Taiwan Ghost Comedy

 

 (imdb)

BUSINESS TRIP TO THE NETHERWORLD-(Dao Yin Jian Chu Cha)-1990-A guy Li Bin (Ching Huang Yang) is killed in a car accident. However, he comes back as a ghost no one can see. At first, he has a hard time believing but he meets Mah Tung who convinces him. 

There are a lot of gags in this comedy ghost story. Unfortunately, many go on too long especially the part where a guy wanders around because he thinks he's invisible. Hopping vampires show up later. The version I saw ended abruptly but I didn't care because it wasn't very good anyway. From Taiwan. Written and directed by Chen-Kuo Chao.

Robo-Ho

 

 (imdb)

 

ROBO VAMPIRE-1988-This crazy paste up job of a movie seems to concern a gang's search for a cache of drugs plus hopping vampires controlled by a monk. A group of mercenaries goes into the jungle to rescue a kidnapped narcotics agent. 

Meanwhile a "Robo-Cop" type fighter (Harry Miles) roams around killing bad guys. The whole thing is a confused mess with Robo-Clone battling a monstrous hopping vampire in the too long finale. 

This Hong Kong production was of course directed and written by “the king of chaotic movies” Godfrey Ho. Some sources say it also uses footage from another movie (not an uncommon move by Ho).

Part 2

 

 (imdb)

SHAOLIN VS. EVIL DEAD-2: ULTIMATE POWER-2007-Not nearly as entertaining as part one, as there is a long back story for the first hour (including a short animated story) which is rather disorienting since part one ended so abruptly. It tells the origins of how White (Gordon Liu) and Hak become brothers. Hak has a poison in his body that makes him bad. Their dad (Siu-Ming Lao) also has poison in his body and before he dies he hands everything over to White (he feels Hak is too mean). Great long fight finale, swordplay and a legion of hopping vampires. Director Douglas Kung also ends this one rather abruptly.
