Please help ID these movies

[Rambler]

I need help finding the titles of a few movies for a friend of mine.

1) It's a 70's, early 80's movie. Some chinese opera play is involved but also it's about a Sky God vs Sky God. One girl gave birth to a Sky God. It was part human, part puppet.Then all of a sudden, there's a battle between Heaven and Hell. The way they fought was like traditional Chinese Opera play fight. A bit like Heaven an Hell, but that's not it.

2) My friend says David Chiang kills with metal playing cards in one movie. I can't figure out which one. There's a guy like that in Challenge of the Gamesters. Any other possibilities, or is my friend mistaken?

Thanks!
