The Boxer's Omen

The Shaws weren't only fond of kung fu movies. They also made wild supernatural horror films, and here is the most notorious title of the genre. A revenge story that starts off a like so many others until an ejaculating monk appears and the main character hangs over the toilet to vomit an eel. Reality begins to crumble into a thousand pieces, submerging the spectator in an incessant wave of gross images. Half-eaten heads fly through the air, wizards munch on chicken anuses, and naked women non-chalantly rub their watery eyes as they emerge from disemboweled crocodiles. And it keeps going! Your first reaction will be to drop your jaw in amazement, but then hysterical laughter will take over, and that's a good thing: it's the sole remedy against the film's non-stop insanity!
