Review

It is the strangeness of The Battle Wizard that makes it such an enjoyable movie" --Kung Fu Cinema

Product Description

Based on Chin Yung s novel The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, a brother, Tuan Yu, who loves books and a sister, Mu Wan-Ching, who loves swords must face the yellow-robed warrior, the Red Python, a sinuous snake-charmer and a silk-masked beauty (who must kill or wed the first man to see her face) before they can bring peace to their battle-addled family. Danny Lee (John Woo s The Killer) stars as Tuan Yu, while the striking Tanny Tien Ni, plays Mu Wan-Ching, in this familial fight fest. Choreographed by Tang Chia and Huang Pei-Chi and directed by Pao Hsueh-li, trusted co-director for several of Chang Cheh s most memorable productions including The Water Margin, The Battle Wizard is kung-fu action and pure entertainment!

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY IT"S HERE..., April 26, 2009

By	Jargonaut (Kansas) - See all my reviews

I have been waiting for this movie to be released for quite some time now (years). I remember seeing a poster or lobby card of a white haired master spewing fire from from his mouth. Needless to say that's pretty much all I needed to sell me on this film. So finally it's here and it does not disappoint. Well, it would probably would disappoint martial arts purist nerds that want their movies to be "real". I however love to find wildest and weirdest movies possible. The picture and sound quality are really amazing.I wont go into a extensive plot review, but the movie is essentially a fairy tale. There isn't necessarily a lot of martial arts but there is plenty of super powered magic. The fact this movie is Shaw Bros. just makes it all the better! Ok, so here's a few things that make this movie great...fire breathing bird leg extending wizard, extensive animated "ch'i" laser blasts from hands and fingers, giant red snake whose blood gives you super strength, berserk gorilla with arm chopped off, horny bald ogre with chain extending claw hand, pit of death, glowing attack frog, dagger shooting bone, snakes inside a man, technicolor melting face, and more! It all must be seen to be believed. If you are a fan of bizarre cinema give this one a try it really is a lot of fun. This movie is also sold in a four movie box set which is also worth looking into.
