James W VERY weird, very funny, fun VFX, beautiful sets... this movie is a visual feast with surrealist imagery, ambitious wire work, wild colors, creepy demons, and so much more. It's worth it for Sammo Hung's prehensile eyebrows alone. Unfortunately, the editing is so fast-paced and seemingly random, the action sequences can be very confusing and the plot even more-so as it often feels like scenes that should transition you from point A to point B are missing altogether, leaving the viewer with whiplash as scenes are jarringly jammed together. The third act really starts to drag and I found myself shouting "WHAT IS HAPPENING??" at the screen at least a dozen times. It's great to look at. It really is visually spectacular. And if you hold on tight, you can follow the bizarre and sometimes frustrating story all the way to the kooky end.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite ground breaking stuff for Hong Kong movies back in 1983. Story is a bit sus but great fun of a film so I give this one an average 3 stars. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent Martial Arts Fantasy That Moves At Such A High Speed With Visual Delights, Great Humour & Martial Arts Action There's No Time To Fuss Over It's Flaws. The Visual Effects Make Up For It's Lack Of Story. The Film Focuses On A Soldier Who Gets Caught Up With The Zu Warriors & Their Battle To Save Earth, This Paved The Way In Technological Advancement In Asian Film Production & One Not To Be Missed, Especially If Your A Fan Of Asian Cinema.
