The Weird Man is popular director Chang Cheh's bizarre screen adaptation of the famous Chinese literary classic Romance Of The Three Kingdoms. Chang is famous for his lone swordsman and hero films, and freakily, The Weird Man is no exception. The film's star Cheng Tien-chi playing a righteous, beheaded priest with supernatural powers that returns from the dead to wreak havoc against one of the corrupt kingdoms, making Cheng a heroic "swords-ghost." It's insane sanity to the max.
