It was predated by the earlier anthology Three; the film's international release came after this one and was thus called 3 Extremes II. The actress wants more dramatic results, faster.

After getting off, Kate collapses on the pavement, bleeding from her uterus. I don't think the film's science is sound (I sincerely hope not) but the motivation is unassailable: There are some people who will do anything to prolong their youth and beauty. He's not afraid to shy away from what some might consider unusual or risque content and he seems to have a handle on pacing and style.

Three...Extremes is an anthology of three horror films by three respected Asian directors. Mei, on the other end, ends up selling dumplings on the streets in Shenzhen. Setting: 5 Summary: Dumplings is the first short from the horror anthology Three…Extremes, which was later expanded into a feature-length film of the same title. Three... Extremes (Chinese: 三更2; pinyin: Sāngēng 2; Korean: 쓰리, 몬스터; RR: Sseuli, Monseuteo; Japanese: 美しい夜、残酷な朝; Utsukushī Yoru, Zankokuna Asa) is a 2004 anthology horror film consisting of three individual segments from different East Asian countries, following the concept of its predecessor, Three (2002). A reveal will only really work if the film commits to it, and lots of obvious foreshadowing really dampens a reveal’s purpose. A large part of the film's success lays with the performances. These dumplings, made exclusively by Mei, have a special ingredient that somehow manages to reverse the aging process in women and restore their youthful vitality. When she joins them, they claim there is a horrid fish-like smell in the air, which turns out to be from Mrs Li herself. ( Log Out / There are two directors that I currently find to be very interesting, and I will watch anything they produce. Its three segments, Dumplings, Cut, and Box, were directed by Hong Kong director Fruit Chan, South Korean director Park Chan-wook, and Japanese director Takashi Miike, respectively. Here is not a joker in a Halloween mask, scaring screaming teenagers, but adults whose needs and weaknesses turn on them with savage, relentless logic. Back when she was 10 years old, Kyoko worked in a circus with her twin sister, Shoko, and their benefactor, Higata. The captor, on the other hand, is poor, ugly, a failure, and not a good man. In Fruit Chan's Curious at what his wife is yelling about, Mr Li gets on the other line and overhears the conversation between her and Mei about what happened, and pays the latter a visit to find out if her special dumplings really work. Dumplings (Chinese: 餃子; pinyin: Jiǎozi; Jyutping: Gaau2zi2) is a 2004 Hong Kong horror film, directed by Fruit Chan.

Chan firstly lives up the the theme of memories that has been running through Three even since its conception.
"Three... Extremes" collects directors from Hong Kong, Korea and Japan to make horror films, each about 40 minutes long.
A few of the more aggressive moments in the film make excellent use of the surround channels and the quieter moments use them to fill in the background with some atmospheric ambient noise and with the film's musical score.

She plays the part with just enough 'knowing' that her character is sinister enough and smart enough for the ending of the film to really work. Wow. Presumably a mistress of Mr Li at this point in time, Mei ignores Mrs Li's plea and tears her cheque into pieces. It was expanded from a short segment in the horror compilation, Three... Extremes.
