion picture (eg. The Passion of the Christ), but in this case, the violence is indeed very mild and up to an acceptable point. You may disagree, I have no intention to defend this movie or its scenes at all.

Anyway, the "rape" scene was not even graphically intense or offensive.....anyone with a little "moral tolerance" could accept it as a work of cinema. The only offensive scene is how Kat was tied and hung like a puppet at the end. Technically, the entire film is shadowed with the director's bad taste and that remains the reason why the "rape" scene - like any other scene in this movie - remains disgraceful.

reply

ewwwwwwww. i honestly think that movie could have gone without the rape scene.

reply

I actually was so disgusted and traumatised by this gang-rape scene (it was so vivid and graphic) that I had to turn the DVD off for a few hours to recover before watching the rest of the movie again. Although I understand that the girls could not be virgins anymore for the jobs they were kidnapped and trained to do, but to introduce gang-rape as a means to the end was completely nnecessary, not to mention vileness of the most lowest kind.

As a result, I too wonder, like a previous poster has said, why the girls continued to obey Madam M after all the injustice and brutality they had been through, rather than seek vengeance together as they had the powers to kill Madam M and set themselves free...

Also, I was quite disappointed too that after all the cruelty the girls went through, they didn't get the justice they deserved, but instead Madame M was killed off by the Japanese Yakuzi guy towards the end...


Now don't get me started on that ridiculous beach sex scene....

reply

I rofl'ed.

This movie lacks continuity and suffers from horrible writing and poor editing... For Christ's sake, the rapists give each other a high-five during the act.

During all of the fight scenes, people launch about without ever actually landing. One moment they're flying across the room next they're grappling. Awful editing indeed.

Don't take things so seriously next time.

reply

i sorta agree with you, this movie was sooo bad it was good, i was yelled at by the cinema person and threatened with getting kicked out of the theater cause i we were laughing so hard we bothered the other viewers.
and thisis when we were completely and utterly sober.

ihave no idea why some of these people are talking about a scene being out of place when the whole moviewas out of place... please who would shoot
*spolier* "like itis going to matterin a film like this"
someone with an aphrodesiac, or find a piece of paper; dry i might add, in the middle of the beach to write a note.

god i loved this film.

have a good day

The rape scene wasn't supposed to be in the film and was actually added by a producer later on.

Thank you! the high fives had me balling in tears

The 'rape' scene was pretty lame compared to most movies made by America. Most Asian movies DON'T have rape scenes as they are family orientated. If you watched the rape scene in the French Film 'Irreversible', makes this film look like Sesame Street. Lol

hardcore XXX rating movies in hong kong are equivalent to an R+18 movie in America. Where's a XXX rating American movie has no equivalent in Asian because most Asians like me can't tolerate hardcore American movies. It's too violent for them.

reply

hardcore XXX rating movies in hong kong are equivalent to an R+18 movie in America.
This isn't exactly correct. There certainly are quite a few category III films that are R (which is 17, btw), but a category III HK film like, say, Sex and Zen II would be NC-17 if they got it rated.

reply

does anybody know if the scene was completely fake? or mabe even semi-real? i mean more than most likely its fake but it seemed kind of real and the cheesy guys (omg i cant believed they actually high-fived wat losers) were ripping the girls clothes off.

reply

semi real?

geez its a freakin movie.

It wasnt half as bad as it could have been as the girls were still completely clothed.

I gotta admit I laughed as well when they high fived each other.

reply

Did anyone catch the herpe bump on one of the "high fiving" rapists?

reply

The movie sucked and was hella stupid with or without the rape scene. But the Rape Scene capitolizes on the stupidity of this "Adult Thriller" type film. Kickboxer 4 was still stupider though.

reply

It was a terrible film.

Daniel Wu has been known to attach his name to some godawful projects in the past, but this was the worst of the lot I think.

There were no redeeming features whatsoever and scenes like the rape scene and the beach scene were in there just to make the movie seem more appealing to a certain type of viewer.

reply

It's soft porn simple as that.
And very badly edited.
<My theory- The rape was to de-sensitize these "assassins".
No different than many military training tactics you hear about, true or invented.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who found the scene funny as hell Both me and my wife were laughing our arses off. I never thought I'd ever laugh at a rape scene but this film somehow managed it. The film as a whole is so bad in places it's hilarious.

reply

I think that most of it was just inappropriate I mean the situation was supposed to be serious but instead they decided to make it the most mundane unnecessary laughable scene that was just placed in the movie to make it longer, they could have just added another fight scene instead. High fives all around!!!
