Woochi (Dong-hun Choi, 2009)

A sort of remake of Les Visiteurs with duelling wizards and demons, Woochi chucks a cocky Taoist sorcerer 500 years forward into the present in pursuit of wire-working kung fu spirits. He's accompanied by a gurning comic relief sidekick, of course, and three more in the form of bumbling minor deities. The comedy is hopelessly hackneyed for the most part, however, so it's left to the FX-laden action to carry the film, and it manages this at a jaunty pace without actually coming up with any innovative trumps. Then it vanishes in a puff of smoke.
