Infamous classic from producer Tsui Hark and once again, a blue print for many copycat and spoof films, A Chinese Ghost Story stills stands tall as one of the best - even more so than its 2011 remake that seemed to switch charm for more CGI.
Brilliantly directed by fight master Ching Sui Tung, with superb effects, great performances from all, and great action pieces including the fantastic Wu Ma as a sword wielding priest defending Leslie Cheung against the beautiful Joey Wong, an army of undead, demons and the world's largest, killer tongue.
Plenty to see, plenty to love – A Chinese Ghost Story is a fantastic piece of Hong Kong cinema and well worth a place in any movie fan's collection.
