Taiwanese Sex Bomb

Like Hollywood star Sharon Stone, Shu Qi worked in relative obscurity until performances in a high-profile erotic film launched her as a bankable box office queen. In both cases, the actresses used their newfound notoriety to good effect, rising as legitimate leading ladies with impressive film credits to their names.

Born in a poor Taiwanese family, Shu ran away for more than ten times and once took off for six months at the age of 16. A Hong Kong producer later discovered Shu when he saw one of her erotic photo books while on a trip to Taiwan. Thereon, Shu’s extraordinary stardom began.

Shu rose to the top of the Asian movie scene garnering multiple awards and critical acclaims along the way. Her transition from a sex kitten to an international star has been remarkable, since in the Asian film market, the barrier between adult film industry and mainstream cinema is rarely crossed. From showing her cans, to appearing at Cannes, Shu has come a long way.

Shu narrowly missed her guaranteed ticket to international stardom when she was unable to star in the worldwide smash hit CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON due to a hectic schedule. But as her star power cannot be denied, Shu’s second chance for such exposure came in 2002’s THE TRANSPORTER, produced by respected French auteur Luc Besson. Since then, Shu became one of the hottest stars in the world.

Check out the sex goddess’ magnetic full-lipped sexuality in LOOKING FOR MISTER PERFECT on Saturday, 1 January at 21:00 on STAR CHINESE MOVIES. In it Shu stars as a delectable cop who sets her sights on a secret agent while vacationing at a Malaysian resort. From a sweet wallflower to a kick-butt lethal lady, Shu has it all!
