1985 · 98 min

A playful, spooky romp mixing slapstick comedy with hopping vampire chills and martial-arts action.

Genres
Action, Comedy, Horror
Overview
In Republican China, the planned reburial of a village elder goes awry and the corpse resurrects into a hopping vampire, leading a Taoist priest and his two disciples to attempt to stop him, but not without getting involved with lusty ghosts, a jealous police inspector, and the many talisman-bound vampires at their disposal.
How it feels
Whimsical, campy, eerie and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About
Deception, loyalty, love, survival
Content
Mild violence, gore and sexual content. No swearing.
