Buddha

About This Movie

Buddha (1983) is a rather curious piece that blends action and fantasy in a way that feels both fresh and oddly nostalgic. The pacing can be somewhat uneven, but it allows those stunning practical effects to shine through. You get to see demi gods trading blows with semi devils, which is a unique twist for the genre. Joe Law, known for his work in Monkey Kung Fu, brings a physicality to the action that’s captivating. The atmosphere is a curious mix of seriousness and levity, which makes it distinctive among similar films. It's not just about the battles; there’s a thematic exploration of good versus evil, and the performances have a certain charm that keeps you engaged, even if it's a bit rough around the edges.
