Saga of the Phoenix Blu-ray Peacock King 2 II Yuen Biao 88 Films

Yuen Biao is back in the sequel to The Peacock King!

Introducing 88 Films' Blu-ray for Saga of the Phoenix (aka The Peacock King 2), a 1990 action-fantasy from director Nam Nai Choi (The Story of Ricky, The Peacock King) and co-director Lau Shut Yue (New Tales of the Flying Fox).

When an ancient evil stirs once more, monks Peacock (Yuen Biao) and Lucky Fruit (Hiroshi Mikami) are called back into action to confront a new supernatural threat. This time their quest draws them to Hong Kong, where they must protect the innocent and face an unholy alliance of demons and dark sorcery. Alongside them is Ashura (Gloria Yip), still torn between her human heart and her fated link to the underworld, as her powers become the key to either salvation or destruction.

Blending frantic martial arts, grotesque creatures, and wild practical effects, Saga of the Phoenix amps up the chaos of its predecessor with even stranger monsters, surreal comedy, and over-the-top spectacle.

Directed by Lam Nai-Choi, this sequel to The Peacock King is a delirious slice of late-1980s Hong Kong/Japanese fantasy cinema—bigger, weirder, and just as unforgettable.
