you may say you’re over the whole 3d fad but we here at the alamo drafthouse beg to differ . how can you truly be over a gimmick unless you’ve seen said gimmick applied to sex ? that’s right , we’re bringing 3d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy to katy , texas .
supposedly based on an ancient chinese tale called “the carnal prayer mat , ” as was the 1991 2 - d “sex and zen , ” christopher sun’s “3d sex and zen” is the story of a feckless ming dynasty scholar , wei yangsheng ( hiro hayama ) ; his long - suffering wife , tie yuxiang ( leni lan ) ; and the evil prince of ning ( tony ho ) , who spends a good part of the movie torturing them .
sex is a difficult , time - consuming and exhausting business in
sex and zen ,
employing ladders , braces , ceiling mounts , loaves of bread , dildos , and positions only a chiropractor could understand , or treat . but all comes full circle when mei yang , now nearly blind , ends up in the brothel where his wife works , and learns a valuable lesson .
in the same way that chinese manufacturers solve problems by marshaling vast amounts of cheap labor , “3d sex and zen” gets around the demands of story and performance through the deployment of brigades of female breasts . they are bared , squeezed , licked , slapped , punched and pressed against glass in a profligate manner that says , we can do this all day , and all night too . prosthetic penises receive even rougher treatment , being sliced or snipped off with some regularity . sex in this film looks so nonecstatic that a better title might have been “3d sex and zen : zero child policy . ”

