Forbidden Legend of Sex and Chopsticks

This amusing soft-core flick is apparently based on an ancient Chinese work of literature about a libertine seducing women and climbing the social hierarchy, without morality or responsibility to act as hindrances.

Fear not, though: for those looking for sex and nudity - and why else would you be interested - "Sex & Chopsticks" delivers. I was surprised to find it has any literary basis at all: it's hard to imagine the screenplay this was made from, let alone a classic story. The main character, apparently an arch anti-hero in the original, here just wants to get laid, and after you see the lengths his father, a "sexologist", goes toward making him ready - including training him to do penis push ups! - you can hardly begrudge him that.

The movie doesn't really have a story, it's just our (anti?)hero going from one beautiful woman to the next, all of whom end up naked. The title is presumably an attempt to link this movie to the '90s HK blockbuster, "Sex and Zen", but it's not as madcap or as memorable as that one was.
