Weirdness "Revenge Of The Zombies"


A big rubber crocodile eats a village girl swimming in a pond, then a real crocodile is hooked, killed and gutted…. before the credits! Welcome to the demented sequel to Black Magic (75). Originally released as Black Magic 2, this has more good V evil spell casting, zombies with spikes in their heads, possession, potions, worms, open sores, voodoo, ghosts and a fair amount of blood and guts get thrown around in a dark tale that leaps between Hong Kong and Malaysia. Produced by Run Run Shaw, kung fu legend Ti Lung (in glasses) plays a doctor who don’t believe in black magic till a female friend has her blood stolen and she falls victim to a sexy curse that makes her whore around with Lo Lieh, an ancient witch doctor who stays young by drinking human milk. He also sticks nails in his face and casts spells to earn pocket money, using a zombie army to do his bidding. It never stops, has lots of odd rituals and if it don’t make your eyes pop out, it’ll certainly give you a hernia from laughing. See someone drink pubic hair, funny English dubbing, cool music, a zombie baby, maggots, melting faces, loud shirts, kung fu and a girl that gets smacked around with a (real) dead muskrat! Like all in the series, it’s a must see item. The (sort of) sequel Black Magic 3 is easier to find under the title Queen Of Black Magic (85).
