Drenched in eye-popping colors and energetic practical effects, this is the perfect martial arts film for those who also want heavy helpings of magic craziness and incredible practical effects. The mystical HOLY FLAME of the title — a yin-and-yang sword — is held by a couple who get murdered by some totally evil dudes. The dead couple’s kids grow up and tear up the countryside, with evil creatures, blasting magic lasers and tons of acrobatic duels filling the screen.
Demons, ghosts, zombies, living tapestries, superpowered hermits, conspirators, monks, deadly traps, skeletons, temples, dungeons, secret magic techniques and more all explode on screen. HOLY FLAME is one of the absolute pinnacles of wuxia fantasy - and the art of cinema as a whole.
