Unofficial Mr. Vampire ripoff
16 October 2005
This unofficial movie that hoped to capitalize on the original Mr. Vampire film, it came out before the official sequel, is good enough up to a point. Said point being when Pauline Wong as the second corpse that is reanimated starts mimicking every move of a certain character that she becomes bonded to. At this scene the movie starts to degenerate immensely. If you wish to delve into movies dealing with Gyonshi, or the term for the great idea of the hopping vampire, don't start with this one go back to the amazingly great "Mr. Vampire", SKIP the kid oriented Part 2, watch the delightful parts 3 and 4, and IF you're feeling more adventurous THEN give this move a go and watch the strangest crossover EVER when the hopping vampires meet N!xau in "The gods must be crazy" parts 3 through 5

My Grade: C-

DVD Extras: Commentary by Ric Meyers; a compilation 'Martial Arts Theater' trailer; and Trailers for "Running out of Time", "Dragon Inn", "Armageddon", "the Duel", "Body Weapon", "Fist Power", and "Deadful Melody"
