This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreOn the one night of the year that spirits are free to roam the earth, Chun Sing (Billy Chong) is visited by the ghost of his murdered father, who tells his son where to find his killer, Kam Tai Fu (Lo Lieh), so that he can avenge his death. On his way, Chun finds a magic book that enables him to call on the help of the dead, which comes in very useful when he faces a powerful wizard (Chin-Lai Sung) in the employ of Kam Tai Fu. Problems arise, however, when the black magician manages to steal the book. Can Chun, aided by a government agent investigating the murders, find a way to defeat the wizard and get revenge on Kam Tai Fu? Of course he can—that goes without saying—but what happens along the way is a little less predictable For example, who could guess that the one and only Count Dracula would be summoned to take part in the fight between good and evil? Not me, that's for sure. I also didn't expect to see full frontal female nudity during a sex scene, or a ghost with extendable arms, or a pair of demons with tongues that would make Gene Simmons jealous, or the wizard spewing streams of fire from his mouth, or Kam Tai Fu being pursued by the flaming scalps of his victims. Nosiree, that's not what I expected at all. I did, of course, expect lots of martial arts, but was surprised by just how impressive the fighting was, Billy Chong performing far better than he did in his previous supernatural martial arts outing, Kung Fu Zombie. The moves in this film are brilliantly choreographed and perfectly executed, making this a treat for fight fans, even if the spooky stuff doesn't appeal all that much. Oh, and unlike Kung Fu Zombie, this one keeps the silly comedy to an absolute minimum.7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for the inexplicable moment where a group of giggling women defeat the wizard's magic by flinging flannels at him.
... View MoreDuring a supernatural encounter, a young kung fu fighter learns that his deceased father was murdered by an evil tyrant, and expects to see his death avenged. Enlisting the aid of The Undead, said youth sets forth on his dangerous mission, armed with an ancient book which is allegedly a source of awesome magical power.A truly bizarre and thoroughly disorienting treat for lovers of all things weird, Yin ji presents ghost, zombies, and vampires in thrilling kung fu action. You could ask for more? 'course not.A worthwhile oddity, and technically more professional than it really ought to be.5.5/10
... View MoreThis movie was so bad I could hardly catch you up. It is a poorly dubbed Chinese Kung foo movie with Ghosts/Ghouls/Zombies, they never do make up there mind, act like they died in a tragic short bus accident. The acting is sub par. The only thing that could save it is if Bob Odenkirk used this as a sequel to Kung Pow. You have a pansy villain who will always fear the purple nurple and a black or is that a yellow magician who has no qualms about killing but draws the line at watching people have sex, Yeah like that wasn't suspicious. 3 Friends and i Watched this movie about 16 times for A MST3K experiment. The Trauma is still painful. Oh yeah Dracula shows up after the magician waves a wad of 100 dollar bills,In actuality he looks like a goth art student.And the love interest's terrible flatulence scared the evil ghost away. because in life he was a poor bum and now is a worse ghost. We even used IMDb in our gag when we found out it got a 7 out of 10, a frelling 7. And now I see 10 people gave it a 10 out of 10. If you have a chance to see this movie. Run, leave whatever possessions you have and keep on running. If you don't, my friends John, Barry,Dok, and I will have a big told you so. We watch bad movies so you don't have to
... View MoreI first heard of this one while watching the fight scene highlights videotape THIS IS KUNG FU back in 1989. The tape featured a delirious trailer for this film which has tag lines that mangle the English language to an alarming degree (example:"Ghost seeking revenge evils are deadly scared!" and "Human heart annoying both spirits and human!), and my friends and I watched the trailer over and over in disbelief.I finally found the movie about two years later in a cheesy hole-in-the-wall video store that was going out of business, a victim of the Disneyfication of Times Square. The wait was worth it, because the martial arts were pretty good and the script is a ludicrous dialogue fan's wet dream! The prize goes to the scene wherein the villainous sorcerer realizes he's about to get his ass kicked, so he throws some spells into the air and screams "Count Dracula! Come to my aid!" The second he says this, the sky turns to night, the full moon pops up, a wolf howls and then from out of nowhere Count Dracula himself (the only white guy in the entire film) swoops from out of the sky screaming "I'M COMING!!! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!" And don't ask how the heroes finally defeat the sorcerer (hint:it involves the aid of a bunch of prostitutes who are experiencing "monthly women's concerns")! A unique cinematic experience!
