Nearly a year has passed since Spectacle delved into the moistest depths of Hong Kong cinema to deliver over twelve hours of seldom screened unpleasantries unified under the Category III banner. Introduced into the Hong Kong ratings system after 1988 as the rough equivalent of the American “X,” the Category III rating connotes not only general unsavoriness in terms of content but also a loose sensibility unique to the region’s exploitation cinema – the tendency to meld mangled genre tropes in service of upending familiar narrative expectations, casting aside three-act logic for a rhythm of whiplash tonal shifts punctuated by high (or low) points of uninhibited gratuitousness. This December, Spectacle is proud to subject audiences once more to a grueling run of Hong Kong rarities largely consigned to the realm of third-generation VHS dubs, running the gambit from goop-soaked exorcisms to high-spirited tributes to sociopathy in all its forms.
