Peacock King had the potential to be a classic, but it failed on one major point...the story. The main story is obvious I suppose, but there are lots of little bits added into it that don't come to anything. So it could have had lots of plot twists, but it fails in that way.

As 'Sydneyguy' mentioned on his review, the special effects are terrible, even for 1989. Compared to 'Iceman Cometh’, which was made about the same time, the effects were much better in that.

All in all, I don't agree with most of the reviews for this, I did find it dull, and watching it for a second time recently after all these years, it looks pretty bad in my opinion.

Rating: 2/5

(This rating is compared to other movies of the same genre released in the same year.)
