I suppose the lesson to be taken from this film is not to cheat a Burmese daughter because her father is likely to be a Wizard who only wants to protect his little girl. If a Hong Konger came to your small village and slept with your daughter, promised to marry her and then left and never came back, wouldn't you want to put an evil spell on him? In fact, the two men who get cursed brought it on themselves - one by having sex with the daughter; the other by stealing a jade Buddha statue. Yet the Wizard is the bad guy in the film? I tell you Wizards get a bad rap in Hong Kong films.


Two men - too murky on the VCD to make them out - travel into a Burmese jungle and steal the jade Buddha which has a few powers. The tribe attacks them, killing one and wounding the other with an arrow that is cursed. The film then moves back to Hong Kong and years later and seems to forget that opening but it will come back. Mak Long is sitting in a library seemingly unaware that his leg is bleeding profusely onto the floor. Librarians really don't like that. Doctor Sau Au Yeung happens to be there but the man refuses help. Later Mak has spaghetti that turns into worms but keeps eating. Yum yum. Whoever supplied the worms for this film did great business. Mak later ends up in the hospital where the wound on his leg opens and worms come crawling out.


Mak tells everyone why he is cursed - the Burmese daughter. Turns out Sau's father was the man in the jungle and he too is cursed by the same guy and sees blood everywhere. Fortunately for him, he has a friend who just happens to know how to counter the curse. Everyone should have a friend like this. It becomes a battle between Burmese black magic and a Taoist priest who needs a woman to sit in the circle of lights and project a light out of her forehead. This is Sau's girlfriend. Quite low budget and very slow for the first half but gets more interesting when all the crazy shit begins.


A very respectable if past their prime cast in this strange little film. Mak is played by Jason Pai Piao and he gets to perform no kung-fu, the father is veteran Kwan Hoi-san, the Wizard is Ku Feng and the Taoist priest is Han Ying-chieh, who choreographed all those great King Hu films. This should have been a kung-fu film with those guys. The doctor is Alan Chan and his girlfriend is Jo Jo Ngan. Put this one in the Don't Travel to South-East Asia category of which there are many.
