Directed by Yuen Woo-ping
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
This very strange movie shows the sort of thing Yuen Woo-ping will do when he is left to his own designs and imagination. Even strange for him, this movie involves vampires, huge monster toads, and drunk monks. For some of the effects puppets were used, including a very creepy/realistic dummy version of the Drunk Monk. The fight scenes are very creative and show off Yuen Woo-ping’s weird sense of style and choreography.

Viewing Notes
Give this Woo-ping directed genre mashup a lot of credit for just being weird. Wish this got a nice release bc it would pair well with The 7th Curse. It’s not as good as that but shares a similar vibe.
This films leans way more into the humor than everything else, which doesn’t always work. But the wild horror elements and action are creative. Kinda surprised 88 hasn’t already picked up this title.
