One of the classiest soft-core sex comedies around, Sex and Zen is sleazy in the funniest, quirkiest ways. Lawrence Ng signed up for the role of his life as a scholar who, longing for a life of seductive abandon, has his member transplanted with that of a horse, initiating a series of hilarious “conquests” by the nebbish scholar. Elvis Tsui also got a lot of parts after playing the well-endowed silkmaker who becomes cuckolded by the scholar, and Amy Yip, already a dubious sort of movie star in her own right, did one of two truly nude scenes in her career.
This is trash, no question there. But as trash goes, it’s very sophisticated, fun trash, with a lot of campy segments with silly special effects.
