From Lam Nai-Choi — the director of Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky and The Cat — comes a sequel to The Peacock King that delivers his signature blend of action, horror, fantasy and jaw-dropping spectacle. The Holy Maiden of Hell, Ashura (Gloria Yip), possesses immense power that could destroy all of humanity. Buddhist monks trap her in a deep cave to keep her from falling into evil hands, but when the kindhearted Abbot Jiku grants her wish to experience the human world for seven days, chaos ensues. Monks Peacock (Yuen Biao) and Lucky Fruit must protect her while confronting a new supernatural threat — an unholy alliance of demons and dark sorcery converging on Hong Kong. A co-production between Hong Kong's Golden Harvest and Japan's Toho, the film features a cast of stars from both nations.
