Review: The sequel to 1985s hit movie. Many people find this to be a weak link to the series, due to the action being replaced by a heart warming story…and cool stunts! ha ha
Lam Ching-Ying is great in the movie, no flaws and teaming him up with Yuen Biao is class. Back to the days of the Prodigal Son! We even have Moon Lee giving a guest appearance.
A great piece of dialogue is when Lam Ching-Ying has to mention his past credentials to James Tien to proof he knows what to do when it comes to vampires, here’s his exact speech;
“My master Sammo had Spooky Encounters, Now he’s met the Dead and The Deadly and last year I caught Mr. Vampire. I’m Lin Cheng-Ying”
If you don’t ‘get it’, Spooky Encounters, Mr. Vampire and Dead and The Deadly are all ‘Spooky Comedies’ from Sammo Hung and all starring Lam Ching-Ying too!
Final Thoughts, Awesome film and very underrated!
