3 � Stars: Sexy, Erotic and Full of Outrageous Comedic Silliness!, March 8, 2009

Woopak "The THRILL" (Where Dark Asian Knights Dwell) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Forbidden Legend: Sex & Chopsticks (DVD)

In the tradition of Chinese cinema's costume sexploitation flicks "Sex and Zen" and "Chinese Torture Chamber" comes an adaptation of a classical 17th century novel called "Jin Pang Mei" (aka. The Plum in the Golden Vase) which is a significant piece of Chinese literature alongside "The Romance of Three Kingdoms". Nope, I am not about to compare this film to the John Woo film, "Red Cliff"--I am just stating its historical literary relevance and that 2008 is a return to classics in Hong Kong cinema. "The Forbidden Legend: Sex and Chopsticks" is a solid entry in the genre of Chinese costume sexploitation and knows exactly what its target audience is. This film isn't your usual sleazy skin film, directed by Chin Man Kei (Sex and Zen 2), this is a wannabe artsy stuff.

Sung Dynasty period. Simon Qing (Lam Wai Kin) is the son of a famed sexologist named Simon Tate (Chui Siu Keung). Upon reaching adulthood, he becomes a handsome, good for nothing womanizer and well endowed. Qing... Read more

This review is from: The Forbidden Legend: Sex & Chopsticks (DVD)

Though not as well-known stateside as 'Sex and Zen', and in spite of starting off just like it, 'Sex and Chopsticks' has many gorgeous women, not just one, and great sets and costuming as well, making the asinine comedy less painful to sit through , and the sex scenes are far better and more frequent. We're even treated to a 'Flying Tiger, Hidden Dragon' sex scene with one of the more voluptuous women I've seen in an Asian flick, and all of the other sex scenarios aren't laden with the silliness that permeates 'Sex and Zen'. So it rates higher on my sexploitation meter than 'Sex and Zen', though I did enjoy that as well (read my review for details). So much so, in fact, that as soon as I finished it, I jumped online and ordered 'Sex and Chopsticks II', as it's a continuation of the same tale with the same actors and (more importantly) the same actresses. It's a salacious sashimi platter for all who enjoy the genre. Check it.
