Forbidden Warrior

2004 · 91 min

A scrappy, earnest martial-arts fantasy that plays like a dubbed late-night adventure: silly, energetic and oddly charming in its cheapness.

In The Soul Of A Woman Beats The Heart Of A Hero.
Overview
The Gaia Za is a sacred tome that holds many ancient and powerful spells to be unlocked by a so-called Chosen One expected to be born to one of two leading families: the Khans or the Marajis. Unwilling to leave the clan's fate to the gods, Che Khan decides to take matters into his own hands by plotting the murder of a new Maraji baby, who may be the child in question. In doing so, he sets off a furious clash.
