Hong Kong film releases are classified into three main categories: Category I, II (which is further divided into two) and III. Category III (usually called by its abridged name Cat III) is the equivalent of something like Nc-17 in America, where people under 18 are strictly not allowed due to the depiction of nudity, sex or extreme violence. Of the many, many Cat III works released, probably the most infamous is Herman Yau’s “The Untold Story” from 1993. Despite its restrictive rating, it went on to be a hit at the box office and earned lead actor Anthony Wong a Best Actor nomination and his first win at the Hong Kong Film Awards, before going on its way to become a notorious cult classic.
