I forgot to mention some of the film's negative points in my original comments on this film by Stephan Yip, MAD STYLIST (Hong Kong, 1997). After all the bad and boring things the film manages to be, it even rips Quentin Tarantino off and very big time, too.
The music score by Leung Chi Wa is totally vile imitation and copy of PULP FICTION (1994) score that plays during that film's now legendary credits after the restaurant scene in the beginning. The MAD STYLIST music is almost like that, but has some different notes and little different rhythm and it all sounds horrible. And unfortunately that's not all.
During the film's murder scenes and gore scenes, the image cuts to anime/animation scenes in order to create something "surreal" and again stylish, and of course it is taken straightly from Tarantino scripted NATURAL BORN KILLERS (1994), directed by Oliver Stone. The montage in the violent scenes is very similar (but not nearly as effective) as in KILLERS and these two rip off things make MAD STYLIST even more difficult to like at all. Not only it is a very affected and inept on most levels, it also tries to look and be as "cool" and as "pulp" as possible. Not a very good film this time dear Hong Kong, but fortunately this kind of disasters are not too usual and plenty.
