Xiong is a young Chinese man who has come to Thailand in order to find a Thai boxer who has crippled his brother. Strange hallucinations lead him to a temple where he finds his karmic twin brother, a priest who was killed by an evil magician. Xiong will have to fight evil to save both the priest’s soul and his own.

The Boxer’s Omen is one of the most extraordinary films of all times, filled with absurd situations and jaw-dropping scenes which cannot be compared to anything you’ve ever seen. It combines fierce kung-fu action, monstrous bat attacks, fantastic bugs emerging from various human orifices, eel-vomiting, wizard battles and many more bizarre and hilarious ingredients. Thanks to our collaborators from Fantastic Fest, you will have a unique opportunity to watch this ultra-rare cult gem from a 35mm film copy.
