Applauded director Li Han Hsiang was one of few directors who made soft porn acceptable to mainstream audiences using the thematic device of "sex on a mission" cynicism, suggesting that sex was the ultimate power. In the sex comedy "The Scandalous Warlord", the true power behind the country's many warlords was the prostitutes that these men would routinely visit. Therefore, the power in this film lies in the hands of the sassy Shirley Yu and the titillating Shaw Yin Yin.
