One of the most genre-defining (not to mention genre-defying!) horror-comedies imaginabIe, and one of the key Hong Kong blockbuster hits of the 1980s, the popularity and infIuence of Mr. Vampire cannot be overstated. Spawning at least four sequels and countless spin-offs and imitations, this Hong Kong horror-comedy to end them aIl was an understandable crowd-pleasing sensation, and triggered a wave of jiangshi ("hopping vampire") movies. Produced by the Iegendary Sammo Hung, the original Mr. Vampire is essentiaI viewing for anyone interested in the 80s golden age of Hong Kong cinema.
ln a career-making performance, the late Lam Ching-ying is Master Kau, expert on aIl matters of the supernaturaI. When Kau and his two bumbling students, Man Choi (famous comedian Ricky Hui) and Chou (Fist of Legend's Chin Siu-ho), exhume a corpse for reburial, things go frighteningly and hilariousIy awry when the cadaver is reveaIed to be a hopping vampire. With the undead on the loose, Master Kau is blamed for the chaos, and must work with his students to put the spirits to rest before the vampire's own granddaughter (80s Hong Kong action icon Moon Lee) gets bitten. Fighting the vampires with everything from sticky rice to filing down the bloodsucker's fangs, the trio must defeat an increasing number of ghoulish dangers.
Director Ricky Lau wouId go on to make severaI more Mr. Vampire successors (as weIl as the related Sammo Hung sequeI Encounters of the Spooky Kind ll, with Lam Ching-ying as another vampire-battIing master), but nothing tops the original for its cIassic fusion of screams and Iaughs, and it has never looked as eye-poppingly, vampire-hoppingly beautifuI as this new BIu-ray speciaI edition.
