|---|
ZU:WARRIORS FROM THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN (Suk san: Sun Suk san geen hap) is a Hong Kong Kung Fu Fantasy directed by Tsui Hark in 1983. This movie boosts memorable visual effects which were then unknown in Hong Kong film production.
A soldier, two monks and a master in martial arts join forces in order to fight bad supernatural forces.
They have 19 days to find the Twin Swords, the only weapon able to destroy the Blood Creature which is meanwhile contained by Long Brows. Our heroes will first seek the help of Brigitte Lin, a Healer Countess with magic powers.
--Daniel Staebler, Resident Scholar
