Some sites have it listed as Cat 3, while others say it's not rated.
There's no notation on the listing here or on the DVD packaging.
Any one know the rating on this?
Ironically, from a paper on the TELA website pertaining to current censorship guidelines, Hong Kong people are less concerned about English language profanity and non-sexually explicit language than they are about local dialect coarse language and/or more sexually explicit dialogue/material, thereby how a film is classified in relation to those aspects of a production's content is governed by those measures.

we have an age of consent of 16, but you can't look at a pic of your naked girlfriend/boyfriend until you're 18!!!

I was just basing what I wrote on information contained in the TELA website itself:
I agree that the commentary isn't all that great. Anthony Wong isn't exactly chatty... there are stretches of several minutes where he doesn't say anything.
