It sounds like a flick I once saw called Frankenhooker.

Yep.
anyone see Baise Moi? by FromHell	Sep 21st, 2002 10:31:15 PM
it's a french film starring two french porn stars, the actings pretty good, and they kill people, so i was entertained, especialy since there's real fucking in it, this i think, will leave me dry, but i'll watch, i'll cry, i'll whack off half way through and go to sleep...
Weird... I never thought that ANY movie could leave me so... ind by Modern_Achilles	Sep 22nd, 2002 01:12:50 PM
I neither like it or dislike it. Its like watching an Enya video.
Harry didn't like it? What a surprise. Even the title is a j by CoolDan989	Sep 22nd, 2002 06:17:32 PM

Avoid at all costs by El_Barstardo	Sep 22nd, 2002 10:22:07 PM
I can review this movie in one word: BORING! This is the most boring film I have ever seen. The sceens go on and on with nothing happening, the 'nudity' is non existent, the action is dull, The humor, well I'm not even sure there was any humor attempted in it. I wasn't expecting The Godfather, but I was expecting a cheesy B-grade good time. The synops IS the plot. Nothing happens in this film, just horrid color work and never ending scenes. It makes Tomb Raider look like pure gold.
Sooo, bad acting, etc... by Jack Parsons	Sep 23rd, 2002 03:46:09 AM
Bad acting, lousy plot, unrealistic situations, lame attempts to lampoon other movies... it's just live action anime, then.
GODPAINART, i sincerely hope you were joking. by demian	Sep 23rd, 2002 09:46:37 AM
i still don't get why this movie, out of so many other korean movies, got the attention of harry. this movie opened in 2000 in korea, and i'd be surprised if more than a dozen koreans have actualy seen the film.
BAISE MOI by STRIDER355	Sep 23rd, 2002 01:00:08 PM
Means Rape Me, right? Anyway, SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE I CAN GET A COPY OF IT! It seems really cool, like what THELMA AND LOUISE shoulda been, what BADLANDS coulda been. So if anyone knows where I can get it, please let me know! Thanks!
Would Koreans even like this garbage? by WarDog	Sep 23rd, 2002 02:39:43 PM
Then we should pity them. What waste of film. And I thought that Korean Godzilla-wannabe Reptilian was putrid.
is this true? by Shioda	Sep 23rd, 2002 07:34:42 PM
"So Harry recently wrote a review about a film called TEENAGE HOOKER BECAME KILLING MACHINE IN DAEHAKROH. Anyways, because we're all in the know, we are aware that this film came from South Korea. Now in his review, he wrote that it was from SINGAPORE... I'm guess[ing] because IMDB has listed the SINGAPORE running time, but I posted that it was from South Korea to fix his review, and lo and behold, he erases my post and fixes his review! Pat on the back for me, that guy stole my credit! AICN punked me, ha. I'm not a bitter man, I just wanted me geek love and my nerd embracings." -- from a forum on kfccinema. just say it ain't so, harry! we fuck-ups gotta stay together. none of this sneaky infighting crap! be proud!!
no film to waste... by inc	Oct 3rd, 2002 11:07:40 PM
It was shot on Betacam with almost no money. Complaining about the technical deficiencies in a no-budget indie film is a bit pointless. ----- To me this was a one joke film, but the interesting thing was the hyper-unreal style. I was actually quite impressed by the crazy color look they got, but it did remind me of early 80s music videos. ----- It's only 60 minutes of your life, and shows you that Koreans want to do freaky-ass movies too. I think they're being heavily influenced by all the anime they've been sweatshopping for the Japanese.
to answer your question, by demian	Oct 20th, 2002 03:01:47 AM
no, koreans have not even heard of the film except for a handful of diehard film buffs, but even then their reviews weren't that good. this is a bad movie, in korea and abroad, and should not be regarded as a "representative" korean movie.
Remake? by TimChuma	Jun 20th, 2008 11:45:32 PM
The Machine Girl uses the same concept more successfully.
