Film Based on Real-Life “Bauhinia Heroine” Gets A Concept Poster

Hong Kong Bauhinia Heroine

She’s the hero Hong Kong deserves, but not the one it needs right now. Art will imitate life imitating art in the upcoming film based on the “Bauhinia Heroine,” the real-life masked superwoman who — inspired by films like Kick-Ass – graced Hong Kong’s impoverished residential areas with food, cash, and cleavage.

The crimefighter’s mysterious appearance caught the interest of filmmaker Stephen Shiu Jr, perhaps best known for directing the much hyped Category III Hong Kong softcore film, 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy. Shiu is now reportedly working with leng mo Chrissie Chau to bring this story to life on the big screen. Now, courtesy of Weibo, a concept poster has surfaced, giving us an idea of what this real-life adaptation just might look like.

It amounts to a 30-minute Photoshop job at most, but there’s a lot to be amused by here: the inexplicably purple cityscape, the cash fanned out in one hand, the rice cooker valiantly held up by the other. The production designers — if you can call them that — at least seemed to have gotten the costume down pat. That’s not saying much, though, since the original costume wasn’t exactly an expensive hi-tech leather suit to begin with:

Thats so nice, she works the senior crowd at bingo night. Must be a slow year Gene.

why is she holding a pot? lol

She's either delivering take out or that won't fit on her utility belt.

She's sort of a Robin Hood character, delivering food to the needy and such. It's going to be 3D starring Chrissie Chau. Do a google image search on Chrissie. It's all bikini/lingerie shots.

Imagine this in 3D

Chrissie to ride

1 Mar – China actress and celebrity model Chrissie Chow's new film "Bauhinia Heroine 3D" will require her to perform on a motorcycle, but as she has no licence to do so yet, Chow has announced that she would be taking a motorcycle test and pass, according to TVB News World.

To quote the renowned model, "I plan to ask Mommy because she used to constantly ride the motorcycle on grocery runs. When I was little I constantly rode at the back. She also said that when I got the license I should give her a ride."

The 27-year-old goddess had already shown her determination in achieving this feat by scheduling herself a motorcycle test. In addition, the actress had also refused the use of stunt doubles despite burning her thigh earlier at work. She remarked that she was not worried as injuries are inevitable on set and that the team would purchase a lot of insurance for her.

"Actually I don't dare to watch my own performance, I would feel embarrassed and get the shakes, but my friends feel that I have improved with every film," said the Chaozhou-raised star.

When asked which movie of hers that she would definitely never watch again, Chow replied, "My idea was that I might as well not watch all my films but save them as material to study from."

The "Lan Kwai Fong" actress revealed that she was keen to try her hand at playing a tragic character because she wants to show a side of her that wants to be protected, as others thought she was very tough.

What about her boyfriend? To this Chow huffed, "Earlier when we went to Thailand my boyfriend got sick, and I had to take care of him!"
