Snow Plum Blossom 1976
Kitty Meng Chui is a masked agent assigned to retrieve a statue stolen from a monastery.
The bulk of the film is set inside an inn full of shady individuals who all want to get their hands on the statue. A talky, slow-ish build up makes way for a better second half with everyone at the inn up against each other. Master kicker Hwang In-shik stars as the main villain.Translated from by -
Son Adam 1983

Solid Turkish revenge film which racks up extra points for a scene where a main character, chained and held captive, chops his own arm off and buries the machete into his captor’s face..!

Devil of Rape 1992
For reasons unclear to me (my uncut World Video VHS is in Cantonese only with no English subs) Charlie Cho manages to become possessed by an evil spirit that turns him into a horny, sex-hungry pervert...
I can think of two reasons why someone would seek out Devil of Rape.
1) For the lovely Pauline Chan who is top billed and on the front cover 2) Someone is a CATIII completist.
Unfortunately, what you get instead is a sweaty Charlie…Translated from by
