3D Sex And Zen: Extreme Ecstasy
Stars: Hiro Hayama, Leni Lan Yan, Saori Hara, Yukiko Suô | Written by Stephen Siu, Mark Wu | Directed by Christopher Sun Lap Key
When reviewing 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy it’s hard to understand what point of view to take it from. If you take it from the fact it’s advertised as the first 3D “erotic” movie then you would expect nothing but a porn movie where you have to wear uncomfortable glasses and expect to be sexually turned on by what you are seeing, but then when you actually do make it through it you realise that it’s false advertising.
The movie is about Wei Yangsheng who on marrying Tie Yuxiang for love fiends that he underperforms in the bedroom department, in his view of course it is not he who is the problem but her and his lusts lead...

In a place where common folk gather in search of spiritual guidance and good fortune, a group of ninja mercenaries using ”The House Of Flying Daggers” ‘s daggers … no wait… that’s not it…
Wei Yangsheng (Hiro Ayama) is a handsome scholar accompanying his good friend Master Lin, who is on the verge of getting married. Wei’s mind wanders however, looking back and wishing his friend could have lived a more promiscuous life.
Master Lin’s bride-to-be (Leni Lan Yan) is equally uninterested in the concept of blind-marrying a complete stranger but reluctantly agrees to the union. But first, she has to sneak-a-peek to find out if she likes what she sees… Obviously, you’ve guessed it, she mistakes Wei for Lin. The two connect instantly, and Wei’s charm quickly sends his buddy reeling. And so, our story begins… or does it?

Title: Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy Director: Christopher Sun Starring: Hiro Hayama, Leni Lan, Saori Hara, Yukiko Suho, Vonnie Lui, Tony Ho A hit in its native Hong Kong, and sure to be trimmed heavily or banned outright in mainland China, “Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy” is getting a boutique release across the rest of the world, including major metropolitan areas of the United States. And why not, really? Screening in both 3-D and 2-D, the slickly produced film is a lurid, wild and weird attempt to reboot the 1990s’ “Sex and Zen” softcore franchise, in which outlandish sex and borderline gnarly-cartoonish violence were commingled. The end product lives up to...

Saori Hara, 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy Whereas sexually explicit and semi-explicit material is shunned in Hollywood for fear of incurring the Nc-17-rated wrath of the Motion Picture Association of America's censorship board, 3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy has become a Category III-rated (no one under 18 allowed) hit in Hong Kong. Inspired by Yu Li's 17th-century erotic classic The Carnal Prayer Mat, the Cantonese-language 3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy, which has been erroneously described as a "porn film," features both nudity and sex scenes of various types and number of participants. According to one reviewer, however, not much is actually shown on screen. But moviegoers don't seem to care. On its first day out, Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy took in a reported Hk$2.8m (Us$360k), outperforming James Cameron's Avatar, which collected Hk$2.6m. In its first week, Extreme Ecstasy has grossed $2.1m.

Producers of groundbreaking adult movie Sex and Zen 3D: Extreme Ecstasy planning follow-up with new cast
They say sex sells, and it now seems that sex in stereoscope is at least twice as marketable. A Chinese film billed as the world's first 3D porn movie may get a sequel after opening to enthusiastic audiences in Hong Kong.
Sex and Zen 3D: Extreme Ecstasy packed cinemas across Hong Kong yesterday as curious filmgoers flocked to see the highly hyped movie for themselves. The film, set at the raunchy court of Ming-dynasty ancient China, is a sequel to an earlier Chinese movie, 1991's Sex and Zen, which remains Hong Kong's highest-grossing adult film.
"It depends on the box office of 3D Sex and Zen, but we're hoping the sequel will start production as soon as the end of 2011 with an all-new cast," producer Stephen Shiu Jr told the Hollywood Reporter. He said...

Film buffs flocked to Hong Kong's Causeway Bay cinema, April 14, 2011, for the screening of what is being marketed as the very first 3D 'adult' feature film.
Based on a piece of classical Chinese erotic literature, the $3.2-million Cantonese-language movie "3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy", directed by Christopher Suen Laap Gei, starring actresses Yukiko Suo and Saori Hara, screened to an audience of mainly women office workers, retirees and students, who formed long lines outside the cinemas in the southern Chinese city.
The 113-minute feature, released in IMAX as well as 3D, has been rated 'Category III' in Hong Kong, which restricts anyone under 18 from entering the theatre.
Set during the Ming dynasty, "3D Sex and Zen" follows a young man introduced to the erotic world of an aristocrat, only to realize afterwards that his ex-wife is the love of his life.

