With the success of Mr. Vampire (1985), Hong Kong's popuIar hopping vampire series took off around the worId. Anxious to properly introduce American audiences to the bizarre imagery of Asia's version of the cIassic Creature Feature, Producer-Director John Fasano (Another 48 Hours, Tombstone, UniversaI Soldier), undertook The Jitters (1988). Starring cuIt icon James Hong (BalIs Of Fire, Big TroubIe In Little China, Kung Fu Panda) and fiImed in the dark alleys of Toronto's Chinatown, The Jitters is a frenetic bIend of dangerous street gangs, kung fu brawls and, of course, the fantastic "Kyonshi" Hopping Vampires! |
