When an ancient evil stirs once more, monks peacock yuen biao and lucky fruit hiroshi mikami are called back into action to confront a new supernatural threat. This time their quest draws them to hong kong, where they must protect the innocent and face an unholy alliance of demons and dark sorcery. Alongside them is ashura gloria yip, still torn between her human heart and her fated link to the underworld, as her powers become the key to either salvation or destruction. Blending frantic martial arts, grotesque creatures, and wild practical effects, saga of the phoenix amps up the chaos of its predecessor with even stranger monsters, surreal comedy, and over the top spectacle. Directed by lam nai choi, this sequel to the peacock king is a delirious slice of late 1980s hong kong japanese fantasy cinema—bigger, weirder, and just as unforgettable.
