Viewing Notes

More Chia Ling and Carter Wong!

Hot damn this is a fun movie! Watch enough of these and you’re sure to stumble onto a gem like this one. Total batshit crazy. Love seeing fantastical elements peppered into a movie like this. Like kung fu fighting apes!! Seriously. And they’re super badass. Which upon reflection how could they not be? Given their size and strength, teach them kung fu and they will destroy.

The long-tongue ghost fighters are a bit silly but completely fit the theme here as does the old creepy mangled faced prisoner. Plus you have _five_ superstar kung fu fighters in Carter Wong, Dorian Tan, Chia Ling, Doris Chen and Chen Hung-Lieh, as the super baddie once again. All of them in great fight sequences.

Another movie I want to own and show all my friends for the complete absurdity of it all. And to have the usual better print and original language. Just an amazing movie.
