Synopsis:
During the mid to late 80s, popular Taiwanese actress Lin Hsiao Lou starred in a series of three films based on the Japanese folk tale Momotaro. Referenced in numerous films, dramas, and books, the story tells of a couple who discover a boy with magical powers inside a giant peach, and adopt him as their son. Directed by Chiu Chung Hing, Child of Peach was released in 1986, and its sequel Magic of Spell (a.k.a. Child of Peach 2) came soon after. Filled with high-flying action and old school special effects, Magic of Spell is a classic, yet zany tale of good vs. evil that entertains on many levels.
Peach Boy (Lin Hsiao Lou) and his mother live in the village of Taohua. One day, an admirer named Shao Yi Duan shows up and asks Peach Boy to take him as disciple. At the same time, a sinister elder begins his evil plan to defeat Peach Boy. He kidnaps young boys and girls to practice dark arts, and even attacks Peach Boy's mother. Armed with his staff, the enraged Peach Boy is determined to seek revenge for his mother and rid the world of this great evil. Chinese with English Subtitles