Funny, but gross.Hong Kong's Newport Circuit cinemas are reportedly giving away packs of tissues to patrons purchasing tickets for Christopher Sun's 3D Sex And Zen: Extreme Ecstasy. The latest installment of Hong Kong's Sex And Zen series of softcore exploitation films - and the first to be shot in 3D - is a surprisingly fun little picture, one that balances loads of skin - Japanese Av starlets Saori Hara and Yukiko Suho join Hong Kong's Vonnie Lu in that regard - with slapstick comedy and action. Producers have clearly been having a blast marketing this one and this is just the latest example.For an example of why the tissues might be needed - though, please god, I hope they're not used in public -...

Over-the-top action flicks and cutesy Japanese girls go together like peanut butter and jelly, which may explain why so many filmmakers are jumping on the bandwagon as of late. Below you’ll find the first batch of pics from the upcoming live-action adaptation of “The Citizen Police 69″, Kimio Yanagisawa’s manga about a salaryman who moonlights as a secret corporate agent. The feature stars Toshiya Sakai, pop idol Akari Hayami, and adult actress Saori Hara, the latter of whom will probably add a bit of sexuality to the project. Ain’t nothing wrong with that, right? I didn’t think so. Here are the specifics, courtesy of TokyoGraph: Yanagisawa is best known for writing the manga “Tokumei Kakarichou Tadano Hitoshi” about a salaryman who also serves as a secret corporate agent carrying out special missions. “Shimin Police 69,” which was serialized from 2001 to 2006, has a similar concept. The protagonist (played by...

A reworking of 1991 Hong Kong cult sensation Sex And Zen, the upcoming 3D Sex And Zen: Extreme Ecstasy is being widely billed as the world's first 3D sex film. It's not true, of course - I doubt it's even true of the new generation of 3D technology - but since when did facts get in the way of a good story?
Original producer Stephen Siu is behind this new version with Japanese Av starlets Saori Hara and Yukiko Suho featuring prominently. The original trailer for the film showcased surprisingly high production values and a playful sense of comedy, the film feeling far more like a 1970's style Japanese effort than a cheap video cash in, but those wanting the *ahem* full experience may have been left wanting as all the naughty bits were blurred out.
Well, no more. A fully uncensored version of the trailer has arrived and can be found below.

Billed as the world's first 3D sex picture - it's not, just trust me on that - Hong Kong director Stephen Siu has "revisited" his 1991 film Sex And Zen with all of the wonders of modern technology to create 3D Sex And Zen: Extreme Ecstasy with Japanese Av girls Saori Hara and Reiko Suho starring. The 3D will ensure that when those bodices pop open, you know, they'll pop right open.
Hong Kong actually has a limited - and often very peculiar - history with this sort of film and it seems clear from the trailer that Siu is intending a very deliberate throwback to Hong Kong's Cat III heyday while also showing off an obvious sense of humor that could actually give this a life beyond being a simple T&A fest. If nothing else the visual gag with the Cat III logo on the poster is good for a giggle.

You gotta be careful where you put that thing, you know. This is the underlying message of upcoming Japanese pinku splatter film Horny House of Horror. 'Cause if you expose it here, you just might lose it.
For those unfamiliar, pinku is essentially a category of Japanese soft porn where film makers are left remarkable amounts of freedom provided the provide the requisite quantities of t&a. Pinku often shifts out into unexpected because of that freedom and this one brings in cult effects man Yoshihiro Nishimura (Tokyo Gore Police) and a cast of Av starlets - Asami, Mint Suzuki and Saori Hara - for a blood splattered horror comedy. Check the new images below!

Hong Kong producer Stephen Siu has announced the start of his Us.2 Million 3-D adult film "3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy," Set to be released in May 2011, the film stars Japanese adult actresses Yukiko Suo and Saori Hara.
Though expecting censorship from Mainland China, a key market for Hong Kong filmmakers, Siu reports that interest from U.S., European and other Asian markets have been generated, particularly some pay TV Hong Kong channels.
Its future of being distributed on DVD or Blu-Ray is not as clear, however, with the present policy of the Blu-Ray disc association of shunning pornographic content.

Here’s the trailer for Kota Yoshida‘s Yuriko no Aroma, which is being described as an “ero-morous comedy”.
Yoshida’s debut film, “Onee-chan, Otouto to Iku” received the Special Jury Prize at the 2008 Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival. Unfortunately, he suffered a stroke and collapsed right before the ceremony. This film marks his comeback to directing.
Plot: As an aromatherapist, 30-year-old Yuriko (Noriko Eguchi) uses various scents and her skilled hands to heal people of their fatigue. However, she holds a secret which she can’t reveal to anyone: she can’t help but get sexually excited whenever she smells the sweat of 17-year-old Tetsuya (Shota Sometani). To make matters worse, Tetsuya is the nephew of the aroma salon’s owner (Jun Miho). Meanwhile, a client named Ayame (Saori Hara) claims to want to learn about aromatherapy, but instead uses the lesson as an opportunity to press her large breasts up against Yuriko.
