One of the most infamous Category III films, Chinese Torture Chamber Story pulls the viewer in multiple directions at once, freely mixing stomach churning sadism and over-the-top gore with exuberant softcore sex and comedy ranging from childish to incredibly bizarre. Maiden Little Cabbage is brought before the local magistrate, after she is found covered in blood beside the dead body of her husband, Got Siu-tai. The man died after consuming a kind of super aphrodisiac which caused his already immense penis to explode! Flashbacks reveal how Little Cabbage was hired to be a maid in the home of scholar Yang Ni-mu. After accidentally catching her mistress cheating on Ni-mu with the evil Lau Hoi-sing, Little Cabbage was married off to the homely Siu-tai(whose member is so huge that ejaculation could prove to be fatal to his partners!). When Hoi-sing tries to take advantage of Little Cabbage, he is severely beaten by Siu-tai, setting in motion the events that led to the present court case.

Produced using sets and costumes left over from the Stephen Chiau comedy Hail the Judge, this Wong Jing production can be accused of a lot of thingsbut few would call it boring. Particularly memorable is a send-up of the pottery wheel scene in Ghost, accompanied(as in the American film) by "Unchained Melody," played here on Chinese instruments(you'll never be able to think of that song again without laughing and / or wincing)! Also unforgettable is a sex scene between C-III regulars Elvis Tsui and Julie Lee. Playing martial arts masters, the two engage in wild, gravity-defying sexual stances like "Invincible Mouth," "Oral Attack," "Invincible Wheel," and "Wonder Screw," with their superhuman pelvic slamming accompanied by video game-style sound FX! Obviously not for all tastes, the film can be marginally enjoyable if approached in the right frame of mind (assuming that is at all possible) but some all-too-serious misogyny, torture, and sexual violence make parts very hard to endure and negatively color the entire experience. Director Bosco Lam went on to write the original story for Viva Erotica, and clips from Torture Chamber Story appear in that film during a sequence where Leslie Cheung and Law Kar-ying go to the movies. The unrelated Chinese Torture Chamber Story II followed in 1998.

What is this movie about? Different types of torture, dismemberment, sodomy, gratuitous naked scenes and sex scenes, plus, as a bonus, a plot with a twist!!! If you are into this type of thing, don't miss this one.

Wong Jings original "Chinese Torture Chamber Story" was an undisputed classic of the Category III genre, and one of the few which enjoyed any kind of mainstream success or recognition. Given this, and the veritable swamp of similar sleaze films already available for discerning fans, the inevitable sequel had a lot to live up to in order to stand out from the crowd. Since to most casual viewers Category III films in general are indistinguishable slices of dubious, lamentable non-entertainment, this was somewhat of a tall order. Thankfully, at least for those who cares, "Chinese Torture Chamber Story 2″ is indeed a worthy follow up, and though it does not quite live up to the insane legacy of its predecessor, it is a far superior example of the genre, and one which enjoys pleasingly decent production values whilst plumbing new depths of depravity. Of course, this in itself should be enough to start alarm bells ringing in the minds of any sensible viewer, and rightly so, as “Chinese Torture Chamber Story 2″ contains liberal lashings of debauchery and some truly shocking, odious scenes of gore and sexual violence.

Whilst the original film justified its content through some vague claims of being based on an actual case of adultery from ancient times, this salacious sequel seems instead to have been inspired by some of the 1970s Shaw Brothers classics such as “All Men are Brothers”. Here, the story begins as Ma(Mark Cheng) is waylaid by a couple of wretched bandits en route to taking up the position of general in the capital city. The two would-be robbers, Cheung(Wai Lam) and Wong(Hung Yeung), turn out to be good men who have fallen on hard times, and after spending some quality time with them, Ma swears an oath of brotherhood, and that he will take care of them in the future. Ma does seem to be a good sort, though during his stay he falls for Lotus(Yolinda Yamhe Head”), who happens to be Wongs sister and the wife-to-be of the conveniently impotent Cheung. A few months later, the reformed bandits travel to the capital, and once more meet up with Ma, who is now the all powerful governor. True to his word, Ma takes his friends under his wing, though it soon becomes clear that he is no longer the kind, friendly man they knew, and is instead now a cruel tyrant who is obsessed with crushing all who stand against him. Driven by an awful secret from his past and his lust for Lotus, Ma manipulates and ultimately imprisons his friends in a twisted bid to fulfill his political ambitions and dreadful lusts.

One of the more surprising things about "Chinese Torture Chamber Story 2" is that the story works rather well, and that it is, initially at least, a genuinely affecting tale of brotherhood. The early scenes of Ma bonding with the two bandits come across as quite heartfelt, and provide a nice echo of the films they imitate. Director Kin-Nam Cho(Chinese Erotic Ghost Story) keeps the mood of the first half quite light without resorting to an abundance of the genres trademark lowbrow slapstick, and this gives the atrocities of the second half an impact often unfeeling in similar Category III efforts. In this way, "Chinese Torture Chamber Story 2" does actually resemble a proper film, unlike so many of its brethren.

"Chinese Torture Chamber 2" does later venture into very dark territory, dealing with such themes as child abuse and barefaced betrayal, and the result of this is a very different prospect than the original, where the bloodletting had a cheerfully demented quality. In this film, the violence and sexual abuse, though at times still played for uncomfortable titillation, are genuinely unpleasant, and Cho throws in some fairly sickening scenes, even by the standards of the genre. One sequence in particular, featuring a flashback to the assault of a child, inter-cut with the anal rape of a female cast member using a paint brush(complete with spurting blood), is sure to shock even the most jaded follower of Category III. This is just one of a whole catalog of similar offenses, which firmly establish the film as one of the genres most distasteful. However, in Chos defense, as a result of the efforts made at establishing plot and character earlier in the film, and the fact that the proceedings are generally quite well directed, these scenes are far less gratuitous than in other films, though admittedly no less distasteful. Similarly, although the film is undoubtedly misogynistic, the male characters are subjected to equally frequent and barbaric humiliations and tortures, which is somewhat rare for the genre. At the end of the day, no matter what is written about it, only fans of Category III cinema are likely to watch "Chinese Torture Chamber Story 2", which is probably just as well, as it would undoubtedly prove a traumatic experience for the uninitiated viewer. The film is definitely above average for its type, and is recommended for connoisseurs of the form, though with a slight warning not to expect the rather jovial nature of the original, and to be prepared for some genuinely unpleasant scenes.
