Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back

Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back is an international blockbuster written by Stephen Chow and directed by Tsui Hark. The film is the sequel to Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, one of the highest grossing Chinese films ever, and has been a huge hit in its first few weeks of release this year. The film stars Canadian actor Kris Wu, Lin Gengxin, Yao Chen, Lin Yun, Bao Bei’er, and former Toronto Raptor Mengke Bateer.

Tang Monk brings three disciples on a journey to the West. On the outside, everything seems harmonious. However, tension is present beneath the surface, and their hearts and minds are not in agreement. After a series of demon-capturing events, the monk and his disciples gain mutual understanding of each others’ hardships and unease. Finally, they resolve their inner conflict and work together to become an all-conquering, demon-exorcising team.
