OF SPELL and KUNG
FU WONDEDR CHILD return with the star Lin Hsiao Lan for more zany
mayhem. Using many of the same sets (and production values) this film
features even more outlandish fantasy [perhaps not suitable for kids,
see image below] including gill monsters, flying swordsmen, acid pits,
tree creatures, evil warlocks and magic spells.
Wonder Boy Peach finds
himself responsible for protecting a small child named Golden Boy who
reluctantly plays an important role in the ongoing battle between good
and evil forces after his mom and dad are captured. When his wizard parents
are captured by a band of demons working for an evil sorcerer, Peach protects
the boy and guards him during their journey to get help. The Golden Boy
is mischief-prone and turns out to be quite a handful for his protector.
For example, at a roadside tavern he gets drunk (!) and abuses his magical
powers by making a wooden bench and a wine jug dance. When demons attempt
to capture him, he wards them off with farts. And, a bit later, when asked
for water, he urinates in a cup. This is NOT a Western-style
fantasy.
