Directed by Derek Yee Tung-Sing and Law Chi Leung; this film is about an unsuccessful film-director Kwok-Wing (Played by Leslie Cheung) and his producer Chung (Played by Law Kar-Ying), who agrees to make Category III Sex/Porn movies for their financial stability. Their movie projects are financed by the local triad film boss Pui (Played by Paul Chun). Beautiful Shu Qi and Tsui Kam-King played the roles of the leading actresses in the movie. In the end Wing finally decides not to kill his artistic talent by making a flesh-oriented porn movie.
The movie though rated III for sexual and adult contents, is considered as a Hong-Kong masterpiece. The movie is praised by the critics and audience alike.
