| Crazy Shaw Bros. film that involves kickboxing, revenge and sorcery. This film is far out there with two plots that involve Chen Hsiung (Phillip Ko) pursuing revenge on a Thai kickboxer (Bolo) who paralyzed his brother in a match and Chen getting involved in a ancient battle between Buddist monks and black magic sorcerers.
This is a strange film that offers a naked zombie chick that is born from a dead crocodile stomach, an army of crocodile skulls, a character inserted in the film to further reach the T&A quota, an odd green head that looks to be either made of green slime or otherworldly that drips wax, bats that look like evil Beanie Babies, a decapitated wizard's head that spawns tenacles, regurgitation for consumption by your friends, and much, much more--a little something for everyone! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to spend a wacky 1 1/2 hours or people curious about some of the darker Shaw Bros. films. |

While not for everyone, this is one of the best of the Shaw Brothers' so-called 'Black Magic' movies, a wild and crazy plot involving glowing Buddhists, flying disembodied heads, insane black magic duels, and a pair of blood soaked kickboxing fights. If you like wacky exploitation it doesn't come much better or wackier than this.
