Never Say Regret, also known as Escape to Hell is a 1990 action movie starring Yukari Oshima, Max Mok and Kara Hui (who co-starred with Oshima in Burning Ambition released the previous year).When Okura (Oshima), a Japanese tourist and the only daughter of a wealthy Japanese tycoon gets framed for drug possession in mainland China and thrown into a corrupt prison, a team of mercenaries led by Jimmy (Max Mok) had to bust her out. But as they're making their escape through the border towards Hong Kong, the triad leader responsible for the frame-up who is a rival of Okura's father, shows up in Hong Kong as well, at which point Okura and Jimmy (who had his own reasons opposing the triads) decide to take the law into their own hands and shoot their way to revenge. | |

Failed a Spot Check | |
Never Say Regret / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Okura, for some reason, NEVER considered checking her coat’s pockets before leaving her hotel, and at no point did she ever noticed the drugs inside while taking a ride from her hotel to the airport, queuing towards the ticket counter, and making her way past airport security. Keep in mind that unlike other movies involving a frame-up which drugs would be hidden in some concealed pockets or stitched into the victim’s attire, here the drugs are simply slipped in a side pocket of Okura’s coat. | |

Fan Disservice: Yes, we get to see Okura in the nude (only from her back though)… in the scene when she’s being flogged by having a water hose blasting at her by the sadistic prison warden. It’s absolutely NOT sexy in any way. | |

Never Say Regret / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: The staff and higher-ups of the prison are depicted to be ruthless, nasty, and frequently takes delight in making life difficult for the prisoners, so that the audiences wouldn’t feel too sorry for them when they get killed by Jimmy and Okura during the prison escape scene. Special mention for the Fat Bastard of a head warden, who especially enjoys beating up Okura just because she is Japanese. | |

Unkempt Beauty: Both Okura and Hsiao-feng ends up in this state after being roughed up by prison guards (especially the former), barely escaping with their lives, and spending the whole night running through the jungles. And in the finale Okura gets the stuffing beaten out of her while trying to take on Mr. Tao and his mooks, with blood coming from her mouth, but she still looks attractive as usual. | |
