This is tonally pretty different from the first movie and also the plot is like 5% related. This is a pretty good horror comedy thing though

First watch of the year!

The opener of this thing is immediately tight as hell, as our boy instantly gets into a horrifically bad situation by getting arrested after being mistaken for a wanted criminal. After being released by his cellmate, a mad, elderly scholar arrested for a variety of literary crimes, he proceeds to accidentally steal a warrior's horse. The warrior, of course, dives under the soil and burrows after him. You start to wonder if Ling Choi-San isn't getting used to ghosts by now when he assumes the warrior is one. Then while bathing in an abandoned temple, he sings a song to himself. Then it turns out the warrior knows Taoist magic and he uses it to fight a group of apparent ghosts who are really alive, one of whom bares an uncanny resemblance to his departed love, whose name ends up being Fu Ching Fun. Then, the group of ghostly warriors think that he's their Elder Chu, the old man from the cell. I thought this movie was supposed to be worse than the first one.

Fate conspires in his favor, but he's filled with a deep sadness when he realizes the young woman before him is not the woman he loves, who would still be an infant if she was reincarnated. But it's also undercut by the humorous misunderstandings of all his new "disciples." Top-grade melodrama, incredible jokes and gags, phenomenal action. And it has the song I mentioned before.

The look of this movie is as fantastic as ever, just absolutely remarkable. Desolate towns, abandoned temples, gooey ectoplasm, brilliant, vibrant costumes, ghostly fog, really nice lighting, also some really cool angles.

Surprisingly inoffensive gag about Joey Wong running around half nude after a ghost steals her clothes while she's cleaning herself. That ghost is a real pervert, since it also goes after Yuet Chi as she's lamenting having fallen in love with Ling Choi-san.

The plot of this movie is wild, and features a lot of unexplained things, like Joey Wong's identical new character for instance. But just what is there to explain anyways? Fate is giving Ling Choi-san something for once, in return for his endless faithfulness and belief in love above all else.

There's also a royal eunuch priest who incinerates some unnamed characters and turns into a giant evil Buddha, among other things. What else could you possibly need in a movie?

"Fortunate? You're frothing at the mouth...!"

Saw at gfc excellent cinematography framing lighting and ambiance i love how this movie looks and feels, the comedy is still as good and even goofier, the relationship is interesting especially with the love interest being a doppelganger of the last movies love interest the previous and the wire work is great I like they brought back that rap and the music from last movie I miss the variety in monster design but the big bads design was awesome, it also provides some interesting on idolatry which i didn't see coming and the way they presented the critique felt like something from a persona game
