A Wild Party (1993)
Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
Bruce Rogers – ★★★★½
“My mind is a little blown after watching this extremely energetic, extremely s&x-positive soft-core s&x comedy. Rhythmic naked writhing is the name of the game when all of boy/girl Hong Kong succumbs to swinger fever.” -
LD4Days – ★★★½
“Finding this movie is almost as hard as describing it. It’s a HK polyamorous s&x-comedy melodrama. It’s not really funny. It’s not that dramatic. But it’s refreshingly s&x positive and r@pe free in a way that almost all the other CAT III s&x films of the era aren’t.”

Bloody Beast (1994)
Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
Dennis Vehlen – ★★★½
“Bloody Beast is a bit of a generic title for a fairly memorable Cat III shocker. The premise about a psychopath with a specialty for r4ping and killing breastfeeding women (also not in that order) is pretty messed up even for this type of film.” -
Dave Jackson – ★★★
“Bloody Beast, for the most part, is unremarkable. It’s slow with long dull stretches without action. It follows the predictable Cat III serial killer flashback formula made popular by more successful efforts like ‘Dr. Lamb’ and ‘The Untold Story’.” -
Brendan Francis – ½
“After you’ve watched the heavy hitter Category III movies, this one doesn’t even hold a candle, even in the depravity angle. This was after ‘Dr. Lamb’ & ‘The Untold Story’ and both films are more shocking with a better lead performance.”

Body Lover (1993)
Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
Dave Jackson – ★★★☆☆
“I had no clue what Body Lover was when I watched it last night. It came in a pack with seven other films. But almost instantly it was reminding me of Suburb Murder — an underrated and exceptionally foul CAT III.” -
Bruce Rogers – ★★☆☆☆
“The budget was definitely geared towards ammunition and explosives and the rest was spent on nudity. I’ve seen both before in more interesting combinations but I was surprised by the sheer amount of both in such a flimsy film as this.” -
Pascal Grenier – ★★½☆☆
“Cheap but fun trashy cat III flick action drama with lots of nudity.”

Body Weapon (1999)
Reviews from Letterboxd:
-
HorrorSage – ★★★½
“What we have here might be a R-Revenge comedy? Like the act itself and the aftermath is pretty horrific. But as our cop-lady lead starts on her path of vengeance the movie gets really strange.” -
Daniel Shillito – ★★★
“Even with its mean-spirited streak, Body Weapon is a rather daring psychological thriller that combines the twisted sexuality and flamboyant savagery of Naked Killer with the physical masterstrokes of Jackie Chan in high gear.” -
PenguinBoss – ★★★★
“This in many ways is a typical mean, sleazy, stupid time from writer/producer Wong Jing. What makes Weapon special is that even though it’s a very stupid movie from a conceptual standpoint, it’s directed DEADLY serious by Aman Chang.”
