Encounters Of The Spooky Kind [DVD]

I originally saw this film as part of a Chinese Christmas show on Film4 introduced by Johnathan Ross. My estimation of him rose dramatically with the quality of the films he chose. I recorded it (on video) at the time and have watched it often since. Finding it on dvd is a bonus. This is a supernatural comedy horror with incredible kung fu speed and moves that are probably impossible in places - probably the best film of this genre.

Really good kung fu comedy horror, great you can follow subtitles still enjoy the film, sammo hung gives another solid performance , l would relly recommend this excellent!!

First class. sammo is in a great martial arts man

Loved it.

not to bad

VERY PLEASED WITH DVD, THANK YOU. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SELLER A+++++++

Awesome dvd of classic Sammo Hung film

In this period movie Sammo Hung plays a guy who never shies away from a bet, and agrees to stay in a haunted temple overnight. It is then that he becomes victim to some awful spooky encounters, which are actually being conjured up by a guy who knows a variation of voodoo. But worse is to come...After returning from his escapades in the temple, he returns home only to find his place blood-stained, trashed and his wife supposedly murdered (although not there to confirm otherwise), and the police, led by the great Lam Ching-Ying ('Magnificent Butcher', 'Eastern Condors' -- sadly, he died in 1997), arrest him. He breaks out of jail and is soon on the run. However, all is soon set for the climactic battle, which is quite different to what you may have seen before...This contains some brilliant comic moments (particularly the zombie that follows Sammo's every move -- almost!) and the choreography is undeniably among the best he's done that show his surprising range of mobility for someone his size. The ruck where he uses Monkey-style Kung Fu is amazing!
