Taoist Master : Kylin (2020): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2020, Taoist Master : Kylin is a notable film directed by Chen Cheng, running about 75 minutes.

What it’s about. Chen Cheng’s Taoist Master: Kylin is the quick fire sequel to Wu Yingxiang’s Taoist Master (released just a few months ago, already online), with Fan Siu Wong returning in the role of Zhang Taoling, the founder of the first organized form of Taoism, flanked by his disciple (Li Lubing, also returning). This time, Master Zhang arrives in a village near Mount Yun Jing, where Kylin, the legendary God of the Mountain, is rumored to prey on hunters and those foolhardy enough to venture into the mountain. While Taoist Master was on the higher end of Chinese direct-to-VOD films, this sequel is disappointingly average: it lacks the refreshing presence of Zhang Dong (who played a feisty huntress in the first film), it’s criminally low on fight scenes (one of the original’s strong suits), and the plot is the usual thudding supernatural set-up resolved with the censorship-placating hallucination card.

Who’s in it. Taoist Master : Kylin stars Louis Fan Siu-Wong as Zhang Daoling, Alan Kuo and Li Lubing as Wang Chang.