sex and zen
is trully a gem . it combines beautifully good looking women with gorgeous bodies , humor , plot , and ending with a moral . i think it inspired after copycat movies to follow , but then none that came after it could achieve the climax
sex and zen
had achieved . without giving too much away , watching
s & z
is like watching a hong kong swordsplay movie but this is on the topic of sex . a trully unique experience that can only come out of hong kong movies . a 8 / 10 on my book .
to go with the heightened sensory experience , shiu also promised that 4d sex and zen would include more intense sex scenes . “this time we will be paying more attention to that , and will be enlisting the aid of experts from japan to direct these scenes , ” he said . shooting on the film is scheduled to begin at the end of this year . [ twitch ]
the cantonese historical fantasy “ 3d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy ” was banned in mainland china but is now rolling out in cities across the united states and canada . the chinese government has committed either an astute piece of film criticism , an insidious act of cultural terrorism or both .
sex and zen
is a nostalgic reminder of the soft - core sex films of the 1960s , before
i am curious ( yellow )
and
deep throat
began the hard - core revolution and turned adult films forever away from sex and towards plumbing . it is interested in how the characters look . it has a plot . it wants to be beautifully photographed ( although it was too saturated in reds for my taste ) . it has a sense of humor , teaches a simple moral , and in amy yip it has a heroine who i would not have to be dragged kicking and screaming to see again .
as extra insurance ( sex doesn’t always sell ) , sex and zen also delivers a tangled story of romance , fantasy , magic and wisdom ( happiness lies in real love , not carnal acts ) and sets this hodgepodge in a dynasties - old setting of royal sybarites , magicians , wealthy dabblers , religious sages , sinister villagers and warring factions ( dagger knives and all ) . much of the action ( and that can be read both ways ) takes place in an elevated stony tower of curvy hallways and vast chambers worthy of any lord of the rings , harry potter or disney fairytale setting .
stephen shiu , the producer behind the steamy 2011 blockbuster 3d sex and zen , told the daily chilli newspaper that he intends on using a vibrating seat technology in hong kong theaters for the film ' s sequel , 4d sex and zen : slayer of a thousand from the mysterious east . the first film beat out the hangover , part ii when it came out in june with an opening day take of hk $ 2 . 79 million ( $ 360 , 000 ) , taking the island ' s box office record from avatar .
as of monday ,
3d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy
has earned $ 4 . 1 million in its home market , $ 1 . 75 million in taiwan and $ 870 , 000 in australia , where it has been screening in brisbane , melbourne and sydney at movie theaters catering to ethnic chinese communities , publicist carmen wong said tuesday .
apparently , this tradition of each sequel going bigger than the last isn’t just a hollywood thing . it seems the folks behind that avatar - defeating chinese softcore film 3d sex and zen are determined to get even wilder this time around , and they’ve figured out just the way to do it . after the jump :
how do you take 3d big screen sex to the next level ? by making it 4d , of course .
i wonder what the original title
yu pu tuan zhi : tou qing bao jian
means , but the english title
sex and zen
sums the movie up nicely , if you translate zen as
you know , asian stuff : drinking tea , silly daggers , eating rice , kicking the stuffing out of your opponent
. sex and zen is an interesting and genuine asian twist on your average softcore / erotic skin flick , a tasty offering of steamy sex scenes which are loosely tied together by an story . for my taste , the storytelling was a bit too loose and erratic as i ' m a big fan a of plot , narration and development . i found myself wondering somewhere in between the rape scene in the fabrics warehouse and the calligraphy - by - shoving - a - brush - up - your - unspeakables segment how it all fits together . overall it ' s well worth a viewing , but because of the surreal and incongruent storytelling it didn ' t really grab me .
however ,
sex and zen ,
a remake of a 1991 hong kong movie by the same name , still has a long way to go before beating the cumulative take of
avatar ,
which raked in a record $ 23 million in hong kong and then another $ 400 , 000 with an extended version .
what follows in droves are intrigues involving the nearby ancient village and its evil mayor ( lau shek yin ) , stolen artifacts , battles fought with swords , guns and flying daggers , prisoners taken and tortured , the evil prince thwarted and a sweet ending . and , of course , lots of sex tossed in wherever possible .
the chinese blockbuster 3d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy is coming to the alamo drafthouse — mason park . don ' t miss this darkly comic take on sexual exploration and liberation during its run in katy . until you ' ve seen gratuitous nudity in 3d , you ' ve not seen the format used the fullest of its abilities .
“many men want to be like mei yeung - sheng , ” claims the opening narration of sex & zen ii . um , really ? were they looking away from the screen during all the genital mutilation and violent death in the first film ? that may be the case with simon khan ( elvis tsui ) , a full - blown sex fiend with three wives and a spam javelin capable of castrating a bull in a penile tug of war . you don’t get to have a sex drive this powerful without also having issues with female sexuality , and they manifest themselves in a massively protective attitude towards his daughter yau ( loretta lee ) .
sex and zen 3d : extreme ecstasy is the world’s first 3d erotic film . directed by christopher sun and banned in mainland china , this surefire cult classic in the making is adapted from the ancient chinese text the carnal prayer mat and follows scholar wei yangsheng as he sets out to become a better lover for his beautiful new wife . peppered with humor , high–drama and endless eroticism , this new film delivers a bevy of unparalleled 3d effects and glossy cinematography that you won’t want to miss .
the film’s poster features a pair of come - ons : a bevy of women dressed as if for work in a shenzen karaoke parlor , and the tagline “the first 3d erotic movie . ” that claim is false on two counts . there have been many 3 - d pornographic movies ( who can forget “blonde emmanuelle in 3 - d” ? ) . and there’s nothing erotic about “3d sex and zen . ”
sex and zen 3d : extreme ecstasy is an elaborate costume drama with loads of sex and a plot knottier than a fallen ball of yarn . most definitely , the easily offended better head for the hills , although the film is more soft - core phony than graphic x . audiences are spared penetration shots or real genitalia , although phony penises , many in startling iterations , abound , as do some flashes of female pubic hair . the 3d is merely one more of the film ' s visual extravagances , but viewers beware : some pretty weird stuff springs forward . as the asian film industry and their western partners contemplate how the west can be won , new china lion is wisely focusing for now on reaching filmgoers of chinese heritage in north america . with sex and zen , available to theatres in both 3d and traditional 2d formats , the initiative is trying for an edgier crowd that goes for things alternative .
more sex & zen sequels followed : another one from wong jing in 1998 , and a retrospectively - retitled ‘early years’ prequel made four years before the original . by the turn of the century , it was assumed that the series was spent . but that would be to ignore the viagra - like powers of the third dimension , as in 2011 sex & zen : extreme ecstasy was hyped up by its opportunistic producers as “the world’s first 3d erotic movie” . i suspect the equally opportunistic producers of the stewardesses would take issue with that , particularly as they made their film in 1969 . and other people might take issue with the word ‘erotic’ .
( 1987 ) and numerous imitators about a battle with a sex - changing sorcerer . while such a story might have been okay on its own , as a sequel to the sublime
the soft - porn movie “3 - d sex and zen : extreme ecstasy” pulled in 13 . 1 million hong kong dollars ( us $ 1 . 7 million ) on its opening weekend in hong kong , topping the box - office chart for the four - day period ending sunday , according to the local motion picture industry association .
3d sex and zen is a movie that has to be seen on the big screen and the alamo drafthouse – mason park is the only place you’re going to be able to do that in houston . don’t miss this film’s limited engagement on the big screen . tickets are available to purchase now . ( due to the graphic nature of the content , no one under 18 years old will be admitted . )
the success of the first sex & zen more or less assured a sequel , but it would be five years before sex & zen ii hit the screens . there’s no real connection to the first film : we have a new director ( chin man kei ) , an almost entirely new cast , and a worrying name suddenly appearing in the producer credits . wong jing is one of the most notorious hacks in hong kong cinema : for the last three decades or so , he’s been using the hot cinematic trend of the day as the basis for a series of slapdash spoof movies with terrible jokes . which is sort of what he’s done here , but in a good way .
the film , which reportedly heated up box office in asia , australia and new zealand but was banned in mainland china , is certainly edgy—there are lots of orgies , loads of breasts bared , frequent couplings assuming a variety of positions and sex acts , girl - on - girl action , s & m , icky forms of torture , outrageous sex toys and other paraphernalia , creepy castrations and weird penis enhancement operations , etc . at the very least , no filmgoer who braves this journey will be left high and dry : if the body doesn’t tingle ( in spite of so many loud moans and bumping sounds ) , at least minds boggle .
granted , 3d sex & zen : extreme ecstasy is streets ahead of the other two films in technical terms – it’s glossily shot , and its subtitles are in something approaching grammatical english , even if they are a bit small . ( they are small , it’s not just my eyesight . ) but the beauty of its photography just makes its torture porn posturing even more unacceptable . if you have to go for one of these films above all the others , i’d suggest that it’s the least known of the three that comes off best – sex & zen ii , where tragedy is repeated as farce . hell , if a confessions film had ended with robin askwith’s veiny bang stick exploding , i’d have enjoyed it . wouldn’t you ?

