(aka "Liu jai yim taam" or "Erotic Ghost Story")
Directed by Ngai Choi Lam
Hong Kong 1990
From the director of the legendarily bonkers
The Story of Ricky
comes an altogether more lubricious slice of adults-only action, one that more
than lives up to its title. *** A Chinese Ghost Story gets a naughty twist in the 1990 Hong Kong period fantasy Erotic Ghost Story! Directed by Lam Nai Choi (Story of Ricky), the erotic Category III classic stars screen siren Amy Yip as a fox spirit who meets and saves a hapless scholar (Sin Lap Man). She falls for him, and so do her sisters (played by Man So and Kudo Hitomi). The three fox sisters indulge in a triangle of love and lust with the scholar, only to gradually realize that their lover may not be what he seems. |

On their
Blu-ray,
88 Films offer linear PCM dual-mono tracks (16-bit) in both the the
original Cantonese or an English language DUB (by default.) Erotic Ghost Story
has physical conflicts although not on the scale of a
wushu martial arts films. There are a few supernatural effects that come
through modestly effective via the soundstage. The score is credited to Fei-Lit
Chan (The
Prodigal Son), sounding a bit hollow but dialogue - even in the
DUB is clean in the lossless transfer. 88 Films offer optional English
(translated - very different from the DUB) subtitles on
their Region 'B'-locked
Blu-ray.

Ngai Choi Lam's Erotic Ghost Story
is right in the mold of Sex
and Zen,
Robotrix
(both with Miss Yip)
or restrictive Category III rated efforts. It has prodigious use of the
'Yip Tease', with discrete camera angles, and careful editing so that
Amy Yip's nipples were never (contractually) visible - although side
shots of her breasts and brief buttocks are present. I was, admittedly,
surprised at the full frontal nudity of Erotic Ghost Story
showing the other two spirit foxes and the Japanese actress Kiyoko
Kamimura (playing the woman washing clothes and seduced by the demon.) The film
has themes of classical Chinese 'Liaozhai'; scary stories with
romance and there are supernatural fantasy elements in Erotic Ghost Story.
While, yeah, it has a lot of boobs and more - but the film shifts to a horror
in the final 1/4. I enjoyed the earnest performances. Amy Yip fans don't
require my endorsement. She was nicknamed 'boba' ("champion of
breasts") which was also adopted as the term for tapioca pearls in
Taiwanese bubble tea circa 1980s - as well as a large-sized steamed bun
named "Amy Yip Big Pau". There is a book about Amy
Yip's life by Chaz Gower, HERE. The 88 Films Blu-ray
