The erotic moments might seem a little tame by later standards but they were particularly daring back in the day. This seductive tale focuses on the licentious sex life of a merchant and references The Plum in the Golden Vase , a classic piece of erotic literature from the Ming Dynasty.
The plot transgresses into jealously, lust and murder in this fairly soft-core film, but the sex scenes are perfectly executed and the duo beautifully captured.
Chingmy Yau stars as the deadly assassin in this delirious cult classic. While being investigated by an infatuated cop Simon Yam, again , she falls in love with a fellow female killer, who targets rapists and psychos. The story centres on a girl in search of different sexual partners as she looks to get revenge on her cheating boyfriend. This somewhat dubious classic focuses on the relationships that blossom at a local brothel. Although there are questionable scenes of torture involving eels , amid all the sex and awe, there are touching moments, while the smut and generally lighthearted side of Ancient Chinese Whorehouse was characteristic of many Category III films of this ilk.