but in spring 2011 , a film came out whose performance was spectacular enough to make global headlines : a 3d production whose opening weekend effortlessly outgrossed that of avatar . how did it do that ? well , a title like 3d sex & zen : extreme ecstasy definitely helps . the film had a reasonably solid theatrical run worldwide , including here in the uk , where it’s just been released on dvd in smudgy red / blue 3d . western viewers may not realise , though , that this is merely the most recent entry in a hong kong movie franchise that’s been running for two decades now . in asia , they’ve been wildly popular and successful : but here , the sex & zen movies are barely known outside of a small audience of grimly masturbating fanboys .
3d sex an zen depicts the erotic exploits of a young ming dynasty scholar . as the scholar seeks a cure for his erectile dysfunction , he experiences a cornucopia of learning from a school of masters . when watching the film , you can expect “items” of all shapes and sizes ( and from a variety of species ) , bouncing breasts , beheadings and more — all in three glorious dimensions . producer stephen shiu yeuk - yuen compares watching the film on the big screen to “ ( being a ) voyeur near someone’s bed . ”
michael mak’s 1991 film sex & zen is based on a classic literary source – li yu’s the carnal praying mat , a book that’s been “banned for 400 years ! ” if you believe the video sleeve . its central character is mei yeung - sheng ( lawrence ng ) , a libertine who we first encounter having an argument with wise old man the sack monk about the nature of sex and pleasure . will this argument come around again to haunt him in the final scene ? of course it will : but we get to watch mei’s sexual misadventures on the way to his comeuppance .
the sex and zen series has been going strong in china since 1991 when the first film , a hong kong erotic comedy directed by michael mak loosely adapted “the carnal prayer mat , ” a chinese erotic novel by 17th century author li yu . two sequels later , director christopher suen finally realized what it was was missing — 3d . don’t believe us ? the film actually out grossed james cameron’s avatar in hong kong !

