A bookish young man and his sword-loving sister find themselves battling
a trio of villains, one of them a beautiful but masked woman who has
promised to either marry or murder the first man to see her unmasked.
This is one of the crazy ones, along the lines of Buddha's Palm or Holy
Flame of the Martial World, though not as fun or inventive. Danny Lee
plays a scholar who is uninterested in kung fu, who pursues the "Red
Python" which can grant great power. His task is complicated by his
philandering father, the cute Lin Chen-chi and her magical snakes, and
angry Tanny Tien-ni and her dagger-shooting leg bone.
The movie is filled wacky costumes, fake monsters, goofy visual effects, and kung fu "laser" beams. As short as it is, it still gets a bit bogged down in dialogue and exposition. Still, there's enough craziness along the way to hold you until the mind-blowing ending , which features Danny Lee fighting a kung fu gorilla, and a man on retractable metal chicken legs who fires flames out of his mouth. Worth watching, at least for the ending.
