RICKY HUI and JACKY CHEUNG star as Chiu and Macky, two wacky cops who are witness to the resurrection of an evil Japanese vampire. It seems their police station was once a club for Japanese officers, but after the war they all got together and committed seppuku (ritual suicide). As a result, the station is haunted by the evil Japanese Colonel, who returns and promptly takes out lowlife thief Ming (BILLY LAU). Chiu and Macky accidentally burn Ming up with sunlight, but no one believes them. The now legendary WONG KAR WAI helped co-write the screenplay. The horror can almost be divided into two parts, one that is geared more towards the humor... but there are also scenes that are pretty tense and atmospheric as well. An excellent Hong Kong horror comedy gem that is Z-Grade recommended viewing! BONUS FEATURES include nearly 10 minutes of HK horror/action previews including ENCOUNTER OF THE SPOOKY KIND, KYONSI SON and more!!
