zu warriors from the magic mountain (1983)

aka San suk san geen hap. Warriors from the Magic Mountain. Xin shu shan jian xia. Zu Mountain: New Legend of the Zu Mountain Swordsmen. Zu Time Warrior. Zu Warriors. Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain.
In ancient China a civil war rages. A young warrior Ti escapes the mayhem by ascending a mountain and sheltering in a cave. There he is caught up in a battle between supernatural forces and has to help defeat the blood demon.

Legendary Hong Kong filmmaker Tsui Hark delivers a lavish fantasy epic; a magical underworld filled with demons and flying monks, and featuring some of the most cutting edge (for its time), special effects. Sure its dated by the standards of todays computer generated effects, but its still packs an entertaining punch. Forget the plot, what there is of it, just wallow in the frenetic action, Hong Kong at its best.
