THE BATTLE WIZARD-1977-In this crazy
revenge tale, Yellow Robe Man seeks revenge on the man who cut off
his legs with some kind of magic that shoots from his finger tips.
Yellow Robe (who now has iron legs) wants to kill the man's son Tuan
Yu (Danny Lee; also in THE BRAVE ARCHER the same year) who doesn't
like to use his Kung-Fu. YRM sits in a cave and sends his own son
(or just his henchman), a vampire like ugly guy with fangs to get
vengeance. Yu falls in love with his half sister (they don't know
each other) but YRM captures them and puts them in a pit with a
gorilla (looks like one Jerry Warren used). Yu drinks a special type
of snake blood and becomes invincible. There's also a woman who can
control snakes and a masked female assassin, fighting, magic and
flying chopsticks. The out of control finale features fire breathing
and a body melting. This Shaw Brothers production based on a novel by Louis Cha.
Thanks for reading!
