“This is one of the crazy ones, along the lines of Buddhau0026#39;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 u0026quot;Red Pythonu0026quot; 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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is filled wacky costumes, fake monsters, goofy visual effects, and kung fu u0026quot;laseru0026quot; beams. As short as it is, it still gets a bit bogged down in dialogue and exposition. Still, thereu0026#39;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.”
