British distributors 88 Films have detailed three upcoming Blu-ray releases: Erotic Ghost Story (1990), Forbidden City Cop (1996), and So Sweet... So Perverse (1969). The three releases will be available for purchase this June.
Erotic Ghost Story
Description: 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.
Three vixens have meditated for 1,000 years to able to shed their animal natures and become human. For the final month of their rigors, they have moved near a village where women pray to a god of fertility. One sister visits the god's temple and thinks lustful thoughts. As she leaves, a priest confronts her, warning of dire consequences and of demons that will try to stop the vixens' transformation. Soon, the youngest sister saves a poor scholar from bandits and becomes enamored of him. Each sister visits him, and before long, the youth has made love to all three. After they invite him to stay with them, the playfulness takes a scary turn. Where can they turn for help?
Branded with Hong Kong's infamous Category III rating for its commitment to carnality and starring amply endowed icon of Sino sex cinema Amy Yip (Sex and Zen), the supernatural studs at 88 Films are proud to present the UK Blu-ray premiere of this soft-core classic – completely uncut.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Forbidden City Cop
Description: Synopsis: Once upon a time in China, the Emperor had a secret team of four special agents named "The King's Guardian." Three of them were strong, powerful men with extraordinary martial art skill, which left "Fat" who knew nothing about fighting but was an obsessed inventor of gadgets. With a brilliant mind, but no fighting skill, Fat was the most neglected of the team and was disguised as a doctor awaiting orders from the Emperor. In a ploy to invade China, the "Kum" Dynasty successfully entrapped and tried to kill all the top practitioners of medicine in Chinese. The Emperor also attended the meeting. Fat smelled trouble and went along secretly to protect the Emperor. Although the Emperor returned safe, greater crises were still to come upon Fat's family and even the whole kingdom...
