Viewing Notes
This movie is nuts. Thought I had seen it before but nothing rang a bell then I realized it’s probably the more recent Zu Warriors I’ve seen… well, 20 years more recent. This one has a stellar cast and actually gives Moon Lee more do in one of her early roles before she went on to do her own movies. Don’t ask me what happens in this; it’s just a marvel of aerobatic spectacular with fun performances and whimsical comedy beats.
This was the third movie for the birthday and really a bonus as I wasn’t planning this one but it worked out meeting up w/Tonia and Ron then heading to their place for a movie. Nice to get a Secret Cinema screening on my One Day!
