This
hour and a half documentary focuses on the recent addition of the
category three movie into Hong Kong cinema. Basically, these films
contain all of the usual Hong Kong trademarks but at the same time
push the barriers of what is allowed with sex and violence to the
absolute limit. This particular documentary seems to focus more heavily
on the sex scenes and seems to basically show every sex scene from
'Sex and Zen' and the 'Erotic Ghost Story' trilogy there is. From
the beginning it is obvious that as little money has been spent here
as possible with a shrill Chinese narrator laughing and joking about
sex in the movies. Some library footage is shown of fireworks and
space rockets (no guesses for guessing what this is symbolic of),
and that's about it. The audience is then shown an hour and a half
of non-stop sex scenes.
These are all quite imaginative but if you have seen the films in
which they come from there is no need to sit through this over-long
documentary where nothing is said of any interest. In my opinion you
are better off watching the films in which the clips come from. To
start with this will make more sense. The one redeeming feature of
this documentary is the film clips themselves. All of them are clearly
big budget productions and the clips show off the cinematography to
its best. However, my advice is to buy the original films then at
least you can find out the reason why all of these people ended up
sleeping together!
