The category III sexploitation revival continues with “The Forbidden
Legend: Sex and Chopsticks 2”, the next instalment of director Chin Man
Kei’s adaptation of the Chinese text ‘Jin Pin Mei’, a.k.a. ‘The Plum in
the Golden Vase’. Chin is certainly more than qualified to reintroduce
viewers to the crazy excesses and pleasures of the form, having been
responsible for some of its finest hours during the heyday of the mid
1990s, including “Sex and Zen 2” (Starring none other than Shu Qi) and
“The Eternal Evil of Asia”. Thanks no doubt to the presence of a
gorgeous bunch of brave actresses and AV starlet beauties, the films
have proved a surprise success, hopefully with more of the same on the
way, apparently including a forthcoming 3-D sex film set in Ancient
China.The plot begins where the original left off, with Simon Qing (Lam
Wai Kin, an old hand at the genre, having starred in “Chinese Erotic
Ghost Story” some years back) feeling pretty happy, having added Lotus
(AV star Hayakawa Serina) to his collection of concubines after
murdering her husband Wu Da Lang (Ng Chi Hung). Needless to say, the
sex obsessed man is soon lusting after a new challenge in the form of
Pinky (AV star Uehara Kaera), who reminds him of the woman he lost his
virginity to. Since she is married to one of his friends, this sets in
motion a whole new series of wicked schemes as he tries to make her
his. Matters are complicated when Wu Da Lang’s brother Wu Song (Wu Qing
Zhe) returns for revenge, reminding Lotus of a passionate encounter
from the past. Trying to keep one step ahead of Wu Song and his
increasingly unhappy wives, Simon enlists the help of family maid Plum
(Winnie Leung, who previously starred in a number of horror films,
including “Deadly Camp”, “Dial D for Demons” and “New Blood”), though
it seems that even he may not be able to worm his way out of trouble
this time.
As can probably be gleamed from the above synopsis,
“The Forbidden Legend: Sex and Chopsticks 2” is a pretty convoluted
affair, with a plot that resembles a psychotic soap opera, packed full
of scheming, double dealings and betrayals. Simon Qing is a great, if
not exactly likeable protagonist, utterly obsessed with his own carnal
desires and increasingly ruthless in his willingness to sacrifice
others in pursuit of his own satisfaction. The film really is quite
dark, much more so than the rather silly original, especially towards
the end, when the bodies start to pile up and as things build towards a
truly shocking finale. All of this works very well, and the film serves
as a reminder of the very best that the category III genre once offered
viewers a decade or so ago. Thanks to the intricacies of the plot, the
film remains engaging outside of the crazy couplings, and is
surprisingly tense, with director Chin doing a great job and wisely
remembering that more than just sex scenes are required to hold the
interest.
This having been said, gratuitous sex and nudity is
certainly the film’s raison d’être and on this score it certainly
delivers, with a fairly non stop parade of graphic scenes of almost
every variety imaginable. Some of these are pretty far out and wacky in
the finest style of the genre, including lots of swinging, red ropes
and the hilariously inappropriate use of grapes. Although it is not to
suggest that the film is a tasteful affair, Chin’s camera does at least
linger instead of leer, and despite the nasty edge during the latter
stages, there is a sense of fun to most of its encounters. The
actresses are all beautiful, whether unclothed or wearing push up
bodices that put “Curse of the Golden Flower” to shame and the film is
certainly easy on the eyes, thanks also to some surprisingly handsome
production values. This gives it a further boost, and sets it several
notches higher than its predecessors of old.
It really is great
to see this kind of film still being made today, and with such obvious
dedication to the form. “The Forbidden Legend: Sex and Chopsticks 2”
certainly stands as one of the better examples of the genre, and as a
great reminder of the highly questionable, though very enjoyable kind
of off the wall nonsense that Hong Kong cinema used to produce.
