So, 'The China Cat' is this interesting blend of comedy and crime, featuring a pretty wild group of femme fatals. They’re after this jade statue, and the whole thing plays out with a mix of cheeky humor and a good dose of tension. The pacing feels just right, not too rushed, letting you soak in those quirky interactions. The performances, especially from the lead, really stand out - there's a delightful, almost campy charm to it. You can see the practical effects trying to enhance the story rather than overshadow it, which is refreshing. It has this late 70s vibe that’s hard to replicate, definitely a unique piece in the genre.
This film has a bit of a niche appeal among collectors due to its obscure status and the mystery around its director. Copies in good condition are becoming harder to find, and there’s some interest in its quirky blend of genres. The limited release and unique aesthetic from the late 70s make it a curious addition to any collection focused on that era's offbeat cinema.
