Demon Strike Trailers

Silver Fox (Hwang Jan Lee) fights a dark martial arts master imbued with weird magical powers (which include performing strange rituals on captive women) and, of course, fantastic fighting skills. The Fox will need every one of his own prodigious fighting skills to triumph over the forces of evil that marshal against him in this rock 'em, sock 'em martial arts epic. The very formidable Leung Kar Yan costars.

First off I found this movie by accident. I bought it in a wutang volume pack and it contained a movie called water something.. turns out this is the movie. It's also previewed to death on a lot of the wutang hidden chambers disks showing the scene where one of the venoms is getting tied up in ropes with claws. That begins at the starting of the movie and its not all that exciting. Near the end of the movie is where you might get freaked out if your not used to looking at alien puppets. This bloody tongue beast comes out of no where killing everyone and snacking on a lot of croch. Again i thought this might be a decent movie considering it had beardy in it and a venom. I was wrong... there's a few average fights but nothing to run out and grab like say legend of a fighter or knockabout. If you find this movie just fast forward to the end and get spooked out.

The box of my DVD version boasts that this is the first meeting of two of Hong Kong's great action stars Leung Kar Yan and Hwang Jang Lee. It was a prospect i was very much looking forward to watching. Leung Kar Yan the most famous martial arts star who never trained in Martial arts and Hwang Jang Lee the deadly Korean kicking master who killed a knife fighter in Vietnam in a mere 30 seconds face of as hero and villain respectively. The problem is that it falls into being a rushed, standard hero flick with tacky sfi-fi/magical elements and unnecessary x-rated material. Admittedly there are some great fights, as in most Kung Fu movies of Hong Kong's second martial arts golden age (1970s/early 80s) but the rest in bland and boring. Jang Lee can't compare to the villain he played as Jackie Chan's nemesis in Drunken Master or Snake in the Eagles shadow and Kar Yan plays his bog standard "tough guy master" that everyone who watched a lot of kung fu movies has seen 100 times before. Overall very disappointing if you are a kung fu enthusiast. And if you aren't into kung fu movies, well i don't suppose you would bother picking up this film anyway.
