Cat III films are still being made, but with economic decline the majority of them are being shot on Digital Video these days, and hence even lower budget and probably quality. Do a search on Sophie Ngan for a guide to recent titles, as she seems to be in most of them :p I don't generally watch them, but I gather they're mostly pretty tame these days...<br><br>

Yes, there was certainly a time when Cat III meant "license to do whatever crazy s**t you can think of" - Eternal Evil Of Asia is probably my favourite example. These days they seem to be nothing more than tame skin flicks.<br><br>Have you seen Chor Yuen's Intimate Confessions Of A Chinese Courtesan? Not a recent film by any standards (1972 in fact), but a great example of quality exploitation.<br><br>
