The Nine Demons (1984)

This is a Shaw Brothers production so the choreography was on point. I really loved the beginning fight scene with the rope action... VERY WELL DONE!

The Special FX are terrible even for 1984. I was going to give that a pass but I can't. I mean, the fake blood, the strobe lights...NO!

I really enjoyed the first 40 minutes of this thing but after that the story just didn't really hold my interests and I thought the secondary plot was dumb. I mean, a guy did sell his soul to the devil so what was I expecting? I don't know but I think b/c most of the good action and story happened prior I was just a little disappointed.

Also, inquiring minds want to know what the wardrobe/costumes department was thinking by putting the male lead in that damn clown costume. Just a weird choice. I did like the demon costumes though. There were some really funny scenes but overall very below average martial arts flick.
