Mr. Vampire
1985 · TMDB 6.9 · 殭屍先生
Directed by Ricky Lau
In Republican China, the planned reburial of a village elder goes awry and the corpse resurrects into a hopping vampire, leading a Taoist priest and his two disciples to attempt to stop him, but not without getting involved with lusty ghosts, a jealous police inspector, and the many talisman-bound vampires at their disposal.
Why it matters
A horror-comedy classic that mixes martial arts and hopping vampires, with Anthony Chan's bumbling priest providing the comic anchor.
