A sequel titled Shocking Asia II: The Last Taboos was released in 1985.

Content

As with most other films of similar nature (such as Faces of Death and Traces of Death), Shocking Asia does not follow a traditional narrative structure, instead neglecting plot for images and video footage of bizarre and macabre situations such as animal cruelty, strange rituals, footage of deformed children and a sex change operation.[3] Most of the clips used are claimed to be real, although this has yet to be verified.

C. Spencer Yeh’s “Shocking Asia” is a sequel which was on view at Empty Gallery, Hong Kong, in February 2018.[4]
