Following up on his acclaimed work
Full Throttle, Derek Yee Tung-sing made the unusual move of not
only collaborating with movie industry unknown Law Chi-leung, but
also to make category III sex comedy. After a string of commercial
flops, art house director Sing (Leslie Cheung) resorts to making
a softcore film called Viva Erotica in order to pay the bills. His
gangster producer, Chung (Law Kar-ying), insists that Sing cast
his beautiful, though talentless, girlfriend Mango (Shu Qi) in the
lead role. As Sing wrestles with his desire to make this film something
more than a cheap porn flick, he also wrestles with his desire for
Miss Mango. Meanwhile, Sing's girlfriend, May (Karen Mok), is having
a fit over her boyfriend's new project and his sudden lack of passion
at home.
