Lili
Lobo, a cop fired after a raid on a brothel, befriends a prostitute
named Lisa. She is unhappy with her pimp Loh and convinces Lili Lobo
to take the job. With the two of them growing closer as friends and
lovers, he becomes disgruntled with the constant parade of men poking
his girlfriend. To solve the emotional problem, Lili Lobo decides to
disguise himself as an elusive Triad boss who becomes her customer,
throwing huge money at her for a platonic relationship. Things become
complicated when Lili Lobo must secretly take a night job (as a sewage
worker) to raise the money for his 'rich character' to pay Lisa. But
that's only the beginning of escalating trouble between the two.
In
1988, the Hong Kong Motion Picture Rating System officially adopted
the Category III moniker to identify films that must be considered "Beyond
Restricted" for adults over the age of 18. Prior to 1988, the Hong
Kong Theaters Association issued their own CAT III restriction to certain
films that were deemed "taboo-breaking" and viewable by adults
only. Officially, this film was the first to receive the restrictive
rating, followed by LEWD
LIZARD in 1979 and THE
BEASTS in 1980.
Director
Lu Chiu-Ku (Tommy Loo) spent 20+ years in the Hong Kong motion picture
business, working both as an actor (30 films) and director (24 movies)
between 1973-1994. His work in front of the camera - usually under the
pseudonym Chun Lu - consisted mostly of action films and martial arts
movies. As a director, he drifted to horror and supernatural fare. One
of his first projects in the director's chair was BLACK
MAGIC CURSE in 1975; he is best known for the eye-popping HOLY
VIRGIN VS THE EVIL DEAD and the lesbian revenge flick THE
LADY PUNISHER.
