Reviewed at The EOFFTV Review
A Hong Kong science Fiction/fantasy film directed by Godfrey Ho who uses the pseudonym Charles Lee. Like many of Ho’s releases at this time it consists of an earlier film (in this case the Taiwanese film Da she wang (1984)) combined with newly shot footage to create a new story.
Plot Summary
A young girl’s pet snake is accidentally exposed to a secret formula that causes it to grow in size. A terrorist group abducts the girl hoping to use the formula for their own ends and the snake, now grown even more after a bungled attempt by the gang to kill it, is on the rampage.
