Hot Asian Girl of the Month: Isabella Leong



This being October, I figured my pick would be a girl who has done some work in the genre. Now, admit ably her work has been in two crappy genre films, but she is absolutely beautiful, so who cares!

Isabella Leong was born on June 23, 1988 in Hong Kong. She can speak Cantonese, English and Mandarin. Her Portuguese father died when she was just a few months old, and she soon moved to Macau with her Chinese-English mom. They stayed there till she was fifteen years old.



By age twelve she turned to modeling to help her mom out. At age fifteen she released a pop album, Isabella, but it was not the success she had hoped for, so she turned to acting instead.



In 2004 she made her TV debut on Sunshine Heartbeat. A year later she made her film acting debut in the truly shitty The Pang Brothers movie, The Eye 3, (also known as The Eye 10 and The Eye Infinity). This was an atrocious piece of shit and a waste of her talent. I will say this about The Eye 3, it is better than the Pang Brothers' The Messengers (not that that is saying much...).



Leong continued working on films. Shooting a total of four films that year. She played a small role as Sammu Hung's daughter in Dragon Heat (also know as Dragon Squad). Said movie is a solid, bloody action film with a very impressive cast, that also included Michael Beihn and the ravishing Maggie Q. In the film Hung leads a young group of cops against specially trained baddies led by Beihn. The stylish directing, hot babes, and blood drenched violence makes this worth checking out. As I said before, Leong's role is small, but it was nice to see her in it, nonetheless.

In 2007 she stared in arthouse-lesbo film, Spider Lilies. In it she plays the lover of Rainie Yang. Now I ain't seen it, yet, but you can bet your ass I plan too! Because there needs to be more love stories between two beautiful Asian babes! Check this out:


In 2008, she made her acting debut in the mediocre crap that is The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. In it she plays Michelle Yeoh's daughter , who has to tries to prevent the Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) from being resurrected. Needless to say she fails!


But, she does kicks ass and look absolutely beautiful, in it. This a not a good film by any stretch of the word, but it is better than the other two. Well slightly better anyways. I really hate this franchise. Maybe, if they took the horror element more serious and went for an R-rating, dropped Brendon Fraiser (whom I abhor!), and stopped with the CGI-overdose I would like it. Having the hot female cast nude would help, too!



In the end, I think Leong is a very good actress. She is absolutely and completely stunning in her breathtaking beauty. I hope she gets noticed and gets better and more roles. But, with Hollywood's typical brain dead, talentless bitches getting roles, who the fuck knows. Whatever the case maybe Leong is a goddess! All hail!
