Stephen Shiu, the producer behind the steamy 2011 blockbuster 3D Sex and Zen, told the Daily Chilli newspaper that he intends on using a vibrating seat technology in Hong Kong theaters for the film’s sequel, 4D Sex and Zen: Slayer of a Thousand from the Mysterious East. The first film beat out The Hangover, Part II when it came out in June with an opening day take of HK$2.79 million ($360,000), taking the island’s box office record from Avatar.

4D Sex and Zen will actually be the third film in the series; the first, of which the 3D version was a remake, came out in 1991.
