After being defeated in a fight by a local gang, local official Lu Fengyang sends his weak and sickly son Lu Xiaoqing to study with a master of the Kunlun school of martial arts. Recovered and strong, he comes upon the Red Lotus Temple, and puts up there for the night. Unable to sleep, he begins looking around the palatial temple, and discovers a room decorated with many images of Buddhist demons, and an altar to worship them... Purposely destroyed serial film whose 19 full length chapters (averaging 86 minutes each) originally ran 27 hours in length.

Sexylocher Masterful Movie
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
zzmale Although it was not the first Chinese movie made, it was a first major success and as the result of its success, the Chinese movies made around that time were very similar to it: most of them were martial arts flicks.Another importance of this film in the early era of Chinese movie industry was that it pioneered the large scale adoption of movie theaters for the general public which included the middle and lower classes.
