"3D Sex And Zen: Extreme Ecstasy"
Singapore gets 18 mins less "Sex"
News From Yahoo News
29 Mar - "3D Sex And Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" executive producer Stephen Shiu Jr. said Singapore's intended 28 April release is a heavily self-censored version with more than 18 minutes of the completed film cut, according to The Hollywood Reporter at Hong Kong International Film & TV Market (FILMART) earlier last week.
The same source reported that in a move to oblige the demand by Singaporean distributor Golden Village Pictures so as to follow the strict censorship and conservative culture of the island nation, executive producer Shiu and director Christopher Sun Lap Key have omitted scenes of group sex, oral sex, sadomasochism and those linking religion and sex to assemble a tamer, 110-minute version for the audience aged 21 or above in the territory.
"We have to trim the major parts of a scene of a female character seducing a monk," said Shiu, adding "no physical contact is allowed between a woman and a person in a religious order. We're told that any portrayal of religion and portrayal of sex must be separate." In a gimmicky launch gambit at the same event in Hong Kong, the cast and filmmakers took turns planting paper flags on a cardboard map depicting the territories in which the period sex romp has secured distribution.
Rights to the 3D erotica has reportedly been sold to Singapore, India, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, France, Peru and Russia, with China notably not on the list as the producers have ruled out the possibility of wide release in the strict republic.
Already there are reports that quick-witted Chinese tour agents are organising packages for screenings in Taiwan, just for Mainlanders to catch the show in cinemas.
