The Boxer's Omen (1983)

Director: Chin Hung Kuei

Premise:
The brother of an injured kick boxer tries to find a way to break their family curse.

My Take:
What a trippy film from the Shaw Brothers! Kick boxing monk fighting black magic sorcerers. The special effects are so outdated and look bad, but in a way it all adds to the madness.

Rating: In the middle
