John Woo’s Weirdest? To Hell with the Devil!

I thinks it’s well known among HK film fans that John Woo has released some pretty weak films before (and also after) creating his great heroic bloodshed classics and historic war epics, but the trailer for To Hell with the Devil (Mo deng tian shi) Woo’s 1981 remake of Bedazzled shows us a whole new level of Woo weirdness! The film is about a loser who sells his soul (and obviously his whole brain) to the devil for some success just to get it back later with the help of an annoying priest. It full of really strange scenes like a real-life Space Invaders/Galaxian and even (but just slightly) surpasses M:I 2 in terms of lack of reality…

To Hell with the Devil has been re-released on March 20 by Joy Sales as a part of the Legendary DVD Collection.
