The Weird Man

1983 · 87 min

A lurid, fast-moving martial-arts ghost story that mixes beheadings and sorcery with a scrappy, pulpy energy.

Overview: Chang is known for his lone swordsman and hero movies and strangely The Weird Man still reflects this. Cheng plays a righteous, beheaded priest with supernatural powers that returns from the dead to wreak havoc against one of the corrupt kingdoms, making Cheng a heroic swords-ghost.
How it feels: Dark, eerie, campy and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Revenge, corruption, justice, death
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