what’s that ? you were expecting to find this sexy or something , were you ? well , sorry about that . chinese audiences loved sex & zen , and it racked up a cool twenty million hk dollars at the box office despite the most restrictive certificate the censors could throw at it . but the main pleasure that a western viewer can get out of the film is trying to reverse engineer chinese sexual attitudes out of it . and the first thing you notice is just how adolescent the approach to sex is . size is everything : all too often , mak is happy to point his camera at a large pair of bouncing breasts and just leave it there for ten seconds . the sex scenes aren’t in the least bit erotic – they’re shot with the aesthetics of a kung fu movie , where the outrageousness of the physical contortions depicted outweighs any attempt at real world biology , or even physics .
hong kong is home to the world ' s third largest film industry after hollywood and bombay . the movies tend to emphasize action , and lots of it . but according to the press release , the 200 films covered in stefan hammond ' s and mike wilkins ' s sex and zen and a bullet in the head are not just chop - socky . rather , these movies are
sexy , fast - action supernatural ,
not to mention historical and occasionally downright silly ? even without the awkwardly translated subtitles like

despite the charming cast , 3d sex & zen : extreme ecstasy is a disappointment which does not live up to its hype . as an erotic movie , it is not as satisfying as a hard - core pornographic movie . as a drama , it has paper - thin and inconsistent characters . that the main character and his wife suddenly miss each other is totally without substance . as a result , it fails to touch some members of the audience and the delivery of the message becomes very weak . on the whole , it is a cult movie mixing pornography , foul language , jokes , romance , gore and action . however , it falls between two stools . you are advised not to take the plot seriously and expect any hard - core images , or you may be disappointed . a similar korean movie , a frozen flower , is highly recommended .
hey , it ' s no masterpiece . it is what it is : soft - core eroticism . but on that basis , it succeeds , which is why i am giving it three stars . all criticism is subjective , all star ratings are relative , and if you have read this far you want to know if

while i have a great fondness for this awful gem , i just don ' t buy that bit . two women ? in that position ? with a flute ? there ' s just no way . the first thing that sold me on this movie was the flying medieval thief guy . everyone knows that any film is made intrinsically better by the inclusion of an amusing flying thief . ; ) the amusing preparation of the young scholar ' s wife for her first sexual experience was the second . especially , the look on our hero ' s face as he attempts to deal with it ! this movie is very silly and surprisingly strenuous in sections ; two memorable scenes include a rampant , gymnastic almost - rape among bolts of hanging silk , and an incredible cardiac workout underwater . if you like silly martial arts movies and sex , you will probably enjoy sex and zen . it is softcore , so you don ' t really see anything more than breasts or the odd bum . the subtitles are unfortunately a little hard to read , but the entertaining action speaks for itself .

sex and zen ( 1992 ) is one of the most popular of the category iii genre films . this film has reached a far more mainstream audience world wide . it has appeared in art house theaters and video stores . to give you an idea about this movie i am going to pose a question for you . what does amy yip , a man who loves the ladies and a horse have in common . alone , nothing at all but watch the movie and you ' ll have a good idea . bizarre erotic fun from hong kong ( courtesy of category iii ) . in cantonese with english sub - titles . stars amy yip , lawrence ng , carrie ng and kent cheung . a strange period piece that ' ll have you wanting more . don ' t fret , they made a few more sequels that were even more sexually charged than the first film . for shame the chinese government put an end to this films . they saved the film making industry ( for awhile ) . highly recommended .
there ' s no zen here , which someone slapped on the english title , just the sex . a needy imperial scholar goes around trying to have lots of it . we see areolas rubbing together . two women in all fours share a flute . calligraphy brushes , whips and chains , some bondage . it has proper decor and costumes , a sense of plot . it ' s still emmanuella stuff . the same thing grates as in all the other skin flicks . is sex just two bodies slathering together ? in a teenager ' s mind maybe or if sexy means seeing a boob . or is it a matter of context you inhabit , in which you change someone ? more proper to call it sexual or erotic , it has started long before you enter the room and glows long after . women know about this more than we do . mind blowing sex is always with someone you know or can harness yourself in a context in which you do ; the rest is monkeying around to extinguish a boner . so what ' s sexy about a thing like this ? what ' s deviant or risky ? cardboard characters who we don ' t know in the slightest go around rubbing themselves on each other . one pretends to be ravished , another pretends to be aroused at being whipped . it ' s like fake bondage for a penthouse spread .

