The Thousand Faces of Dunjia

The Thousand Faces of Dunjia (2017) is available to watch online — a Chinese-Hong Kong fantasy action film directed by Yuen Woo-ping, the martial arts choreographer behind The Matrix and Kill Bill. Runtime: 113 minutes.

Evil demons are bleeding into the human world, and only a covert order of fighters stands between chaos and collapse. A young constable and a girl with a past she hasn't fully explained both get pulled into that order — which is exactly where things get complicated. Zhou Dongyu and Ni Ni anchor the female leads; Huang Xiaoming turns up in a role that takes a while to place. The film draws on Ba Gua mythology and leans hard into wire-fu spectacle and large-scale production design.

Made for fans of the wuxia genre — the kind of thing that plays better on screen than it reads in summary. Stream The Thousand Faces of Dunjia online on iFILM.
