The Eternal Evil of Asia (1995)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

If it's known for anything at all, "The Eternal Evil of Asia" would be recognized for that one scene where a man's head turns into the head of a penis. This effect is actually distressingly lifelike; the special effects people really went to town on making it look real, or as real as such a bizarre effect could look, anyway.Aside from that the movie has little going for it. It has the typical Category III foible - in fact it might be a common problem with Hong Kong movies in general - the plot is really quite simple, but is told in a confusing way.Here's the gist of it: the movie is basically about curses placed on some Kongkongese types by magicians in Thailand. To the Asians, Thailand seems to be what Transylvania is to the Europeans; ie. a land of supernatural and mystique. The movie begins with a largely unrelated sequence where a crabby father is killed by a curse put on him by his little son. The movie then jumps to the real protagonists: the stunningly beautiful Ellen Chan and her boyfriend, who are trying to consummate their relationship, but can't, as the man seems to be blocked by, I don't know... a curse?Ellen thinks her beau cheated on her when he went to Thailand with his buddies, but he swears up and down that that ain't so... the movie makes us wait until almost an hour into its runtime before showing us, confusingly, what really happened: the guy's buddies pretended to be him so that they could get a young girl into bed for a sex session - the movie's only proper sex scene - and she put a curse on him as revenge. Luckily, the Ellen Chan character knows a 'good witch' who works with her at a hair salon. Seriously. So the stage is set for a showdown between the good witch and the bad magician, which, like the rest of the movie, turns out to not make a whole lot of visual sense.There is a scene at the end of the movie where Ellen Chan and her cursed partner try to have sex without touching each other. Quite a bit of thrusting and some tantalising peeks at Chan's breasts ensue. There is also a scene where a guy gets hungry, and starts chewing someone's fingers. The movie cuts away, and then cuts back, and shows that he has skeletonised the person's whole arm. This is really the only violent scene in the whole movie."The Eternal Evil of Asia" is a surprisingly tame affair for a Category III flick, but it is plenty crazy, so if that's what you're after... watch out for the penis head.

Sexy,funny and best of all scary tale of a wizard taking revenge on a group of friends for events that occurred on a trip to Thailand. Adding into the mix is his desire to destroy not only the friends but the fiancé of one of them.Why isn't this better known? Its a great little film that has great effects, a great story and chills. Did I mention that this is one of the rare Chinese horror films that actual scared me, and not just grossed me out? Not for kids, but adults who want a sexy, scary funny movie should put this on their list since they will be in for a treat.

Eternal Evil of Asia (1995) was a bizarre film filled with a lot of sex and violence. It was part of the category III craze that made producers a lot of money. The films were cheap to make and a lot of them were cranked out to make as much money as they can before 1997 arrived. Because they knew when Hong Kong was handed back to China, there would be a few changes made in what kind of films they could produce. While the genre lasted for five years, it was a great time for category III fans.The movie is about the battle between white and black magic. A group of friends go to Thailand and fool around with a local girl. They do something real bad to her. The girl's brother vows to make their lives a living hell and any one around them. How much trouble can a three guys get on holiday? If you want to find out and experience some of the most wildness fun you'll ever see on video then you need to grab a copy of ETERNAL EVIL OF ASIA! Stars Ben Ng, Lily Cheung and category III stalwart Elvis Tsui.Highly recommended.

this is an over the top hk. horror/enchanter type film with not a little dark humour and a wonderful erotic ending which you should not take your auntie to see.Its an original,which i dont think, was ever meant to go outside asia.Not the best hk. horror but still rather good.For something different yes its worth a watch and a great unusual ending.
