The Silver Spear (1978)
The single most bizarre and entertaining Chinese martial arts extravaganza ever made. The Silver Spear is actually the villain in this film, but he's not the worst villain in the story. Oh no. The worst villain is a vampire.... we think. We're not sure because he has plastic Dracula teeth and never bites anyone. But make no mistake, he is the worst. He has no peers. He has no family, no friends, no morals either. In fact, he's lacking about 9 other things too, thus his name: "No Thirteen." Because, when a villain chooses a scary name, the most appropriate thing to do is to be named according to the amount of THINGS you DON'T have. This starts out as 4 warriors competing for the hand of Madame Green Plums daughter in marriage, and turns into God knows what. Like I said, this one is in a class by itself.

Reason 1: You will never find a more bizarre film.
Reason 2: Buddhist warrior says "Amitaba" frequently and wears a shrine on his back.
Reason 3: "No Thirteen" is a guy's name and he wears Dracula teeth. -
