The Big Picture (2010)

SCHLOCKVEMBER: "PEACOCK KING" (10x27)

Data di messa in onda: Nov 05, 2021

Was our Halloween programming supposed to stretch into November? It was not. Do we plan to make a habit out of it? We do not. Are we going to make our awkward scheduling worth your while by giving you the first of TWO full-length episodes covering two of the strangest scifi/horror/action/fantasy features of late-1980s Hong Kong had to offer in Lam Ngai Kai's infamous live-action adaptations of the "SPIRIT WARRIOR" manga/anime franchise? ...YES! The director behind "THE STORY OF RICKY" and "THE SEVENTH CURSE" throws Doctor Strange, Ghostbusters, Lethal Weapon and a snapshot of vintage late-80s Hong Kong excess into a blender and dumps the results all over someone's rough idea of a live-action manga rework about mismatched Buddhist exorcists trying to keep The Devil's precocious daughter from unleashing Hell on Earth - while everyone from cannibal witches to possessed dinosaur puppets to Gordon Liu have other ideas.
