For Life or Death is a 1996 action and drama film with a runtime of one hour and thirty-five minutes. The story follows a man named Kaan Woo, portrayed by James Lew, who attempts to escape a dark past involving a cult of druid-like monk warriors. These warriors wear brown shrouds and possess mystical powers. Because Woo seeks to leave the organization, the cult's leader, an evil queen named Ling Li played by Nancy Kwan, dispatches her servant, Sir Xavier, to eliminate him. Richard Norton plays the role of Sir Xavier. During a confrontation between Woo and these dark forces, a supernatural event occurs in which Woo's soul is transferred into the body of a homeless individual named Earl Stockman, played by Mark Pellegrino. Following this transition, the character finds himself in possession of mystical kung-fu abilities. The narrative follows this individual, referred to as Superbum, as he prepares to confront the evil cult. The film was released in the United States on January 23, 1996.
