Synopsis by Jonathan E. Laxamana
This sequel to the Hong Kong thriller, Peacock King (1988), stars Yuen Biao as Kujaku, the heroic Peacock King. In this film, Kujaku is captured and frozen in a prison of ice by the evil Hell Queen. Meanwhile, a young monk must watch over a girl who holds the key to the gates of hell. Due to his character's magical imprisonment, Biao is surprisingly absent from most of the film.
