The Battle Wizard
Directed by Pao Hsueh-Li
Produced by Shaw Brothers
A colorful wuxia adventure built on sibling bonds and martial spectacle, where fantastical adversaries and romantic complications drive a quest to restore family harmony.
A brother who loves books and a sister who loves swords must face a yellow-robed warrior, the Red Python, a sinuous snake-charmer, and a silk-masked beauty (who must kill or wed the first man to see her face) before they can bring peace to their battle-addled family.
