Taoism Drunkard

1984 · 95 min

A chaotic, silly kung-fu fever dream full of slapstick fights and bizarre gags that never slows down.

Directed by
Yuen Cheung-yan
Genres
Comedy, Action, Horror
Overview
A Taoist priest is ordered to find a Cherry Boy to appease his temple's ancestors. The boy in question is a young man who lives with his grandmother, trying to protect a sacred writ from a bright red, snarling bad guy. And let's just say insanity follows!
How it feels
Absurd, whimsical, campy and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About
Obsession, faith, survival, family
Content
Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
