Category III

[Alex K.]

That's why I pointed out it's a CAT II. It's still sleazy, disturbing and has Anthony Wong so it needs to be watched.

1:

Man Behind the Sun/Black Sun: the Nanking Massacre (Tie)
The Rape After
The Untold Story
The Story of Ricki
Run and Kill
Red to Kill
Fatal Vacation
Dumplings
Dream Home
Lost Souls

Honorable mentions: Ebola Syndrome, 3 Days of a Blind Girl (CAT II but close enough and it has Anthony Wong), The Eternal Evil of Asia, Escape from Brothel, A Day Without Policemen, There is a Secret in my Soup/Human Pork Chop, Daughter of Darkness, The Seventh Curse, The Black Cat, Her Vengeance, Gong Tau.

2: As far as Blu is concerned there isn't much. Story of Ricki, Man Behind the Sun is being released by Massacre Video, Uneathed is doing Untold Story. There might be one of Dream Home.

I wiouldn't count 3 Days of a Blind Girl as it is a Cat IIA (ie the lower end of Cat II rating)

[Alex K.]

The Rape After is a Cat II film.

Network released Dream Home on BD in the UK. There are quite a few Cat III films on BD in HK.

It would EASILY get a CAT III now.

[fatboyslim142]

I figure mine would be:

Her Vengeance (1988)
Robotrix (1991)
Dr. Lamb (1992)
The Untold Story (1992)
Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky (1992)
Daughter Of Darkness (1993)
Chinese Torture Chamber Story (1994)
Naked Killer (1994)
Taxi Hunter (1995)
Ebola Syndrome (1996)

...but I haven't seen nearly enough.

Thanks for the recommendations! It sucks that more of these aren't readily available.

Taxi Hunter is a Cat II film & Anthony Wong even told the director of that Cat III documentary it was Cat II because the director kept insisting it was a Cat III film.

Pretty sure Lost Souls got a CAT III later on VCD. It's easily a CAT III now.

[Mark C.]

Of course there are also absolutely fantastic 70s and 80s films, especially by the Shaw Brothers, that were made before the Cat III rating existed but landed the rating later on video. I've omitted them assuming this thread is about the 90s or so "Cat III films".

Yes, stuff like LOST SOULS is very Cat IIIish, HOUSE OF BAMBOO DOLLS etc.. Worth checking out.

[Mark C.]

in no particular order:
Untold Story
Devil Fetus
Diary of a Serial Killer
Robotrix
Run and Kill
Water Tank Murder Mystery
Rape in Public Sea
Men Behind the Sun
A Day Without Policemen
Eternal Evil of Asia
Ebola Syndrome

There are very few of them available on Blu-ray, Hell there are so many that are just Laserdisc or VCD, and a lot of them are not even on DVD. I own practically all of them in various formats.

[Takuma]

1. Robotrix
2. Ebola Syndrome
3. Fatal Vacation
4. Run and Kill
5. Red to Kill
6. Naked Killer
7. Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky
8. Raped by an Angel
9 The Untold Story
10 Viva Erotica

There are some more entertaining ones, like Dr. Lamb, Daughter of Darkness and Brother of Darkness that could all have been on the list. A Chinese Torture Chamber Story I don't particularly like, a very mean spirited film though it does star a veery cute girl.

Have seen precious few of these, but huge shout-out to ROBOTRIX and NAKED KILLER.

[ChicGandil]

I figure mine would be:

Her Vengeance (1988)
Robotrix (1991)
Dr. Lamb (1992)
The Untold Story (1992)
Riki-Oh: The Story Of Ricky (1992)
Daughter Of Darkness (1993)

Naked Killer (1994)
Taxi Hunter (1995)

Two questions.

What are everyone's Top 10 Category III movies and what is the best source for Category III on bluray?
