MARS VILLA IN JOHANNESBURG

MARS VILLA Synopsis: One of the best Taiwanese independents of the late '70s, "Northern Leg", John Liu plays Mar Tien Liang, "The Magic Kick" whose villa is attacked and plundered by the evil bloodthirsty Fang Kang (Philip Ko Fei) on his wedding night.  Mar kills Fang in a bloody battle, but Mar's wife Yu Lam begs her husband not to fight again. However, Fang's brother Yu Tang (also played by Philip Ko Fei) and his son Fan (Stephen Tung Wai) set out to make Mar's life hell--kidnapping his wife's brother, torturing Mar, and driving him insane and luring Yu Lam away to live with the wicked Fan. Mar is discovered begging in the streets by his old and trusted servant (Chan Chia Kai), who helps him recover his sanity and trains him for the climactic challenge of death.  A true classic in every sense: good characterizations, breathtaking training scenes, exquisite locations, hard-hitting fight action, plus a great spaghetti western backing score make "Wu Tang Magic Kick" magical entertainment.      Starring: John Liu Mark Cheung   Category: Martial Art    Age Restriction: PG V
