Wonderful character development!
Please don't spend money on this.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
In the eyes of the Chinese people ,It's a classic movie.These three movies( Sien nui yau wanI,II,III)are my favorite movies so far. The content is very romantic, and the heroine Joey Wong is my favorite movie star .The director of the film is very famous and In fact, the episode is also very pleasant .
This is the first sequel of the iconic and fantastic Hong Kong ghost fantasy, A Chinese Ghost Story. This time, humble tax collector Ling Choi Sin (Leslie Cheung) meets rebel sisters Windy (Joey Wang) and Moon (Michelle Reis) after his escape from prison. He gets himself stumbled onto a plot where the rebels' father Lord Fu (Siu-Ming Lau) was framed for a crime. While waiting at a villa to rescue Fu from the convoy, the rebels encounter an awakened demon.Like its prequel, this movie is fast-paced and full of action scenes and surprises, which gives the plot momentum and suspense. There is a good balance of drama and romance, as the character of Windy reminded Ling Choi Sin of his beloved tragic ghost, Lip Siu Sin, from the first movie - bridging a touching connection between the two stories.This film also has a beautiful music score composed by James Wong and Romeo Diaz and crazy special/visual effects of the magic spells seen in the film you would have to suspend your imagination to believe. Though very wild, the magic somehow works very well and fits in this story. Lastly, the acting was great, provided by a cast of very memorable characters.While this film does not surpass the original Chinese Ghost Story in story and quality, this movie is still entertaining and fun and certainly one of the better sequels to come out of Hong Kong.Grade B+
Chinese Ghost Story may well be the best HK film I've seen, effortlessly combining fantasy, romance, horror, kung fu action and comedy, and pulling all these elements off fantastically.It's sequel however... well, how do you describe a movie whose main villain is a giant centipede masquerading as a levitating golden buddha that shoots laser beams out its eyes? This movie is a jarring change of pace from the original - it's pretty much an incoherent, rambling, silly and occasionally hilarious mess. The best scene sees Leslie Cheung battling a monster with a 'freeze' spell which he manages to cast on everyone and anyone - even himself - A-grade slapstick.Still, don't go out of your way to see this.
"Chinese Ghost Story 2" is almost as amazing as the first "Chinese Ghost Story"(1987).Again the film is incredibly energetic,atmospheric and filled with incredibly well-choreographed fight scenes.Of course the special effects may be a little bit cheesy at times(especially the monster is funny looking!),but the film is extremely entertaining for horror,fantasy and even comedy fans.So don't wait any longer-check it out now.Highly recommended.10 out of 10.
