Highly Inspired Piece of Celluloid Filth
Rapeman1314 December 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Trilogy of Lust II is the second instalment in this in-name-only trilogy. Aside from the fact that both I and II are written, co-directed and star Cat III regular Julie Lee, they have no other similarities, plot or otherwise. The first entry in the series is a XXX piece and is co-directed by TF Mous of Men Behind the Sun fame. The third entry is better known as The Imp and has no connection to Lee at all.

As a teenager Linda Li (Lee) was raped by her uncle and his drunken buddies. Due to that traumatic event she developed a venomous hatred for men and the only way for her to exorcize it is to don leather fetish gear, seduce random men then torture and kill them in the vilest ways possible. Although she works during the day as the uptight manager of a business, when night falls Linda begins her habitual man-hating murder sprees. After dispatching the men via some highly imaginative kill scenes, Linda then takes a souvenir (e.g. finger, nose, ear) home to add to her growing collection of male body parts.

Soon Linda learns she has contracted AIDS from one of her victims and flips out, she begins walking the streets naked until she eventually arrives at her favourite SM fetish boutique where she gears up and commences on her mission with renewed fury. After a few more nasty murders and sado-torture (one unlucky dude gets lashed to the bedposts, an octopus attached to his genitals, his chest stapled multiple times with a staple gun, then force-fed more octopus until he asphyxiates) Linda discovers the police are on her trail so she decides to skip town; but before she gets the chance is cornered in the back room of a club and brutally gang-raped by four masked men who during the act cover her head with glad wrap which causes her to suffocate to death, thus ending her life / mission spreadeagled on a cum-stained mattress.

I gotta say, Trilogy of Lust II is my new favourite Cat III flick - it shamelessly overflows with bucketloads of sleaze 'n' death: be it deviant sex acts, full frontal nudity, bizarre cosplay, or the bloody lust murder, this flick more than delivers the goods! Julie Lee is brilliant as ever as Linda the man-hating SM freak, decked out in studs, chains 'n' leather, f@cking, whipping & slashing her way through her victims.

Some of the more stand-out scenes include: one of Linda's underling's breaking into her house, discovering her private dungeon then proceeding to bang himself silly with one of her massive dildos, Linda serving a bound & gagged dude up as a fully garnished meal, the aforementioned octo-murder and the final set-piece where Linda first falls naked into buckets of multi-coloured paint then is gang-raped by four dudes wearing strange condom & monster masks, which makes for a rather cinematic rape scene.

All in all TOL II is a highly inspired piece of celluloid filth that pushes the Category III rating / sub-genre to some of it's most extreme limits. A definite must-see for Cat III & sleaze fans alike.

One Of THE SLEAZIEST CATIII Films Out There...
EVOL66624 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
TRILOGY OF LUST 2 is a hell of a ride. One of the most twisted and sleazy CATIII films I've ever seen - this one has it all for sleaze-fans. Tons of sex, perversion, rape, violence - everything that you want in this type of thing...

A lady lives a double-life as an office-manager by day, and a freaky sex-queen by nite. Due to abuse at the hands of her Uncle as a young girl - she takes out her anger by dressing up in bondage gear and approaching guys at bars for sexual-liaisons. Only down-side, is that these flings end in torture and death for the guys involved. There's a side-story where a couple that work at the same office have a scheme to get money out of the woman by using the male worker to seduce her - but this backfires too. When boss-lady finds out that one of her victims had HIV, she really goes off the deep-end...

Lots of sleazy goodness in this one: tons of full-frontal nudity and pretty hot soft-core sex, some good torture on display - including some strange squid torture and staple-gun play, some cigarette-burn action, and a truly odd scene where the male co-worker finds a bunch of sex-toys in the boss-lady's house and dildo's himself in the ass til he spunks on her wall...strange stuff. Definitely amongst the weirder and trashier CATIII entries out there, and definitely recommended for fans of the genre...9/10

Grosser than part one!
DJ Inferno31 July 2002
The second part of the "Trilogy of Lust"-series tells the story about a woman who suffers from a childhood trauma when she was brutally raped by her uncle and his stinky booze companions. Now as an adult she leads two different lives: during the day she´s the upright manager of a firm, but at night she goes on murderous sprees, dressed in sexy rubber and latex costumes, to have sex with unsuspecting men. After the sexual intercourse she kills them violently and collects body parts like ears or noses as her trophies...

In contrast to the first part "Portrait of a Sex Killer" is no hardcore porn, but it has a much better developed story and also some really nasty killing scenes: one guy is tortured to death with the help of a nailgun, another has to serve as a human buffet... and also the two gang bang rapes this movie features are pretty disturbing! Julie Riva ("Bunman - The Untold Story") does a great job as ice cold revenging angel, next to Camille Keaton from "I Spit on your Grave" she´s probably the most frightening angry maltreaten woman ever in a film! So if you are into 1990s Asian cinema and you can also stand some explicit sex, torture and obscure killings then check this out!

