Some Taoist priest and his underlings must stop a Japanese demon from doing something. As with a lot of HK movies of this nature, An Eternal Combat starts off promising with its mysticism, wire fu action and weirdness to only delve into unnecessary stupidity. That stupidity being HK comedy. The comedy took up 60% of the film and that is where hope for a crack headed extravaganza started to diminish. I wasn't too fond of the time travel aspect either but it was forgivable for the most part. But when Anthony Wong made his presence known, I was happy as hell. He did save this movie with his psychotic performance. The church scene was epic and it shows Anthony's brilliant acting performance to a tee. So hence, it is, at times, a chore to watch but in the end it turned out good.
