Good start, but then it gets ruined

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Singapore Sling 1999 is directed by James hong he also acted in this film what was this man thinking when he made this film he never cared about the characters,story or how to bring them close so at least a decent narration could have been formed but all efforts are wasted.the plot:Michelle Drake escapes from Singapore after getting arrested for some wrong doings she makes her way back to to USA & to ask for help from a oil company man but things don't go smooth as they seem a Singapore crime lord Chang Li comes after her because Michelle married him in order to avoid prison time.the cast:all of the cast is bad except Rena Riffel & Shannon Tweed my god this lady is queen of soft core genre but there is only one sex scene its even filmed badly Shannon don't have any more sexy scenes but is a Rena Riffel film entirely.there are plenty of other Shannon Tweed films way better then this i got the DVD and i was disappointed it holds zero entertainment factor and why the name is Singapore sling its not even filmed in Singapore.overall Singapore Sling 1999 is a below average effort from the makers my rating is 2/10.skipp it.

Rena Riffel gained some notice in the mid-90s, one of the results being her central role in "Scandalous Behavior". This movie could be viewed as an attempt to pass the torch from erotica queen Shannon Tweed to Riffel. It was a relief to see RR in a more fleshed-out (pun intended) character, demonstrating both her singular attractiveness and solid acting. However, as much as I got that warm feeling from watching Rena as the tough yet sympathetic victim, I was just as quickly disillusioned by James Hong's outrageous antics as a scheming foreign businessman.For those like myself, you probably instantly identify James Hong as the chief villain in "Big Trouble in Little China". 'Lo Pan' was cool, sinister and mysterious, the last guy on earth you'd want to mess with. Not so in this movie. Apparently, being your own director gives one artistic license to put on a culture-clashing cowboy outfit and make a complete fool of yourself on screen. I cringed as Hong cut loose on a dance floor with a group of Texans, interspersed with him laughing like a madman and doing a terrible hillbilly impersonation.The rest of the movie is about what you expect from the genre. Dumb characters (what was the point of the two henchmen, anyway?), clumsy plot twists (the brother who suddenly cares more for Rena than her own fiancé does), and bad bad acting. Shannon Tweed is looking a bit ragged at this point and doesn't seem to put in as much effort here. Advice: shut the movie off after Shannon and Rena drive off in the car. Trust me – you don't want or need to see the last 10 minutes. Not since "Howling: New Moon Rising" have I seen a more contrived use of line-dancing as a plot device.

This is one of Tweed's finest. Why would you watch this movie? Accept it, for it's sex scenes or if you are a big fan of Shannon Tweed. The sex scenes are steamy and long. Tweed acts like a real fox and really knows how to turn on the audience.There are in my opinion three memorable scenes: 1. Rena Riffel's long sex scene. Wow, this woman is so bendy and hot! Her butt is one of the best I've seen in these movies. Believe me, she's one good reason to get this movie. 2. Tweed's infamous real sex scene. The scene is old fashioned but kinky. Watch out for the "real" penetration. 3. Tweed getting savage, wild sex while doing exercise. That scene is like something any man would like to experience! It's sexy at it's best. Also, the last sex scene of the movie is pretty good. Tweed gets it from behind while wearing a sexy, short dress. Yeah, it's all that good.Watch this movie if you like soft core sex flicks. Also, if you are a fan of Tweed you will be in paradise!

Granted, this film about a woman who was forced into a marriage with a corrupt Asian businessman who escapes and returns to U.S. to return to the man who unknowingly was the one who planned this marriage to help his struggling oil enterprise is cheaply done, but three things make this film worth sitting through just once.1. Lisa Comshaw, who plays a Gentleman's club manager with a kind heart, delivers a convincing performance.2. Rena Riffel, the only person who can say she appeared in both Showgirls and Striptease, delivers an annoying performance as a country girl, complete with accent, but she's so cute and adorable that you can't say anything bad about her.3. James Hong, who directed and plays the businessman, has a scene where he's given a cowboy hat and he does a "Billy Joe Ho from the Dukes Of Hazzard" performance. Hilarious.Otherwise, you've seen this movie before, and Shannon Tweed does her usual phoned-in performance.
