Review

 

Sammo Hung plays Courageous Cheung, a cuckolded husband who faces a series of supernatural challenges from his wife's wealthy lover. First, Cheung must survive a night in a house haunted by a bloodthirsty vampire. From there, things just get worse, and more comical. For those unfamiliar with the Chinese horror genre, the film is a wild ride through the supernatural mythology and folklore of China: hopping corpses, supernatural possession by a monkey god, the gratuitous sacrifice of a chicken, and lots of chanting by Taoist priests. For Chinese viewers in the early 1980s, the film was unusual in other ways: director Sammo Hung mixed comedy, martial arts, and supernatural horror into this bouillabaise of a film, establishing the genre of kung-fu horror comedy...

I got this DVD thinking it was another film i had seen on TV, it wasnt but i wasnt disapointed at all, this film is brilliant, even better than the one i thought it was. The choreography is great, especially when he meets the vampire in the temple he has to stay at. Definitly worth the purchase and recommended to any one who likes Sammo Hung and Vampires.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Kung fu horror comedy classic.