The sleaziest Cat III flick I have ever seen.
HumanoidOfFlesh5 October 2006
Julie Lee plays a sex starved woman named Linda,who kills horny men during wild sex.You see,the woman is crazed because of her abusive childhood,when she was raped by her drunken uncle and his friends.When she contracts HIV from one of her victims,her world falls apart.The first part of "Trilogy of Lust" series was originally shot as hard core porno,the second installment is strictly soft core,but it surely offers tons of sleaze and kinky sex.The sex scenes are surprisingly perverse and the film also features two rape scenes,footage from which is often inter-cut with the consensual sex sequences.A few scenes of torture and murder are suitably shocking."Trilogy of Lust II" is a pure cinematic filth,thus worth checking out for fans of outrageously sleazy Asian exploitation.

Careful with that truncheon, Robert.
BA_Harrison31 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
At work, boss Linda (Julie Lee) is cruel to her staff, particularly to poor Lily (Gwan Chin). Looking to get even, Lily convinces her boyfriend Robert (Kei-Yung Ho) to try and woo Linda, but neither of them are aware that, in her spare time, their boss is an S&M psycho killer who picks up strangers for sex, killing them afterwards, taking a body part as a trophy.

Believe it or not, there was a time, way back in the '90s, when guys with mullets actually got laid; Linda's first victim sports a fine example of the hairstyle that taste forgot (although I keep hearing murmers about it coming back in style). Her second victim, Philip (played by star of many a Cat III movie, Elvis Tsui), wears a natty head scarf, which is almost as unattractive as a mullet; after wild sex, incorporating a bungee pulley device, Linda kills him by dropping him onto a metal candlestick.

At home, Linda likes to retire to her special room for a spot of self-gratification, rubbing one-out, handcuffing her ankles (or is that 'anklecuffing her ankles'?) and using a hairbrush between her legs (and I don't mean to brush her hair).

Her next victim wears a silver jacket and PVC trousers - further proof that she's not picky about her men (or maybe she's just ridding the world of fashion crimes). They go to a motel, the man using a thermometer shaped dildo on the woman, before having sex with her. She ties him up, and, in one of the film's many strange eye-openers, drops an octopus on his crotch, places clamps on his nipples, uses a staple gun on him, and then stuffs another octopus into his mouth, suffocating him. But even this isn't the film's biggest 'WTF?' moment!

After a quick scene in which Robert gets excited by Lily to the point of cranking one out in the office, the action returns to Linda, who learns that her last victim had H. I. V. - oops! As if she wasn't crazy enough, this information really tips her over the edge. Meanwhile, Robert sneaks into Linda's apartment and finds her cupboard of S&M gear and her secret sex room. He's so turned on by his discovery that he pushes a truncheon up his butt while spanking the monkey, leaving his DNA all over Linda's wall. The film officially enters my Top 3 of sleaziest Cat III movies.

But there's plenty of crazy still to come...

Lily discovers Linda's secret and tells Robert that they should go to the police, but, still aroused by Linda's double life, Robert strangles Lily instead. Linda, marbles well and truly lost, strips naked on a bus, pops into a local sex shop where she buys a new outfit (presumably on account), and goes to a bar to find another victim. This time it's a married man, who she blows in an alleyway, before slashing his throat and cutting off his nose (that'll teach him for making a mess of her face!).

A little later, she makes another guy wear a leather hood during sex, but before she finishes him off, it's time for a little back story. Cue flashback...

When she was younger, Linda's parents and grandparents died, leaving her in the care of an uncle. One night, the uncle invited his friends over for a little mahjong and a lot of beer, the evening ending with a spot of gang rape, Linda passed from one sweaty, drunken deviant to another. Exhausted, the men fell asleep, and Linda seized the opportunity to have a scumbag barbecue. So started her killing spree.

Flashback over, Linda finishes off the guy in the leather mask, whipping him, rubbing salt into his wounds, and cutting him with a knife, before chopping him up with a cleaver. Not ready to retire for the night, Linda goes to a party where her attempt to find another victim backfires: she's trapped by four guys who pull on masks (including the ever popular giant condom mask!) and beat her until she passes out. To wake her up, they urinate over her and then rape her. Having had their fun, they saran wrap her head, suffocating her.

It's the end of the S&M psycho - or is it? In a bizarre final scene, Robert (or at least I think it was him) enters a bar dressed in wig, make-up, ear-rings and bondage gear, only to be arrested by the police. It's a suitably weird ending to a film that had my jaw on the floor throughout.

9/10. Highly recommended to those weirdos out there who find sexual deviancy and graphic violence entertaining.
