Overview
Dr. Elson Po is one of the world’s most famous wine growers and has a magic potion which has kept him handsome and alive for centuries. However, the magic which rejuvenates him seems to become less and less effective. As a side project, he makes movies and invites a group of young, aspiring actors to his island for a party, believing that the young, beautiful actress, Jezebel, can be his new source of life.

Viewing Notes
While no one will ever say this is a good movie I rather appreciated that James Hong wrote and directed his own story of weird Chinese mysticism. And made a somewhat lascivious and trashy B-movie in the process that is highly entertaining simply because he’s the main character and villain. Looks like he’s having a ball here and why not? He cast a bunch of attractive women and most in skimpy outfits to be prisoners in his dungeon. Silly film but enjoyable.
