'Black Lizard' stars Derek Yee Tung-Sing as Lung Fei and Sun Chien as Constable Tieh Hu, this cinematic journey unfolds with young swordsman Lung Fei encountering ominous signs foretelling the death of his fiancée, Ting Tzu-chu.
But here's the catch—while the movie boasts crazy sets, costumes, and a whacky narrative, it doesn't quite add up to anything substantial. Prepare for a rollercoaster of strange flashbacks, cutaways, and the introduction of random characters every few minutes. And let's not forget the pièce de résistance: a giant lizard that looks more like a statue coming to life in the end.
While 'Black Lizard' may not be the masterpiece you anticipated, it offers a unique viewing experience that is both puzzling and entertaining. Are you a fan of classic Shaw Brothers films? Let us know in the comments below!
