Devil Sorcery should have been called Baldie finds a Bride. A bald chap is having a shitty time during his sorcery internship, as his boss likes to poison him for fun and ruin his nights out by appearing as an apparition in Baldie's pints. In turn Baldie relieves himself by sleeping with his master's wife. Of course he is busted almost immediately, stabs his master to death, runs off and finds himself cursed. The curse in question giving Baldie bad body odour and facial sores, in addition to turning him evil or something. From hereon out he spends his days trying to not get his smelly self kicked out of restaurants, summoning laughing krasue in the jungle and kidnapping chicks. He finally ends up cursing the poor bar-girl girlfriend of the film's protagonist/random sideplot dude, and Herman Kwan is called in to save the day. As usual, Kwan contributes with little more than a couple of short rants about eight trigrams and closeups of him smirking. Actually, its not even Kwan who saves the day in the end, as the master sorcerer - who I assumed was dead - stumbles off a bus right before the final showdown, points a finger at baldie and immolates him on the spot - THE END. Kwan didn't even have to bring out the dog's blood for this one. I reckon this thing had a lot of nudity removed, seeing as there was a bunch of shower scenes that was so soft and blurry it was unclear whether someone was even in the shot. No deviation from the standard black magic plot whatsoever, but still quite amusing!
