 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A boy seeks a sentient, thousand-year-old ancient ginseng to save his mother who's been attacked by a Nazi zombie, where if he fails to find the plant within a day his mother could become a Nazi zombie herself.... what, you needed more plot? Really? Okay...Three Headed Monster is a 1988 schlocktastic fantasy action movie directed by Wang Chu-Chin.Inspired by popular films at the time such as The Neverending Story and Labyrinth, the movie is Hong Kong's attempt at mixing fantasy action (previously used in Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain) in a more kid-friendly setting.In the rural Chinese mountains, Ming, a young boy, stumbles across the ancient, sentient living ginseng, a thousand-year-old Plant Person, who saved his life after he was bitten by a poisonous snake. Believing what he saw to be a hallucination, Ming had to seek the ancient ginseng again when his mother gets attacked by a zombie in Nazi attire and is put into a deep sleep. But along the way, a bunch of cultists, led by the Hunter Princess (Cynthia Khan), are seeking the ginseng too, and Ming had to stay a step ahead of his pursuers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })And YES, there is a Three-headed Monster in this film.Cynthia Khan would find greater success in her next role, her debut as an ass-kicking policewoman in the In The Line of Duty film series.Not to be confused with Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster.

 Batman Gambit: The thousand-year-old ginseng has forseen his own death will come, from being devoured by the three-headed monster, which is why it actually poisoned itself beforehand before it dies. When the monster devours what's left of the ginseng, it ends up severely poisoning itself, allowing the Princess to finally destroy him.

 Alas, Poor Yorick: The decapitated head of the thousand-year-old ginseng, upon being found by Ming and the Princess, where Ming desperately cradles the ginseng's head in his arms and beg him to wake up. He did.
