The Legend of Eight Knights (1980)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Meteor City is planning an assault on the peaceful city of Yung. The king of Meteor City has employed the services of a demonic witch, with skills in black magic are second to none. However, Yung city is protected by 8 saintly knights of the Chinese eight virtues; Filial Piety, Sibling Harmony, Dedication, Trustworthiness, Propriety, Sacrifice, and Honor. With their saintly powers they manage to fight off the attackers and the demon witches magic powers, thereby restoring peace to the region.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
