The Eternal Evil of Asia

Sexy,funny and best of all scary tale of a wizard taking revenge on a group of friends for events that occurred on a trip to Thailand. Adding into the mix is his desire to destroy not only the friends but the fiancé of one of them.

Why isn't this better known? Its a great little film that has great effects, a great story and chills. Did I mention that this is one of the rare Chinese horror films that actual scared me, and not just grossed me out?

Not for kids, but adults who want a sexy, scary funny movie should put this on their list since they will be in for a treat.

ETERNAL EVIL OF ASIA is a fun one. Combining some of the best qualities of both the HK CATIII films and the earlier 80's HK sorcery films - EEOA is a wild ride. As expected - a good bit of gore, sleazy sex and rape, a little bit of creepiness, and some insane hilarity that has to be seen to be believed. And of course - don't forget the ridiculously inept subtitling...

Four guys from Hong Kong (reffered to by foreigners in the film as HONGKIES - I almost p!ssed myself the first time I saw THAT...) take a trip to Thailand. One of the guys (named Bon) is engaged to one of the other guy's sister. They go to a sleazy brothel and get chased out, and in search of shelter, the four party-animals end up at a wizard's house. The wizard tells them they have to stay and witness a battle between himself and a husband-and-wife duo wizard team. One of the guys doesn't buy all the wizard talk - so the wizard turns his head into a giant cock (no joke...) which converts the other guys into believers with a quickness. The wizard fights and wins his duel (which is one of the funniest "battle" scenes ever, and includes some high-flying kung-fu sex techniques a la A Chinese TORTURE CHAMBER STORY...) with Bon's help, and to show his appreciation, Mr. Wizard asks the guys to stay and hang out for a bit (and also changes Dick-Head's head back to normal...). There they meet Mr. Wizards hottie sister, who ends up having a crush on Bon - but Bon ain't havin' no parts of it because of his fiancée (who's a fine piece o' ass as well...). She convinces Mr. Wizard to mix up a "love potion" to make Bon fall in love with her, but this whole scheme back-fires horrendously and ends up with her dead. Mr. Wizard is none-too-thrilled about this - and seeks revenge on all involved in his sister's death...

not as "strong" in terms of "shock value" as some of the more notable CATIII entries, but EEOA is still one of the better and more "fun" examples. A decent amount of campy gore, plenty of nudity (including some full-frontal), and a pretty coherent storyline make this one definitely worth checking out. Lily Chung (of RED TO KILL, DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS, and other CATIII "classics" fame) is also in this one as a "good witch" - and I've dug her a lot ever since my first viewing of RED TO KILL. Definitely recommended for the genre fan...8.5/10

There are the British video nasties, and the Japanese Pink films; in Hong Kong, it is Catagoty III. I am not sure what to expect, but I do know they censored Ichi the Killer, so it can't be worse that that.

This is a film about hexing and enchantments with some sex and violence thrown in. One guy gets enchanted and starts chopping up his wife and son and guests. It's bloody, but hilarious, too.

Four friends go to Thailand and get involved with a wizard. Believe it our not, he turns one into a dick-head. They are forced to watch a wizard battle, and things get really ridiculous and funny. Bon (Kwok-Pong Chan) is left behind as the three friends open an enchantment sent to him, and go after the wizard's sister. The wizard comes after them when they return home, and plans to take May (Ellen Chan) when he is finished with them. He has a gruesome death planned for each of them.

Things get very weird and bloody after he accomplishes his mission.

May's friend Mei (Lily Chung) is a witch and has a plan you will not believe. Unfortunately, the wizard gets the last laugh.

Almost as funny as the movie are the subtitles.

Four friends that had a trip to Thailand to get laid goes wrong. Instead they get involved with wizards which goes further wrong and end up on one wizard's bad side. The wizard goes after each of the four, one at a time to try to give each a gruesome death.

This is one of the many ghost/occult themed Cat III Hong Kong horror movies made in the 1990's. There is some moderately gory scenes with a few more intense in the beginning.

There also is some nudity but not much. Mostly bare breasts. Plus when there is nudity it is obscured by weird or dark lighting, a view thru a steamy shower or just short cuts where if you blink you will miss it. The couple of sex scenes are not even softcore.

Unfortunately, at times the story moves very slow, not quite doing anything. They could have cut at least 20 minutes and had a much better movie. The last scene was 15 minutes and could have been 5 without losing anything.

I would like to recommend this movie even just to fans of HK Cat III films but this one comes up short. There are much better.

Even though I was perplexed by the title, this film is a unique mix of Hong Kong horror and comedy!!

Ellen Chan is a hotty!! You can't really blame Laimi, can you?? I cannot describe this movie to do it justice, but DON'T insult a wizard with good hearing (heh heh). There's spellcasting, hexes, and some grisly death scenes, but it's not too shocking or gory to lose sleep over. The magic duel is unique and shows a new meaning of "tag team". The finale is the highlight of the film and depicts a battle I've never seen before in cinema.

Watch this....espeically for Ellen!!
