Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray for Peter Pau’s Zhong Kui: Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal (read our review), a 2015 fantasy actioner starring Chen Kun (Mojin: The Lost Legend), Li Bing Bing (The Meg) and Winston Chao (Eat Drink Man Woman).
Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal (aka Zhongkui) is the story of the legendary demon slayer from Chinese mythology, Zhong Kui. Typically depicted as a scruffy looking big guy, Zhong Kui is here played by the considerably less scruffy looking Chen Kun (Painted Skin: The Resurrection). Once every millennium there is a day when the demons in Hell can seek reincarnation with the use of the Dark Crystal. The heroic Zhong Kui is tasked with defending the Dark Crystal in the city of Hu, where the demons will most certainly attempt to steal it away. Sure enough, a group of demons disguised as beautiful female entertainers arrive in the days before the reincarnation event. The group is led by the enchanting Snow Girl (Li Bingbing), who resembles a woman from Zhong Kui’s past. Distracted by memories of a lost love, Zhong Kui’s defenses weaken at the most inopportune moment.
