The career of Yuen Biao is a curious one. One of the more recognizable names of the golden era of Hong Kong cinema, yet on the surface never reaching the heights of his counterparts Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. His most immediately recognisable roles are those where featured alongside the other two. Yet he did carve out a solid solo career and during the late 80’s found a niche in fantasy movies. In 1988 he appeared in two adaptations of the Japanese manga “Peacock King”. The initial one reviewed here and its sequel “Saga of the Phoenix”.
Ashura (Gloria Yip), the daughter of the Hell King is awoken from her slumber by one of his minions Raga (Pauline Wong) as she holds the key to his imprisonment. Peacock (Yuen Biao) is sent to Toyko by his master (Eddie Ko) to try and prevent the opening of the Hell gate there.
