Can’t be stuck in the grungy, smutty 90s always, time to look at sleaze courtesy of a big block boy in the form of Shaw Brothers. No strangers to making extreme exploitation, dipping their toes into horror, Women In Prison films and erotica, in the director’s chair we find the often mentioned, on this site at least, Ho Fan. Initially an acclaimed photographer, he subsequently moved behind the scenes and acting (playing Monk Tang in Shaw’s epic Journey To The West adaptation that covered 4 movies), when it came to debuting in the directing chair he might’ve dabbled in varied genres across studios such as Goldig and Golden Harvest but it was Shaw Brothers that afforded him the opportunity to start developing his directorial persona. As an erotica director specifically and while he later came into his own via Yu Pui Tsuen in 1986, 1975’s Girl With The Long Hair is a signature movie. Also creating classic, long lasting celluloid via his female lead, the previously unknown Dana (Chinese name Shum Shuk-Yee), Ho Fan delivers comedic shtick while portraying the male weak race like the horny, uncontrollable dogs they are. It doesn’t feel as much as exploitation therefore but clearly, the long lasting image of Dana is there for the boys to enjoy. Unbalanced, improper, dubious moral of the story and an accomplished visual package, OF COURSE Girl With The Long Hair is a signature movie!
