36 Secrets Of Courtship (1982) Director: Lu Chi Cast: Ai Ti, Ling Tai, Hu Feng, Frankie Wei, Pi Ju-hua Genre: Erotic Synopsis What's one good kung-fu epic without a fast and sexy exploitation? Yes, this film's Chinese title translates as 36th Chamber of Girl-Chasing - an obvious allusion to the mega-martial arts hit 36th Chamber of Shaolin (aka Master Killer). By any title, this erotic comedy features three lotharios who vie to become principal of the Macho Man Training School -- an extremely non-monastic institution dedicated to extremely non Shaolin-types of physical exertion. | ![]() ![]() |

Bamboo House Of Dolls, The (1973) Director: Kuei Chih-hung Cast: Lo Lieh, Brite Tove, Wang Hsia, Li Hai-shu, Terry Liu Guest Appearance: Tina Ti Genre: Erotic Synopsis This is considered one of the greatest w.i.p. (Women in Prison) films ever made. Ric Meyers, author of the seminal book, For One Week Only: The World of Exploitation Films, called it "the ultimate chain-gang kung-fu caper flick," while a leading cult movie website dubbed it: "a great piece of Hong Kong filth that just can't be beat!" All this, international martial arts hero Lo Lieh, and Asia's number one Scandinavian sex kitten, too. What more could anyone ask? | ![]() ![]() |

Scandalous Warlord, The (1979) Director: Li Han-hsiang Cast: Chin Huang, Hu Chin, Shaw Yin-yin, Linda Chu, Shirley Yu, Hui Ying-hung, Lily Li Genre: Comedy Synopsis Applauded director Li Han-hsiang was one of few directors that made softporn acceptable by mainstream audiences using the thematic device of "sex on a mission" cynicism, suggesting that sex was the ultimate power. In the sex comedy The Scandalous Warlord, the true power behind the country's many warlords were the prostitutes that these men would routinely visit. Therefore, the power in this film lays in the hands of the sassy Shirley Yu and the titillating Shaw Yin-yin. | ![]() ![]() |

Traditionally, Chinese women are supposed to accept tragedy with quietness, but Chen dismissed that myth saying that it was okay to rise up and speak for themselves one as she takes on corrupt cops and sleazy drug dealers who made her sister have sickness. | ![]() |

Diary Of A Lady-Killer (1969) Director: Yang Shu-hsi (aka Koh Nakahira) Cast: Chin Han, Fang Ying, Margaret Tu Chuan, Helen Ma, Fanny Fan Guest Appearance: Tina Ti Genre: Drama Synopsis If Agatha Christie was Asian, then Diary of Lady-Killer could may have well have been one of her burgeoning projects.

Yet after he's convicted and tossed into prison, the murders continue. He's innocent. But who did it? | ![]() ![]() |

King Gambler (1976) Director: Cheng Kang Cast: Tsung Hua, Chen Kuan-tai, Chen Ping, Wang Chung, Yuan Man-tzu, Ku Feng Guest Appearance: Ling Yun, Wang Yu Genre: Action Synopsis The Hong Kong The Sting? Well, maybe, but this film was actually a lively forerunner to the gambling film craze, which eventually swept Asian cinema. Here, it's cardsharp versus cardsharp, but with a lot more kung-fu action, in a battle of wits and fists to become the king of the casino. The double stings and triple crosses raise in complexity and imagination until what started as an unusual box office risk became a top ten hit of 1976. | ![]() ![]() |

Fu Bo (2003) Director: Wong Ching-Po, Lee Kung-Lok Cast: Eric Tsang, Anthony Wong, Liu Kai-Chi, Lee Sze-Chi, Paulyn Sun, Hugo Ng Synopsis Fu Bo lifts the veil of a seldom heard of, much less spoken about profession - that of mortuary assistants, (euphemistically referred to as "Uncle Fu") whose job is to undertake handling, dissection and cleaning up of corpses on behalf of forensic scientists. It has three narrative strands, about three agents of death, who never meet, yet affect each other's lives: a mortuary assistant, a triad assassin and a Portugese chef who cooks for death row convicts. For a film that takes place chiefly in a morgue, it confounds genre expectations gleaned from horror-thrillers like Nightwatch. While offering a voyeuristic keyhole to peer into the most repulsive and morbid details of death, it contemplates the philosophical significance of life and destiny. | ![]() |
