How deep is the influence of Hong Kong kung fu action movies on Hollywood? This film is an early example. A large number of Hong Kong films have been transplanted from the storyline, the layout of the scene, the number of actors to the design of martial arts scenes, but director John Carpenter has always been an American, and although he works hard to make an oriental version of "Legend of the Devil Palace," which is purely entertaining, it will inevitably make Chinese audiences feel that it is not a mule or a horse. Kurt Russell plays Bolton, a truck driver, who goes to the airport with his Chinese friend Wang Ji to pick up Wang's fiancee, but she is kidnapped by gangsters, and the main emissary is the demon of spiritual practice in 2000. In order to save his fiancee, Wang teamed up with Bolton and a group of Chinese kung fu masters to break into the devil's hall and fight a duel with demons and ghosts. The film is quite lively and interesting. If you think of it as a Chinese kung fu film made with American film technology, you will find a lot of fun.
