One of the most notorious Hong Kong films ever has been remastered and is
back on DVD, ready for a whole new generation of Hong Kong Cinema fans!
Sex and Zen is, simply put, one of the most unbelievable movies ever put
to film. Lawrence Ng stars as a randy scholar who challenges tradition by
attempting enlightenment via the unscrupulous ravishing of as many women
as is humanly possible. This desire occurs despite being married to his
delectable wife, played by famously top-heavy Hong Kong Cinema starlet Amy
Yip. But the quest to become the ultimate player comes with necessary
enhancements, namely a horse's member in place of the scholar's, uh,
laughably small endowment. Thanks to a quack doctor, the scholar gets the
necessary surgical help to experience life as a well-hung guy. But does
such carnal pleasure come with a price?
Based on a seventeenth century novel titled "The Carnal Prayer", this
raunchy, raucous romp is the perfect midnight film for consenting adults
looking for something very, very off the wall. Sex is played for laughs as
much as it is for titillation, resulting in many unbelievably entertaining
sex scenes. Sex and Zen has eye candy to spare, thanks to appearances by
Isabella Chow, Rena Murakami, and of course fan-favorite Amy Yip. The film
also features appearances by Category III staple Elvis Tsui, Shaw brothers
veteran Lo Lieh, and Kent Cheng as the doctor skilled in horse-to-human
organ transplant. It may not be family-friendly or even a comfortable
conversation topic, but Sex and Zen can easily be called a cult classic.
