After the wild success of the original A Chinese Ghost Story, a slew of imitators popped out of the Hong Kong filmmaking factory. One of the first, Golden Swallow, appeared in theaters only five months after the debut of A […]

In fact, I […]

The rest of Vendetta doesn’t quite live up to the blistering first 20 minutes, but it’s a lot of fun, anyway.
Hung Long (a scary Tommy Wong) is one of those total criminal badasses from the Mainland. Along with his brother Tony (Leung Sap-Yat) […]

The plot really isn’t the problem per se.
Treasure hunter Kwok Tun-wong (Chung Faat) and […]

A Chinese Ghost Story II may lack the sublime moments of the first film (Wu Ma’s impromptu song and dance, Leslie Cheung hiding in the bathtub with Joey Wang), but it doesn’t have a lousy first act either.

Just because a movie was extremely popular with the Hong Kong audience doesn’t mean it’s any good. Think of all the early Stephen Chow nonsense comedies or Jackie Chan’s Lucky Star flicks. On the other side of the ocean, Porky’s […]
