Another take on “Faust”. Childhood friend Joey and Gary are the only survivors of a coup against Gary’s family. Joey lands in hell and sells his loyalty to the devil in return for magic powers. As part of the deal, Joey has nine demons enter his body. The demons demand a daily feed of blood and are very naughty, but they must obey Joey. He uses the new powers to help Gary and to kill the plotters. But he can’t always control the nine demons. (Source: Letterboxd) Edit Translation

This is a Shaw Brothers production so the choreography was on point. I really loved the beginning fight scene with the rope action... VERY WELL DONE! The Special FX are terrible even for 1984. I was going to give that a pass but I can't. I mean, the fake blood, the strobe lights...NO!
I really enjoyed the first 40 minutes of this thing but after that the story just didn't really hold my interests and I thought the secondary plot was dumb. I mean, a guy did sell his soul to the devil so what was I expecting? I don't know but I think b/c most of the good action and story happened prior I was just a little disappointed.
Also, inquiring minds want to know what the wardrobe/costumes department was thinking by putting the male lead in that damn clown costume. Just a weird choice. I did like the demon costumes though. There were some really funny scenes but overall very below average martial arts flick.
