Chor and Shaw Bros dabbling in erotica territory, it's something different alright. That's also the biggest selling point of this film, the fact that it isn't just another interchangeable Shaw Bros production. It's not a terrible film beyond that, but it's also not a big standout production. Chor was definitely the right man for the job though, I can't imagine what any of the other Shaw Bros regulars would've done with it.
Ainu is the daughter of a poor teacher. One day she gets noticed by Lady Chun, a madam who runs a local bordello. She kidnaps Ainu and trains her to work in her establishment. Ainu isn't planning on just letting this happen and with a young servant she tries to escape. Her attempt fails, and Ainu gets severely punished. She is fed up with it and wants revenge.
Chor usually has the technical aspects down, this film is no exception. The sets and camerawork are a step up from the usual Shaw Bros productions, the performances are pretty decent too. The fights are a little lacking though and the film isn't all that sexy either, but that was to be expected. A fun diversion for hardened Shaw Bros fans.
