Viewing Notes

Is this a kung fu movie? Yep, I guess it is. It’s more fantasy horror but not horror in the traditional sense. Rather convoluted but the main story is that an emperor has a magical spider that emits a flash of light that disintegrates anyone in its path. The heroes have to figure out a way to stop the emperor. Not a great movie but colorful with good characters. I’ll watch it again next time it gets programmed.
