Has anyone coined the term wuxiasatsu yet?

Child of Peach combines tokusatsu-esque effects and makeup with the fantastic and wonderous martial arts of wuxia. The movie treads territories of cinematic insanity with things like a urinating peach and a humanoid shark character (think Kisame from Naruto). It’s a smorgasbord of spectacle unconcerned with logic or cohesion. There’s a plethora of physical hijinks and absurd humour. At one point, child guardian ninja characters turn into animals and piss in the adults’ cups for revenge.

The score resembles The Neverending Story and similarly features a child protagonist of great power and ability. Here though, the child possesses super strength with such feats as a Commando log carrying shot. The middle chunk features the peach child hilariously aging instantaneously thanks to fairy magic. This bypasses any time needed for the hero to develop, shortcutting to the climactic battles which thankfully take up about the last third of the movie.

While the humour didn’t connect completely, it feels impossible to not tip your hat to the commitment of absurd fantasy and self-reveling. The martial arts are quite good, even more so considering a great deal of the fight scenes prominently feature the child actors. Not to mention there is a respectable amount of gore and shocking violence including an exploding head and real people lit on fire. The true final battle, between the villain, King Devil, and spoilers, I’m not telling is a sight to behold. Flabbergasted.

I had never heard of Chen Chun-Liang before this film, but considering what I just witnessed and a peak at the rest of his filmography, he may very well be one of the best kept secrets in all of cinema.

I wish I could find a restored version of this film because I had a great time with this. From the start of the film you have three kids named after animals and these two adults that have a kid then a demon attacks them and the kid gets saved by a giant peach. This film seems ridiculous and it is but it all works. Most of the film is with this elderly couple that desperately want a kid and they are extremely funny. I didn’t quite expect the humor to hit as well as it did. I’m surprised the couple and the peach kid bonded so well so quickly. Usually, I would complain for more screen time but I really felt chemistry between them. The production design and costume design are flawless. The film looks beautiful, there are so many vibrant colors around and the thunder effect in some fight scenes helps as well. The fights are great especially with the high jumping, flying, and acrobatic work. The ending of the final battle didn’t quite hit it for me because that certain moment was ridiculous but not in a good way. There was a thing where little kids in movies knew martial arts and somehow that was cool. Overall, Child of Peach is a great, fun action comedy and I hope one day they give it a better restoration.
