Encounters of the Spooky Kind II
鬼咬鬼
Impoverished teahouse worker (and martial-arts student) Abao is engaged to his boss' daughter, Little Chu, and fights to protect her from the lecherous advances of the wealthy but repulsive Master Shi. The two men's romantic rivalry escalates into full-scale supernatural warfare after Shi enlists the aid of a wicked sorcerer, and Abao encounters a benevolent female ghost.
Why it matters
A wild fusion of martial arts action and supernatural comedy that doubles down on 1980s Hong Kong horror-fantasy flair.
- Sammo Hung’s signature blend of slapstick, wirework, and spooky effects keeps the energy manic and fun.
- Abao’s underdog fight for love taps into folk horror traditions filtered through kung fu cinema.
- Practical effects and ghostly makeup are delightfully rubbery and inventive, a tangible contrast to today’s CGI-heavy fare.
- Perfect for fans of genre mashups who appreciate horror that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still delivers on eerie atmosphere.
