	Annabel Chong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chong sought to question the double standard that denies women the ability to exhibit the same sexuality as men, by modelling what a female "stud" would be.
		In her March 2000 appearance on the radio program 'Loveline', Annabel admited that there were slightly less than 70 men in her gangbang, and that there were water and lunch breaks during the 10 hour time span.
		Sex: The Annabel Chong Story propelled Annabel further into the world media as the documentary became a hit at the 1999 Sundance film festival, where it was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize.

	Annabel Chong
		Chong's notoriety spread beyond the porn world through the documentary film Sex: The Annabel Chong Story, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 1999 and was released on the art film circuit in early 2000.
		Chong presents herself as a performance artist using the porn industry as her stage, a la Annie Sprinkle, but she ends up sounding more like a shallowly doctrinaire grad student who lets herself be ruthlessly exploited in the name of female empowerment.
		Robin Askew interviews Annabel Chong about her notorious "record-breaking" gangbang video ("Well, in actual fact if you watch the four-hour gang bang tape itself, you will realise that a lot of the things were fudged in editing to make it look as though more sex took place.

	Sex: The Annabel Chong story - Grace Quek, Gough Lewis - CIA
		On 19 January 1995, Annabel Chong, a 22-year-old undergraduate in gender studies, embarked on a marathon crusade to secure fame, notoriety and a permanent place in the hallowed halls of fornication.
		Made with Chong's guidance and full co-operation, this is first rate filmmaking, a moving and shocking portrait of selfhood and the politics and psychology of sexuality.
		Annabel is an outrageous, untalented and shallow sex industry worker while Grace is a confused and increasingly irate Asian woman living in a white, Western man's world.

	Sex: The Annabel Chong Story
		In Gough Lewis's documentary about the event, she is presented as a woman with an insatiable appetite for a cornucopia of carnal pleasures; a woman who goes for it with vigour and enthusiasm before internal bleeding puts a stop to the marathon.
		Chong read their response as some kind of support and acts accordingly, but close-ups of the audience reveal another less digestible fact.
		Spiros Markou, the Greek writer and critic, summed up Chong's dilemma when he recently said to me "emptiness, she seems to be filled with emptiness, and therefore tries to get fulfilled through the body." While pondering his remark, an early scene from the documentary kept coming back.

		There's no denying that the life of Annabel Chong is fascinating to observe -- from her life as a feminist scholar to porn-star celebrity to nothing and back to porn-star celebrity.
		Chong lives the lifestyle of a cheap hooker, and her place is a dump.
		Chong's purportedly (*it could be B.S.) a nympho, which is a remarkable and highly unusual gift, and the film should have explored this very interesting angle, and conducted experiments and/or shown more sexual activity.

		But Chong does not seem to be at all bothered in the principles of feminism-although she claims to be one, as means of justification for her sex marathon.
		Chong is obviously a woman who has been subjected through her path of career to exploitation, and hopefully by the end watching this, you will see, she is being exploited here as well.
		Showcasing the remarkable short career of pornstar Annabel Chong; Grace Quek (her real name) is a woman of many contradictions and of strong convictions.

	Sex: The Annabel Chong Story (1999) - Channel 4 Film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		This fascinating, graphic and frequently disturbing documentary does as much to obscure the real Annabel Chong as it does to reveal her complicated motives, and that in itself is part of its grim appeal.
		Born Grace Quek to middle class Christian parents in Singapore and educated in Gender Studies at the University of Southern California, Chong is smart, articulate and describes herself as a taboo busting feminist.
		But the endless psychobabble, rictus grin and her clear discomfort with certain aspects of the porn industry suggest that whatever the real Annabel Chong story is, it's not being told here.

	99 Cent Video FLASHBACK: Sex, The Annabel Chong Story
		Chong’s sexual feat – the act that she will forever be linked with – serves as the backdrop for Gough Lewis’ first-ever film: Sex: The Annabel Chong Story.
		However, Gough’s documentary is not so much about Chong, star of such infamous titles as "I Can’t Believe I Did the Whole Team!" and "All I Want for Christmas is a Gang-Bang," as it is about Grace Quek, the University of Southern California gender studies student behind the Annabel Chong facade.
		We are shown glimpses of her convent school-girl past, introduced to several of Quek’s teachers and classmates, flown to Singapore to meet her parents (who are initially unaware of their daughter’s chosen profession), and exposed to the seedier side of the Los Angeles adult film industry.

	Sex: The Annabel Chong Story
		A true Olympic marathon, where Annabel's craving for sex is relentless and paralleled by the horny urges of the chosen candidates.
		Annabel, aware of the prejudices floating in the room is honest and blunt: why not?, she confronts the majority of the audience, who feel embarrassed simply at Annabel's openness.
		Annabel is the new feminist icon who provokes and is not ashamed of showing her body to be viewed as nothing more than an object, assurance she acquired while modelling naked in order to finance her studies.

		Grace Quek (aka Annabel Chong), a student at the University of Southern California, engages in the record-breaking feat of having sex with 251 men in 10 hours.
		Gough Lewis' documentary claims to be the story of Annabel Chong but it is also the story of Grace Quek, or rather the story of a multiple entity who is both Quek and Chong, student and sex worker, daughter and classmate, Asian and American.
		Chong explains that she did it to shake up stereotypes about women being passive sex objects.

	Review: Sex: The Annabel Chong Story
		The first is more or less what one would expect: Annabel the insatiable, Annabel the voluptuary, Annabel who appeared on Jerry Springer and cheerily explained to an audience of open-mouthed Midwestern rubes how she got fucked by 254 guys in one ten-hour stint.
		The second side of Annabel is the one that's meant to surprise us--what could be characterized as her sensitive academic side.
		Annabel wants desperately to demonstrate that there is a clear and discernible method to her madness (other than the fact that she really, really loves sex), but the fragility of her arguments is genuinely painful.

