I have not seen the first one, actually my first of those movies was the I think fourth part in the series (in 3D) ... which was mad fun. You can not be sensitive or easily offended of course, but the title should have been an indication of that already. Just saying - but back to my summary line: no pun intended as you can hopefully understand.

And while you should know what to expect (not so much Zen, a lot of Sex though), there are scenes or at least one, that is quite cringe. It is one thing to talk about stuff (that are quite discriminating) and another showing them. For our ruler here, no does not mean no - so you can guess where this is heading. Actually the movie is telling is from the start - and I think does reference the first movie (there was something outrageous in the first one if I am not mistaken and it gets referenced here) ... whatever the case, we are being informed that some men, do not care about rights and view women as objects.

According to imdb, Shu Qi (multiple ways to write her name) had another movie under her belt before this ... but this was her breakthrough ... and she bared it all (sorry, but it was too easy - like her character ... although not really of course). This goes from ridiculous to horrific in an instance. While also delivering some "hot" moments. And while these moments are never explicit, they do seem to use ... items to make it look (and feel?) real. Best example is the oral pleasure scene at (under) the table ... sneaky and fun ... or boring maybe for some. But the woman clearly has something in her mouth - and I am quite certain it is not something that is attached to the male individual - I am trying to put it as mildly as I can ... which is hard, to circle back to my first pun.

This mixes a lot of things - be it movie tropes and genres and the characters and the story itself. Again no clue what the first movie did, but it is not like you have the same characters here. This is a new story. Accept it for what it is - lay back and let it .. well ride you! It's not that hard (well ... come on, you know I had to)

Sex and Zen II is a bewildering mix of comedy and horror which works very well.

Some of the scenes can be classified as soft-core porn with several actresses shedding their clothes at decent intervals.

The main dude has a voracious sexual appetite and spreads his seed with numerous concubines. He also has a beautiful daughter who he provides a chastity suit of armour to preserve her virginity.

A myserious woman enters the picture and is wed to the main dude's slow witted son. The boy is clueless and so dear old dad takes care of business with the not so blushing bride. The actress, Shu Qi is quite stunning, both with and without clothes.

The film has some colorful sets and I was highly entertained.

not being very familiar with cat 3 films, I had originally expected to dislike this film as the first had been quite corny.

however, I did enjoy this film as although it is a cat 3 film it also had a decent plot line, good costumes and less out of nowhere nudity then the first.

the plot resembles some what of the Butterfly Lovers as Yau (Lee) cross dresses to go to school and makes a friend who I believe by the end she marries. Besides that there is nothing else similar between them.

Shu Qi is stunning as the temptress and Lee is cute and young looking although she is 29 by the time this film was made.

This seems to be the film to promote Shu Qi as she is given much attention to her 'hotness', having many nude scene's. Her voice was dubbed and her acting seemed fake, it may have been apart of the script or just bad acting.

Lee didn't flare much better as she was ill at ease with herself in the film and seemed a bit guarded whenever she had a nudity scene. The rest she was quite convincing as the young cute daughter.

all in all, not the best you can get but a definite try for anyone into the genre.
