A deal has been set in place between humans and God with keeping peace in the world, but the contract must be renewed every thousand years. At time of renewal, the devil, a funny looking demon with horns named Rock and Roll, tries to stop the deal from taking place by having sex with Monroe.
One night, a woman finds Monroe being chased by Rock and Roll, saves her, but gets beat up pretty badly in the process. The next morning, Monroe kisses her to make it all better, and her wounds are gone. So the girl brings Monroe back to work at Hot Lips, a local “massage parlor”, where she is known throughout the land as the woman with the healing mouth. But Rock and Roll isn’t fully defeated, comes back, kidnaps Monroe and the team has to go in to save not only her, but also, humanity itself.
This is the plot of Whore Angels, a Japanese pink film from 2000. Its not the best film I’ve ever seen, but it does provide moments of good comedic moments. First, Rock and Roll does not look at all terrifying as a demon, and is so over the top that you can’t help but laugh. Then to top it off, he pulls out a recorder, you know the kind of instrument you learned in kindergarten, to play the devil’s tune to make his adversaries dance. Or “Hell” itself was pretty funny seeing as it basically was a room with aluminum foil hanging from the ceiling for set decorations. It’s blatantly obvious there was no money put into this film, but it adds to the ambiance of everything happening. Also, Monroe’s “magical mouth” had some funny moments allowing blind men to see, and paraplegic men to walk again.
It’s those little things that make Whore Angels work, but it does have things going against it. The acting is really bad, even taking into account the no budget production, and as I mentioned earlier, the sets were bare bones. Also, when they go to Rock and Roll’s lair in Hell, there is an artist’s rendering of Rock and Roll, presumably drawn by a five year old, on the screen to indicate where they were going. I laughed at first, then felt really kind of sorry for everyone involved.
There’s also one fight sequence between two girls that would make Professional Wrestlers cringe in embarrassment. The girl kicks the other on the floor, then it takes a second for a reaction. If you go into it looking to have a good laugh, the fight sequences will be right up your alley as well.
Outside of the “magical mouth”, the sex scenes were pretty lacking in this film. They were either over the top, or didn’t look like they were into the moment at all. There were a good four or five scenes though, they tried to pack in as much as they could.
All in all, Whore Angels wouldn’t be at the top of my list of films to recommend checking out, but there are some good moments of hilarity that make for a good way to kill an hour.