	Sex: The Annabel Chong Story
		Sex: The Annabel Chong Story works both forward and back, simultaneously tracing Chong’s entry into the world of adult films and exploring her post-gangbang notoriety, which at one point lands her in front of the Cambridge University Debating Society.
		Meanwhile, the film is busy tracing her fall from grace, as her record is broken by an up-and-coming porn star named Jasmin St. Clair and she becomes increasingly concerned that her parents, who still live in Singapore, may suspect what she does for a living.
		Lewis includes interviews with a number of industry figures, each of whom proves to be as much philosopher as pornographer, and all of whom have an opinion on Annabel Chong.

	Sex: The Annabel Chong Story - Movie Review
		The funny dilemma about Sex: The Annabel Chong Story is this: Annabel Chong (aka Grace Quek) has one of the more interesting porn star bios around.
		Annabel's story is an atypical one as porn starlet studies go.
		Lewis doesn't play up much of this, instead preferring to dwell on disease issues, an invented rivalry with Jasmin St. Clair (who broke Annabel's record with 300 men a year later), the tired issue of "her parents don't know!", and the minutiae of Annabel's twisted version of feminism.

	Annabel Chong: Pornography, erotic ads, pinups and ancient erotic art
		In the search for attention the late 1990s big trend was the so-called "gangbangs" in which an individual woman would try to have sex with as many men as possible while being recorded on video.
		One of the most famous gangbang records was set by Asian Grace Quek alias Annabel Chong, who had sex with 251 men in 10 hours in her film "Worlds Biggest Gang Bang" from 1995.
		Annabel Chong became famous the world over and four years later appeared in a serious documentary film called "The Annabel Chong Story" which dealt with her life and world record achievement.

	Movie Review - Sex: The Annabel Chong Story - eFilmCritic
		Annabel reached the score of 251 by having sex with 5 men at a time.
		There’s no definitive answer on Annabel’s real motivations although you are left with the impression that all is not well inside the mind of Annabel Chong.
		Chong tries hard, but she is still just a porn star and this film is an infomercial for her

	Film & TV: Sex: The Annabel Chong Story (Austin Chronicle . 06-05-00)
		Annabel Chong is also a shameless self-promoter, exhibitionist, shock artist, and self-styled feminist, although she positions herself as a girl who just like to have sex a lot.
		There's a lot of material in the film to provide endless hours of debate and conversation, but there is little sense of Chong or director Lewis shaping that material or intentionally bringing it into any sharper focus.
		By the end of the film we may appreciate that Annabel Chong/Grace Quek is a more complicated person than we might have at first imagined, but in the end the only thing we have really learned is this: Sex sells.

	DVD Times - Sex: The Annabel Chong Story
		Annabel Chong's claim to fame, as announced through such diverse outlets as the Jerry Springer Show and the Presidential Debate at Cambridge University, was that while filming a video entitled The World's Biggest Gang Bang she had sex with 251 men in a single session.
		This ambivalence and duality extends throughout the film, which is a portrait of two women - 'Annabel Chong' the porn star, and Grace Quek, the holder of a USC degree in sexology and author of a number of academic essays on the subject.
		Apparently relations between film-maker and subject have been somewhat strained since this film came out, which doesn't really surprise me - one of the very first shots is of her running away from the camera screaming at the crew to "get the fuck away from me!", which is repeated (though never contextualised) later on.

	Sex: The Annabel Chong Story . Austin Chronicle . 03-29-99
		Best known as the adult film actress who in 1995 gleefully submitted herself to "the world's largest gang-bang" when she had sex with 251 men in a 10-hour period, the Taiwan-born Chong comes across as a porn star conundrum in Lewis' film, half an intelligent gender theorist and half an incomprehensible nymphomaniac.
		Clearly, Quek is an anomaly in the industry, a well-spoken, forthright young woman with a clearly defined and sexually politicized agenda.
		Her alter-ego, Chong, is merely a muddled, dull-witted, and pathetic figure in need of some serious therapy sessions.

		In 1995, Annabel Chong, a small, lithe tigress of a woman originally from Singapore, made a best-selling triple-X video in which she had 251 sexual encounters in 10 hours.
		Chong, in her disarmingly cool way, describes her attraction to porn and to radical sex, both of which she finds empowering.
		But there are also references to a repressive upbringing and a gang rape in her past; a portrait emerges of a troubled young woman who revels in, yet scarcely acknowledges, her own masochism.

	Annabel Chong meets the Olympics
		The movie is about Grace Quek, the ex-Singaporean actress who uses the stage name Annabel Chong, and her recent attempt to set a record by having sex with 251 men in 10 hours.
		I don't know that there's a record keeping body for such things, and if there is apparently their record keeping and standards are fairly lax because when you dig a little deeper you find out that they recycled from a pool of 80 or 90 to come up with that 251 number.
		It seemed a strange sort of irony, then, that the datelines of the articles about the Annabel Chong story from the Sundance festival were so similar to the datelines of the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee bribery scandal.

	Sex: The Annabel Chong Story
		The problem is, Lewis takes what could have been a fascinating look at one of porn’s most intriguing performers and instead turns it into your standard tale of a woman who uses the act of stripping/making pornography to compensate for an emptiness inside her.
		To be fair, this might be the real Annabel Chong—a woman who parades around saying that she’s a feminist with an agenda and claims to be unafraid of what others think of what she does, yet hides her career from her own parents and family.
		Equally bothersome is that Chong never got paid for her work in the gang-bang video—and she’s never pursued it legally, claiming that the act itself was worth more than money.