extreme ecstasy is somewhere between a remake and a ( hawk , spit ) reimagining : it doesn’t exactly follow the plot of the original sex & zen , but there are enough plot points in common to satisfy the purists . once again , there’s a young libertine wei ( hiro hayama ) who marries a woman in haste ( tie , played by lan yan ) – only this time , it’s premature ejaculation that proves to be his downfall . one - push wei decides that a larger giggling pin will help him get over his problems , and a pair of cowboy surgeons fit him up with one from a passing donkey . wei goes on to live a life of sexual excess on the premises of the dodgy prince of ning ( tony ho ) : meanwhile , his neglected wife tie is reduced to using the domestic staff for comfort , a decision which will have terrible consequences for everyone .

yangsheng’s strong card is his ability to spot forgeries in the prince’s art collection . he wins the prince’s favor and joins in the action , even though his master monk budai ( wong shu tong ) and an elderly couple teach that true happiness outlives carnal pleasures . the indulgent yangsheng caves to the decadent lifestyle of the prince and his harem . he gains access to the prized pavilion of ultimate bliss and to lovemaking expert ruizhu ( saori hara ) , where they go at it for days . eventually , trouble at home catches up with the scholar’s passionate excesses , and wife yuxiang wants a divorce . but yangsheng returns to the tower and encounters sadist dongmei ( suou yukiko ) , who enjoys the excruciating pleasures of getting tattooed and argues that yangsheng’s small penis is the source of his problems . he then meets the androgynous elder of ultimate bliss ( vonnie lui ) , an old man in a beautiful woman’s body , who further ministers to his needs .

but there’s a more disturbing undercurrent going on here . aside from the old fashioned gross - out laughs that come from having horse tadgers flying around all over the place , there’s all manner of penetration with foreign objects ( one scene with a flute anticipates american pie by eight years ) and forced sex that gradually becomes consensual ( all the s & z films have suffered at the hands of the uk censor for this particular reason ) . and it leads to an unpleasant conclusion : mei eventually realises the folly of his libidinous lifestyle , and all it takes to reveal this to him is the love of a good woman . when i say ‘love’ , i mean ‘violent death’ , unfortunately . but it’s depicted as the ultimate tragedy for him rather than her , which leaves a nasty taste in the mouth .

when this movie first came out , i never expected it to be the classic that it has become . it ' s really a somewhat unlikely , and silly story about a man who doesn ' t know a good thing when he gets one , and ruins his life . hong kong actress amy yip who was known for her nice figure was the attraction for seeing this movie . the other attraction that was somewhat unexpected was the scene between rena murakami , and isabella chow . rena was starring in both japan , and hong kong in the early ' 90s , and was a much sought out talent . if you see this scene , you can see why . this movie received lot of endorsement from hong kong penthouse magazine when it first came out , and probably this publicity helped in making it the commercial success that it was . it ' s a lavish production for a cat iii movie , and is made very well . the success of this movie seemed to benefit future up coming stars that has appeared in part 2 , and 3 of this movie , like siu qi . so it had rather wide reaching effect as well . not an artistic movie , but good entertainment from the ' 90s hong kong .

