Mei climbs up the scaffolding and says: “Great Teacher! I have come for your guidance!”
Afterwards, the two are seen much earlier at the table drinking together. The old master explains that the tea was made with leaves from the mountains and that Mei was a weasel in his previous life. Mei replies that he doesn't think much of such anecdotes.

Mei and the master continue their conversation. He now lists various occasions on which Mei, according to his beliefs, is not allowed to engage in sexual intercourse. Mei soberly notes that this leaves only 10 days a year.

+ 56.6 sec




12:03 / 07:17-07:19

Conversely, the first instance of censorship in the Mandarin version: At the end of the shot, Mei stands in front of the mirror and briefly rubs his genitals, trying to get himself in the mood.

2 sec




12:06 / 07:22-07:25

After the reaction shot to the girls watching, you can see him again.

+ 30.4 sec




Alternative/ Additional material in the alternative version
14:51-15:21 / 09:46-09:52

The Mandarin cut shows another page in the book and Mei explains that couples would not do this during the day unless one of them was ugly.

In the original version, the shot immediately cuts to Huk-Yeung and Mei, then briefly to the page in the book.

Alternative version 24.3 sec longer

Mandarin cutOriginal version




Additional material in the alternative version

16:38 / 10:52-11:27

The scene is cut off before it gets interesting. The two proceed to have sex, which can then be seen outside on a kind of swing.

+ 32.5 sec




20:25 / 14:42-14:45

The book page is opened a little longer and a few explicit details are visible on another page.

3.3 sec




21:30 / 15:50-16:05

The end of the shot is removed rather abruptly with a jump cut: The camera actually pans down a little and oral sex is implied. The cousin then bites her thigh a little.

15.6 sec




21:31 / 16:07-16:27

The next shot is also longer and first the top is pulled down, then (also only implied) the flute is rammed into the anus.

20.1 sec




21:33 / 16:29-18:28

The scene is also significantly longer: The two continue to moan in ecstasy, the flute is used as a phallus substitute, breasts are rubbed together and ridden wildly in scissor positions. The flute then serves as a link between the two buttocks.

Additional material in the alternate version

Before Mei sits down next to Chor (Lo Lieh), the shot in the Mandarin version begins a little earlier and offers him money to join him.

+ 17.2 sec




Additional material in the alternative version
22:36-23:14 / 19:14

The dialogue in the same shot is also significantly longer. Chor warns him that he will destroy many people's lives. Mei reminds him that he said before that one must always think of oneself first. Chor would steal money, he steals hearts, so it's actually comparable.

There is more detailed discussion of the drawing.

The shot in which he pours water over his head is interrupted by further explicit shots.

16.3 sec




27:36 / 23:58-24:35

Wong's wife is pulled aside for a longer period of time and is thus seen completely naked. Wong begins to rape her. Her breasts rub against the table and the act is staged in a rather acrobatic manner.

37.4 sec




27:38 / 24:37-26:05

After a brief moment of changing positions, this shot is actually much longer, and in further shots, the two roll around on the floor. There is some more cowgirl position, and Wong throws his chain at the ceiling. The act now continues with them swinging around on this chain until both reach orgasm. He then leaves immediately.

87.6 sec (= 1:28 min)




28:54 / 27:21-27:29

This shot of her butt is significantly longer and at the end you can briefly see her pubic area. In the side shot, you can still see her moving the brush around her genital area.

In contrast, the alternative version has a different shot of her, in which she moans lustfully, followed by a harmless part of the shot of her butt.

In the alternate version, she strokes her face and breasts with the brush. In the original version, Huk-Yeung briefly touches her ear with the brush from a different perspective, and then you see (implied) how it is stuck in her vagina and she draws something with it.

Alternate version 9.6 sec longer

Mandarin CutOriginal version




31:07 / 29:22-29:24

The shot with the brush is a little longer at the end: Since her thighs are flashing across the screen here, it is easier to see that she has the brush in her vagina.

2.1 sec




Alternative / Additional material in the alternative version
31:17-31:22 / 29:34-29:49

Actually, there is a cut to a close-up of the (double) breasts squeezing against the wooden pole. Instead, the shot of Huk-Yeung in the alternate version runs through, making the middle section a little longer.

At the end of the scene, there is an alternative take and the dialogue continues much longer in the Mandarin Cut. Mei is not allowed to have sex for 100 days after the operation, otherwise he may not be able to get an erection again. In addition, he has only tested the method on animals with a 30% success rate and cannot guarantee that it will work on humans.

Alternative version 33 sec longer

4.1 sec




Alternative / Additional material in the alternative version
49:04-49:23 / 47:02-47:04

Mei rises in the Mandarin cut in the same shot and talks about the importance of proper clothing.

54:54-58:01 / 50:51-50:57

Mei sneaks inside in Mandarin Cut and thinks he is talking to Wong's wife, but Ryoko is waiting in the dark instead. She covers her face and makes Mei mate with her. This makes Wong's wife jealous and she storms in. Chor also suddenly jumps inside and carries Ryoko away. Mei and Wong's wife look on in confusion.


In the original version, there is a different shot of Ryoko at the window instead.
