Fallen Angels (chinesisch 墮落天使 / 堕落天使, Pinyin Duòluò Tiānshǐ) ist ein Filmdrama des Hongkonger Regisseurs Wong Kar-Wai aus dem Jahr 1995.
Der Film war ursprünglich als Fortsetzung von Chungking Express gedacht und handelt von einem Auftragskiller, den sein Beruf langweilt. Erst die Begegnung mit der Prostituierten Punkie reißt ihn aus seiner Lethargie.
"It's kind of exhausting and kind of exhilarating. It will appeal to the kinds of people you see in the Japanese animation section of the video store, with their sleeves cut off so you can see their tattoos. And to those who subscribe to more than three film magazines. And to members of garage bands. And to art students. It's not for your average moviegoers—unless of course, they want to see something new." Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert
"Fallen Angels is a densely packed suite of zany vignettes that have the autonomy of pop songs or stand-up comic riffs, all stitched together with repetitive shots of elevated trains, underground subway stations and teeming neon-lit streets. Although the story takes a tragic turn, the movie feels as weightless as the tinny pop music that keeps its restless midnight ramblers darting around the city like electronic toy figures in a gaming arcade." Stephen Holden, New York Times
Hoberman and Amy Taubin both placed Fallen Angels on their lists for the top ten films of the decade while the Village Voice's decade-end critics poll placed Fallen Angels at No. 10, the highest-ranking of any Wong Kar-wai film.
