Viewing Notes
Can’t say I’m a fan of this one, a loose remake of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Chang Cheh. It’s just too goofy with the possession stuff. It’s like slapstick action but not in a Jackie Chan kind of way. Hard to explain. Will probably revisit someday but outside of some decent fight scenes this didn’t work for me.
Also listed as a VENOM MOB flick but it’s not. There are no Venom actors in this. I’ll have to update that list.
