⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Any proper review of this film (at least from someone with the limited writing capabilities of myself) will sound like the ravings of a mad man. So remember, no matter what you read here, I’m fine and my mind is still (somewhat) intact. A dirty Thai boxer cripples another fighter from Hong Kong when he attacks him from behind after he’s already lost the match. The now paralyzed man sends his brother, Chan Hung to Thailand to get some revenge. Plans for a fight in the boxing ring are made and then things get SUPER complicated. Apparently Chan Hung was brothers with a Buddhist monk in a past life and said monk (the sorcerer slayer from Bewitched) was murdered by a pissed-off black magician, angry about said sorcerer slaying. The monk was close to achieving immortality but the poisonous magic (delivered via spider bites to the eyeballs) fucked up his chances. The bad news is; if he decays away, Chan Hung will die too thanks to their past life connection. The good news is that Chan Hung can fight the black magician and restore the immortality to the slain monk. With proper training Chan Hung does just that. The messy battle involves plenty of chicken guts, alligator skull attacks and even a struggle with a severed head. Chan returns to Hong Kong where he immediately breaks his abstinence vow and that causes a whole other shit storm. There’s more sorcerers and plenty more curses thrown about which leads to Chan coming back to Thailand and eventually heading to Nepal to collect golden ashes. Rotten food is consumed, people regurgitate most of it, worms are everywhere and a super hot sorceress is resurrected by stuffing a corpse in the gutted body of an alligator. It’s a wild time and it feels like three movies stuffed into one. If you can stomach the high ick factor you should have a great time with this Shaw Brothers classic.
