Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Boxer's Omen is a 1983 Shaw Brothers horror-drama-Mind Screw film directed by Kuei Chi-Hung.What started off as a rather typical drama, where the protagonist, Chan Hung (Philip Ko) witnessed his younger brother, Chan Wing, a Hong Kong boxer partaking in a tournament in Bangkok, ends up getting crippled by the cheating champion Bu Bo (Bolo Yeung), quickly takes a nosedive into pure, mind-melting insanity. As Chan Hung attempts to avenge his brother's defeat, he ends up getting dragged into a conspiracy involving some evil South-East Asian voodoo cult, and finds out his previous life as a priest and his destiny to stop the awakening of a voodoo demon.A whole lot of drug-fueled, off-the-rails craziness ensues, including reanimated bat skeletons, giant spiders, reanimated crocodile spirits, flying demon heads, skinless female demons who bleeds blue, half-human and half-spider hybrids, living skulls of crocodiles, potions made from human brains cooked in human skulls...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Wait, what does this have to do with boxing again?See also Seeding of a Ghost, released by the same studios in the same year. | |

Bilingual Bonus: The voodoo priest is chanting in Tagalog. For instance, when reanimating the skeletal bat, he clearly said "Dali! Dali!" (Hurry!) | |

Body Horror | |
| The Boxer's Omen / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Most of the effects of the voodoo spell. Notably, the unfortunate man whose body ends up bubbling all over before popping one after another. It's as disturbing as it sounds◊. | |

Dem Bones | |
| The Boxer's Omen / int_c3f6e68 | comment |
Dem Bones: While conducting the voodoo ritual, the priest causes a dead bat to be melted down to bones... and then animate those bones so it stood up and starts walking jerkily across the room, in one of the many, many trippy visuals throughout the film. | |
