Wolf Devil Woman begins with a married couple and their infant daughter attempting to escape from a cult led by Red Devil. Surrounded by Red Devil's ninjas, the couple commit suicide, covering their child in their own blood to keep her warm, before starting an avalanche. The ninjas find the bodies of the couple but cannot find the baby. After the ninjas have left, a pack of wolves (unconvincingly played by dogs) arrive on the scene to eat the corpses, with one white wolf uncovering the missing child (still alive) and, instead of eating her, taking her back to the pack's ice cavern.Twenty years later, Young Master Rudolph (I kid you not) and his assistant Rudy embark on a perilous journey to try and locate a 1000 year old ginseng, the root necessary to defeat the Red Devil's blood freezing spell. While on their travels, they encounter the girl raised by wolves, and befriend her, teaching her how to read and write, and correcting her lousy posture. They give her the silly name of Snow Hibiscus. While explaining the purpose of their travels, they discover that the wolf girl has eaten the 1000 year ginseng, leaving them to return home empty handed.Once home, Rudolph decides to launch a surprise attack on Red Devil, but is captured and enslaved. Snow Hibiscus rushes to his rescue, leading to a silly showdown in which the good guys are pitted against more ninjas and hopping zombies controlled by voodoo dolls.Usually, I would enjoy the heck out of any film that features a sexy feral woman dressed as a wolf, teleporting ninjas, a villain sporting a sparkly KKK-style hood with a skull and crossbones motif, hopping zombies, badly animated fire, and even some self-inflicted arterial spray (to douse the aforementioned cartoon fire). With all of this, and more, Wolf Devil Woman sure works hard to appease trash movie fans, but despite all of its craziness, I felt disappointed overall, the dreadful performances, crap editing, and poor direction resulting in a fair amount of tedium. The tone of the whole thing is also very childish, with some particularly terrible comedy: if it wasn't for the occasional decapitation, the gushes of bright red blood and some rather unsettling animal cruelty (rabbits and chickens torn apart), I might have mistaken this for a kid's film.3/10.

I recently saw Ang Lee's movies "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eat Drink Man Woman". If one sees these movies - both of them outstanding pieces of work - one might assume that only these sorts of movies come from Taiwan.Well, it's time to burst that bubble, because you've never seen anything like Pearl Chang's "Lang nu bai mo" (alternately called "Wolf Devil Woman" and "Wolfen Devil" in English). This has to be one of the single wackiest things ever scripted and filmed. The plot centers on a wolf-raised woman whose parents an evil lord murdered, so she's out for vengeance, but it's an excuse to show off some of the zaniest moves. And the dubbing? It makes the bad guy sound like Yosemite Sam!Basically, this is some of the most fun that you'll ever have watching a movie. I have no doubt that they had a lot of fun filming it. A great time.

The evil-worshiping red devil slaughters the parents of a young girl who is rescued from sure death by snow wolves.They raise her and over the course of twenty years teach her the wolfen ninja skill.She hopes to get her revenge on the "Red Devil".This crazy exploitation flick is easily one of the weirdest HK horror/martial-arts flicks I have ever seen.There are crimson clad ninjas,kungfu gorillas,voodoo dolls,zombies and hopping vampires among the ocean of trashy entertainment.Completely off the wall cult flick with enough gore and cheesy martial arts to satisfy even the most demanding fan of cinema bizarro.Bunny lovers beware!Cute bunnies are butchered in "Wolfen Ninja".Give this oddity a look.7 wolfen ninjas out of 10.

Wolven ninja is an amateur poorly made childish lame silly little film about some guy and his mentally impaired sidekick who are on a quest to find a white plant in the mountains so they can defeat some guy who wears a sparkling silver kkk uniform with a bright red skull and crossbones on the hat. The hero and side kick get attacked by wolves aka German Shepard at one point and there's this girl (the hero of the film) who was raised by the German Shepard. Anyway this girl chases a rabbit at one point and she wears this dead German shepard pelt on her pack with the actual head of the German shepard still attached to the rest of the pelt. Are we to believe that she killed one of the German Shepard that raised her and wears it as a warning to the other German Shepard not to mess around with her? This question and countless others must be quickly abandoned if you want to keep on top of this mangled storyline.German shepard girl bites the male hero's hand and it draws blood but he stays perfectly calm and then he snaps her spine out of place to make her more tame. he then teaches her how to speak English about 5 seconds later she speaks fluent English! It turns out German shepard girl ate the flower hero guy and bumbling mentally impaired sidekick searched so hard for so they return home to the oppression of the LSD taking head of the Asian KKK and a whole bunch of random stuff happens.The costumes and vomit inducing electronic sound effects are so bad I had a flashback of the time I watched Turkish star wars. Its nearly that cheap! There is some god awful wirework for the sub par but violent fight scenes too.the editing is all over the place. One scene starts with our female hero being thrown in a well by furious villagers. The mentally impaired sidekick goes to help her and then the scene cuts to a scene with the girl and side kick washed up of the shore of a river in the wilderness where gandolf HK edition revives them, instantly cut to ninjas on horseback fighting our heroes, instantly cut to ninjas fighting our heroes at a castle, instantly cut to desert where our heroes are attacked by sand ninjas, instantly cut to Asian kkk cavernous hideout.Around this point I fell asleep but by the power of the golden ninja warrior i dared to press play on my VCR the next day to complete the wasting of the full 90 minutes or so of my life.*spoiler* the conclusion has the Asian kkk defeated. That's all i can remember happening except for how abruptly the film ends. German shepard girl is injured and looks like she might die but we never find out because mid scene the movie abruptly ends.*end spoiler* I recommend this only to hardcore bad film tolerators/apologists. It did make me laugh but there are many worse/better/more laughably awful and pathetic ninja films around.
