False Lady

The plot idea of a man inhabiting a woman's body has been used many times. Here it is given a uniquely Hong Kong treatment.

A real estate agent gets knocked out by a falling pot. Although he wasn't supposed to die, his spirit goes to some form of purgatory. He is told he must return to his body by noon or he will be dead. Missing the dead-line by a fraction of a second and finding that his body has been cremated he decides to take up residence in the body of a car-crash victim, not pausing to notice that the body is female. How can he persuade his girl-friend of his real identity? Can he find a way to keep his job?

If you are looking for a subtle and sophisticated comedy, look elsewhere, but if you like plenty of silly, raunchy, bad-taste slapstick and gorgeous naked women, then this is one of the more entertaining films of its kind. Highlights include a wild party were one of the women puts some form of skin penetrating aphrodisiac on the bathroom doorknob and a scene in which the hero's boss's wife responds in a unexpected way when she almost catches him playing "horsey" in the nude with his secretary.
