Many of the actors appear throughout the series of films, sometimes playing similar characters, and occasionally in completely different roles. King of the pack is martial arts actor and stuntman Lam Ching-ying, who plays various versions of a Taoist Ghostbuster in each movie.

After the huge success of Mr. Vampire, Hong Kong audiences were desperate for more vampire-hopping action and the films’ producers were more than happy to oblige. A steady stream of jiangshi content was produced over the following years. In Mr Vampire II an archaeologist and his students unwittingly set free a family of hopping vampires who wreak h...

This is especially the case when our heroes fight a group of ruthless bandits in a forest. Even though there are supernatural and comedy elements, the sword figh...

The fourth movie, despite starring action maestro Chin Ka Lok, features the least action. It’s only really in the finale that we get to see that particular hard-hitting, acrobatic martial arts choreography that Hong Kong movies do so well.
Eureka has delivered another beautifully- presented collection of classics. The restoration job on each film’s picture looks fantastic in high definition. An area in which Eureka are steadily improving is the brand new featurettes as part of the extras. Mike Leeder and Arne Venema provide two fascinating featurettes. In one, a real Taoist priest ex...