the world of hong kong cinema is fascinating and this book is a perfect tour guide for those wanting to start dipping their toes into this wonderful pool of cinematic insanity . hong kong cinema may draw plenty of inspiration from the west , but the works that it has produced are unlike anything else out there . there ' s a sense of reckless abandon that permeates so much of what hk filmmakers craft and this book is an excellent primer on the films that are among the realm ' s most influential and important works .

mei yang marries the beautiful and pneumatic yuk heung ( amy yip ) , but their wedding night is not successful , in part because of his bizarre bondage practices , in part because she swallows the egg she was supposed to hold in her mouth , for reasons still obscure to me . he then sets out on an odyssey to conquer other women . when his equipment is found to be lacking , he has a rather advanced transplant operation involving a horse and ends up as a cross between john wayne bobbitt and man o ' war .
in an attempt to settle down , mei gets married to huk - yeung ( amy yip ) : but their wedding night turns into a bit of a disaster , climaxing in mei accidentally slicing open his tummy truncheon . ( be warned , penile mutilation is a major comic theme running through this franchise . ) before too long , mei is mucking around with other women again , leaving huk - yeung alone in the house with only a series of oversized calligraphy brushes to keep her company . but he’s still not satisfied , and so takes the only course of action he can see open to him : he gets a doctor to replace his crimson crowbar with that of a horse . once all the grafts have healed , mei is able to throw himself into his sex life with even more abandon , and inevitably this is where things start to go horribly wrong for him .
far from the orbit of planet hollywood , the new cinema of hong kong beckons . gone are the flying pigtails and contrived fist - thuds of your father ' s favorite chopsockies . these are punch - straight entertainers , movies juddering with the excitement that put the
motion
in motion pictures . dodge a thousand bullets as you contemplate the heroic gangster - knights of master director john woo . watch international superstar jackie chan perform action - comedy on the edge of peril . wrap your imagination in the fantasy of director tsui hark , who proffers comely ghosts floating on silk , otherworldly romance , and no - joke witches and demons . and there ' s much more ! fighting femme flicks featuring fatales hiking up their designer dresses and bouncing spike heels off the bad guy ' s forehead . stylish tragedies rivaling the best of hollywood noir . brain - boiling monster weirdies to delight the grindhouse faithful . subtitles that mangle the english language into fabulous new mutations .
wei yangsheng accompanies his friend as he goes to court tei yuxiang as a potential bride . however , yangsheng dazzles yuxiang with a drawing he makes of her and proposes to her instead . after they marry , she remains sexually disappointed because yangsheng does not take long in the bedroom . yangsheng decides to leave yuxiang and joins the prince of ning in his cliffside pavilion where the prince collects the rarest things in the world . there yangsheng indulges himself among the princes many wives and learns much about pleasure . when one of the women refuses him because of his small penis size , yangsheng decides to undergo an operation to receive a transplanted donkey penis . yangsheng then becomes caught up in a convoluted revenge plot launched against him by the prince and in various conspiracies to overthrow the prince .
ming dynasty scholar wei yangsheng ( hiro hayama ) arrives here after having married the lovely tie yuxiang ( leni lan ) and realizing that their all - too - hurried lovemaking leaves her cold . at the tower , he hopes to hone his amatory skills and falls under the spell of the decadent prince of ning ( tony ho ) , who oversees orgies with his concubine of beautiful women .
and i do mean terrible . the original film’s cheerful anything - goes perversity , with a side order of sexual violence , has its priorities completely reversed in this one . the sense of ridiculousness is still there – not for nothing is the last line of the film “fuck , what nonsense” – but there’s a much nastier edge to it all . for every amusing sequence where wei parades his new bacon bazooka in a cheesy kill bill parody , there’s a bit where a minor character is raped to death ( in a scene so gratuitous , it’s been completely removed from the uk release without any obvious impact to the story ) . even the much - vaunted 3d is poorly used , with no real attempt at using it to enhance the sex scenes . and there’s a lazy will - this - do quality to the plotting which stops even the most outrageous twists in the tale from being amusing : two of the major baddies literally die from falling over in the final reel .
strong is taking over from brown and steven knight , who previously wrote a script for the film . strong’s talents will next be seen in jay roach’s game change , which airs on hbo later this month .
