Part groan-inducing sex comedy rife with castration anxiety, part Hong-Kong supernatural thriller in the Black Magic mold, WIZARD’S CURSE follows the postmortem adventures of two evil sorcerers who are inexplicably fused into a quasi-vampiric entity with a glowing eight-foot phallus. A Taoist priest (played by Ching-Ying Lam, partially reprising his role from 1985’s MR. VAMPIRE) pathologically obsessed with shielding his daughter from lecherous suitors must redirect his attention to the task of saving his family and a dimwitted cop from the undead dyad.
