Movie Reviews of Nine DemonsMovie Review: Kung Faust Summary: 4 Stars
From beginning to end this movie is hands down one of the most insane kung fu movies I've ever seen. Much more akin to films like "Versus" than "The Five Deadly Venoms," this film has everything but the proverbial kitchen sink thrown into it. On the surface it's a pretty standard revenge film - father gets murdered, son goes on rampage - but that is only the skeleton on which the true substance of this crazy, horror, kung fu fest takes flesh. Wild kung fu/wire fu fights, demonic vampire child acrobats, flying blood sucking skulls, the devil, a guillotine, a whore with a heart of gold, exploding bodies, romance, intrigue, sacrifice, tests of loyalty, betrayal, forgiveness, an exorcism, and even a moral - you should never kill anyone...unless they're really bad, and even then don't do it with powers you got from making a deal with the devil - all go into making this film the treat that it is.
If, like me, you love your kung fu movies for more than just the fighting...if you like them just a bit over the top (or a lot over the top)...and if you aren't a kung fu snob, then this movie is for you!

Great set piece choreography as only the Venoms can deliver!
