A Chinese Torture Chamber Story: Quick Takes

Some of you might've seen a movie clip on the Internet where two people, Crouching Tiger style are having sex. That was from this 1994 Cat III and Wong Jing production directed by Bosco Lam (who came up with the concept for the Derek Yee/Law Chi Leung directed Viva Erotica). Period effort and the same flashback structure as many Cat III productions from this era. Yvonne Yeung plays Little Cabbage that endures grim Ching dynasty torture while outside influences tries to prove her innocence. For once the combination of low brow humour and the grueling scenes of this story blend well together to create a, at times, completely insane Cat III entry. Not FILLED with insane imagery but instantly memorable ones, the highlight being the flying kung fu sex-fight (with Elvis Tsui and Julie Lee) and a Cat III parody of Ghost. Fans of the Sex & Zen movies should like this but be prepared for fairly strong scenes of torture (cuts to the print was required at time of release and they still remain on the dvd). You have to hand it to the Ching's, they were creative when it came to this. Also starring Tommy Wong and Lawrence Ng. A very much inferior and non-related sequel followed in 1998.
