I was gonna talk about this later, but there's one part where we see the first main evil wizard doing a bunch of rituals, uh, when he's like trying to get a bat to revive after it has been destroyed, and he's talking at the ritual like somebody talks at their car when they can't get it to start.
You know, it's just this familiar impatient annoyance, not some.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's more in the chaotic frenzy era because th they're just frantically kind of I don't know, chew picking picking up guts and chewing them and cutting things off of animals and chewing them and spitting them out and cutting things open and it seems half of the time like they're barely paying attention to what they're doing.
Right.
A lot of times what we might mean by calling something authentic, culturally authentic evil sorcery does not mean it's what people what like sorcerers of that culture actually did.
It's what people of that culture actually thought sorcerers.
Like with this one, maybe we should start with the plot summary at the top, because in the plot section, we're probably just going to talk a lot about these wizard battle scenes and the rituals.
Uh so the plot is basically takes this form.
Um, a Hong Kong criminal named Chan Hung is drawn into a quest for revenge against a cruel Thai kickboxer.
Who paralyzed Chen Hung's brother with an illegal strike during a match, actually after a match was over.
And then at the same time, he is drawn by dreams and visions to a Buddhist monastery in Thailand, where he discovers that he has a spiritual connection to the recently deceased abbot of that temple.
The abbot was a powerful and holy Buddhist monastery.
Monk who died in the middle of a feud with a clan of evil sorcerers.
Chan Hung discovers that in order to both avenge his worldly brother and protect the immortality of his spirit brother, the abbot, and then finally also to protect himself, because we learn that his fate is linked to the fate of the abbot, he must renounce his hedonistic life of crime, shave his head, and be
Become a monk.
And this practice of piety and self discipline and self denial is
Will allow him to gain supernatural strength to fight his enemies, both physical and magical.
And then from this ensues a massive series of wizard battles and escalations of wicked enchantment.
Uh along the way, Chen Hung faces doubt, weakness, temptation, and setbacks.
