Zu Warriors

 

aka: Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain
Hong Kong 1983, 95 minutes
Dir. Tsui Hark
In Cantonese , English with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Action/Adventure / Fantasy, Martial Arts

 

Aroview: A renowned fantasy film, in which four medieval warriors search the universe for twin swords with which to defeat a powerful demon, which threatens to unleash a flood of evil onto the world.

Dir. Hark famously employed the best Hollywood special f/x artists to conjure a dazzling and fantastical backdrop, against which acrobatic martial arts scenes are powerfully sketched. The film's only real weakness is in the script, which fails to fully enlighten on points of Chinese mythology - however repeat viewings will unravel the dense layers of subtext.
