Bear with me as I throw together a quick collage of this anime movie I loved as a kid... I'm trying to find it again.

It was mythological, and pretty bloody. It was English-dubbed, and I think they aired it on the Family Film Festival. Had to do with demons and gods, and the hero was very Bruce-Leeish. There was a winged dog-looking angel that was boiled in oil at one point. A scene where a demon-disguised-as-a-woman ate a human arm. One of the character's techniques was that his arms would grow long when he'd attack... People would attack each other on clouds. I remember an older guy sniffing out a demon in a crowd - same one disguised as a human woman. I'm trying to remember details!

Does anyone remember this old Japanese cartoon (I'm pretty sure it was Japanese)? I've googled what I can remember of it, ebayed it, animenewsnetworked it, and I can't find it anywhere...

It would be the same vintage as Alakazam the Great, made in the 60's, or perhaps 70's.

My brothers and I found the old VHS tape it was recorded on back in the 80's, but someone had recorded Buffy the Vampire Slayer over it about 8 years ago. Sad Sad! All my mother wrote on the tape was "Bruce Lee Chinese cartoon"...

I don't think it was Chinese, but I don't know.

Any of you old school kids out there who grew up in the 80's remember the title?

No kidding, huh? But for the life of me, I don't know what else she would have gotten it from. She always recorded shows from that program. I was just a kid...

No bells?

I'm just guessing here, but it might really be a Chinese cartoon. Them Chinese are really into this sort of mythological stuff I think, what with Nezha and Journey to the West (and a bunch of others too), though in both of them cartoons, I don't remember a Bruce Lee-ish hero.
