Overview: The Miracle Fighters is a comedic tale of taoist magic directed by the martial arts maestro behind Drunken Master, The Magnificent Butcher and Iron Monkey - the legendary Yuen Woo-ping!

During the Quing dynasty, marriage between Manchu and Han people is outlawed. When it is discovered that high-ranking official Kao Hsiung (Eddy Ko) has taken a Han wife, the Emperor informs him that he will be forgiven - but only if he kills his beloved before the court. When he refuses, Kao Hsiung is marked for death by the powerful Sorcerer Bat (Shun-yee Yuen) and forced to watch as his wife is slain before his eyes.

Kao Hsiung flees, kidnapping the Crown Prince during his escape - but soon the prince is dead, and Kao Hsiung is forced to silently replace him with another young boy. In adulthood, that innocent child - Shu Gut (Yat-Chor Yuen) - finds himself relentlessly pursued by Sorcerer Bat, and turns to two quarreling taoist priests in the hope of protecting himself with their magic.

Made in the same mold as its contemporaries Encounter of the Spooky Kind and The Dead and the Deadly, this riotous kung fu fantasy was followed by two equally entertaining thematic sequels in Shaolin Drunkard and Taoism Drunkard. Eureka Classics is proud to present The Miracle Fighters on Blu-ray from a brand new 2K restoration.

Blu-ray Verdict: I think everyone who has seen this movie already knows that this film has some cheesy fights, cheesy effects, cheesy characters and so everything that a fan of cheese cinema wants to see in a film!

The story is about a man whose wife has been killed by the local emperor and he is sentenced to death. Therefore, in order to flee he kidnaps the emperor’s son and flees with him. On the way, the emperor’s son is killed accidentally, and the man who is chased by the emperor’s soldiers gives his nephew a medal that had belonged to the emperor’s son before he was killed.

Phew! Later on, the bad guys appear and everything becomes so cheesy that you won’t stop laughing! On the top of that, there are many wine bottles flying around, but I digress. Simply put, Miracle Fighters is another Yuen woo-Ping action movie, only this time, it is not only based on kung-fu, but also on magic, sorcerers and a LOT of humor.
