The Boxer's Omen (魔, Mó, Magic) is a 1983 Hong Kong horror film directed by Kuei Chih-Hung and produced by Shaw Brothers Studio.
A year earlier, Qing had himself traveled to Hong Kong to break apart a gang of black magicians, killing one and disrupting the rituals of another.
Qing has nevertheless sustained his soul through his powers, and predicted that a twin of his from a past life (Hung) would arrive three months following his bodily death.
Trapped in his decaying body, Qing asks Hung to become a monk, defeat the black magicians, and help him achieve immortality.
During Baluo's fight with Bu Bo, the remaining black magicians begin a series of rites to take revenge on the monk, eventually creating an undead warrior.
Baluo returns to Thailand to kill the remaining magicians, and he and his teacher extract an invulnerability-granting liquid from a plant in an abandoned temple.
Baluo travels to Nador Buddhist Lamasery in Kathmandu (actually filmed at Swayambhunath), where he finds the relic guarded by a series of magical defenses.
[5] Donald Guarisco of AllMovie gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of five stars, criticizing its characterizations as simplistic and noting that "the story starts to drag a little bit in its last third," but commending the finale for its "uniquely Buddhist slant on the concept of a battle between two wizards".
