      Martial arts villain with Gene Simmons make-up
      Oddball marital arts film about a demon-like rapist who sports make-up that's almost an exact replica of Gene Simmons Kiss make-up. Despite the bizarreness of that, this was a pretty good martial arts fantasy film which features a lot of atmosphere and better than average storytelling. There's lots of swordplay, comedy, mystery, melodrama, and searches for secret scrolls. It's gonzo entertainment, but it's quite entertaining. I only wish the filmmakers has excised the rape elements, which did not seem necessary.
