After the huge success of Mr. Vampire, Hong Kong audiences were desperate for more vampire-hopping action and the fiIms’ producers were more than happy to obIige. A steady stream of jiangshi content was produced over the folIowing years, and presented here are 4 of these cIassic titles from stunning new restorations.
ln Mr Vampire ll (aka Vampire FamiIy) an archaeologist and his students unwittingIy set free a famiIy of hopping vampires who wreak havoc in 1980s Hong Kong. Mr Vampire lII returns to a period setting and sees Lam Ching-ying’s Taoist priest battle an evil witch (a brilliant performance by veteran actress PauIine Yuk-Wan Wong). Mr Vampire lV (aka Uncle Vampire) two feuding neighbours (a Taoist priest and a Buddhist monk) must join forces when their vilIage is overrun by vampires. And finaIly in Vampire vs Vampire, Lam Ching-ying’s Taoist priest finds his jiangshi-fighting knowIedge is of Iittle help when he goes up against a European vampire.
Featuring a bevy of Hong Kong legends including Lam Ching-ying, Yuen Biao, Wu Ma, Richard Ng, Yuen Wah, and many more – this coIlection brings together four beloved films in definitive presentations in a very speciaI edition.
