... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreChing-Ying Lam is very famous for his ghost busting Taoist priest in the Mr.Vampire series and any horror comedy movie with Chinese hopping vampire after that so in 1990 his battle with the force of evil one again happen in the modern times when science take over and the old traditional being left behind.This time we still get the slaptick humor from his co-star and many crazy ghost busting techniques that too awesome to put into words.Magic Cop is very entertaining and a must see for fan of Ching-Ying Lam and Hong-Kong cinema in general
... View MoreOne of my all-time favorites. A Taoist priest/police officer in the modern day faces down a rash of hopping vampires, as well as a sorceress whose abilities match his own.The action scenes in this movie are just a joy to watch. Ching-Ying Lam's character performs complex, incense-heavy banishment rituals in cartoonish flurries of ultra-precise acrobatics, drawing glyphs with melted wax and controlling wafts of smoke with elegant absurdity. It really has to be seen.I don't want to spoil much. Incredibly entertaining, delightfully fun, and completely ridiculous in the best way. Absolutely worth a watch.
... View MoreThis movie is fantastic fun and by this movie is fantastic fun I mean this movie is fantastic and I also mean that this movie is really, really, fun!The subtitles can get a bit annoying sometimes especially when there is a lot of action on the screen which you are missing in order to read the lines, then have to back it up to re watch it all over again, but this is the kind of thing I would complain about any time I watch a foreign movie that has subtitles, so I can't really attack it too much for that.Great action, some really funny parts, and the acting and story are better than you would expect.
... View MoreLam Ching Ying is one of my favorite Chinese actors and when he passed on I was greatly saddened. Although I can't pick my favorite of the movies that he's done, as there are so many great ones, "Magic Cop" is up there. Lam once again plays his "Ghostbusting Taoist monk", but in this one he's a cop (but still Ghost-busting and Taoist) This film will bring a smile to your face, it's action packed & it holds up on multiple viewings. What's NOT to like?? Still not sold? The writer of this film also wrote suck greats as "In the line of Duty", the hilarious "God of Cookery", AND Shaolin Soccer.My Grade: ADVD Extras: Just the theatrical trailer & a short bio on Lam Ching Ying
