The AV Girl in the film:

Edmond Pang Ho Cheung is famous for his works in Hong Kong's alternative cinema. He releases another creative piece of work AV after the award-winning Beyond our Ken and the hilarious Men Suddenly in Black. The film revolves around four youngsters' venture into the pornographic industry. While this is not a new topic for movies in Hong Kong and abroad - Naked Ambition starring Eason Chan and Louis Koo may be regarded as the Hong Kong version of The People Vs. Larry Flynt - Edmond Pang is clever enough to weave into such topic the despair of today's younger generation. A film with a unique style which can hardly find its counterparts in Hong Kong's film history, AV brings out serious issues such as dreams and disillusionment through the most funny jokes and twists that you can think of.
To many university students in Hong Kong, graduation marks the beginning of unemployment rather the commencement of a prosperous career. It is during this reluctant prolonged holiday that Sai Kit, Ah Wah, Ming, and Rat come up with a crazy idea. During a porn movie party, they suddenly think of hiring a popular Japanese AV girl, a dream girl in their mind, and have some real fun with her in the name of shooting a movie. They start to secure the necessary funding, even by applying for scholarships and subsidy schemes from the government, to finance this "fake movie, real action" project...

Edmond Pang is easily one of Hong Kong's best young directors; his edgy take on Hong Kong cinema has made him a guarantee for quality Hong Kong films, even though his mainstream appeal can sometimes be questionable. For his fourth film AV (referring to Japanese adult films), Pang takes a fairly crude concept and, despite little imperfections along the way, turns it into one of the freshest and funniest Hong Kong movies this year.
Seemingly taken from Wong Jing's list of failed ideas, AV follows four college students (Wong Yau Nam of pop duo Shine, Lawrence Chou, Eric Tsang's son Tsang Kwok Cheung, and Chou Jun Fai) who are set to graduate soon, but have yet to discover their goals in life. In a random conversation, the four hear a story about a mutual friend (Tsui Tin Yau, the other half of Shine) who manipulated a girl from another school into a fake film shoot for a chance to kiss her. Upon seeing the tape of the "scene," the four develop the idea of hiring a Japa... [Read more]
Ah hah! Porn. Ain't it just wacky? No matter how much we try to deny it exists or think we're above it, there it is - in our face. Of course, this is the internet and it takes a serious problem of denial to believe the vast majority of hard drives don't contain at least some pornographic material.
Not being one of those (in denial - not with a clean hard drive) I still approached AV with a bit of trepidation. After all the basic premise of a couple of University students coming up with a convoluted plan to get some sex is a genre one tends to grow out of upon leaving high school. Or am I starting to sound like the one in denial?
Despite this, it is quite surprising to find that there is a bit more depth to AV beyond the puerile male hi-jinx the blurb suggests. If anything, there is a distinct lack of unreal escapades amongst our central protagonists, and this lends the film a more serious air than one might expect from reading the synopsis. In fact, if the film does suffe... [Read more]
