Time for an obscure movie review, courtesy of SBS presenting us with obscure movies. Operation Pink Squad 2 tells of the further adventures of four police women with guns being used for cases only female cops could do (ie. pretending to be prostitutes). In this second installment, they are disguised as smugglers disguised as prostitutes, the smuggling being of forgery equipment. The sting moves from the whorehouse to a haunted house, wherein a kung-fu monk ghosthunter traps a bunch of ghosts in the basement, but misses one. Meanwhile one of the cops' husbands thinks she's having an affair with her boss, which, in a very Frasier-plot sort of way, escalates to him believing that the boss is having kinky four-way sex with the entire Pink Squad, chasing him into the basement, and then getting into a fight with a couple of ghosts, one of whom is more like a zombie.
The less zombie-ish ghost compels him to suck its toes in the elevator, such that his wife discovers it and believes him to be having an affair too, despite his insistence that, no, it's a ghost. Meanwhile the mobster type chap they're supposed to be catching is also trying to have sex with the ghost, in the elevator. They chase and are chased by the ghost for a bit, in a somewhat Three Stooges manner, eventually chopping its head off so that they can be pursued by a headless body and a flying severed head instead, until the monk returns and they, er, decide to chase the ghost head with fully armed remote-controlled helicopters.
The ghost head generously decides to explode itself and splatter magical ghost blood everywhere, which apparently means that ghosts from all around will congregate upon those blood-splattered, unless a male virgin, a drum, and a bell can be appropriately congregated. These extra ghosts are very zombielike indeed, only falling short on the 'brains', though they have a decent 'grarh'. The required objects are applied, and, er, a goodie ghost appears and summons four camp guardian ghost kings who fight with a goo-whip, a couple of other things that I didn't notice, and a mandolin. The mandolin camp guardian ghost very much resembles Jack Black of Tenacious D, not least in his manner of aggressive mandolinery, up to and including the breakage of a string and the continued battling using a substituted rocking mini-mandolin.
Also at some point in the story are the following elements: a urinating-distance competition, some poisoned coffee, an argument about which of the male characters should be the one to get castrated, and a gangster arguing with a ghost's head in a bag full of money.
I think outlining the plot more than suffices as a review, in this case. If you get the opportunity, watch this movie. With a bee.
