Category III films

Category III films are a classification of movies in Hong Kong that contain explicit content, including graphic violence, strong sexual themes, or adult situations, and are intended for adult audiences only. Introduced in 1988, this category serves to alert viewers that the film may not be suitable for anyone under 18. While these films often push the boundaries of content, they can also explore complex themes and societal issues. Notable examples of Category III films include "The Untold Story" and "Sex and Zen," which have gained a cult following despite their controversial nature.
