Can you help me out... More movies like this?


When I was a kid I loved these crazy fantasy/martial arts movies but I can't really remember many titles. The names I remember are Chinese Ghost Story, Zu Warriors, Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind, Mr Vampire and Miracle Fighters.

Can anyone tell me of any other fantasy or horror tinged HK Martial Arts movies similar to these? Any ideas would be hugely appreciated.

Apologies if this post is repetetive or if you see it on a message board elsewhere. Thanks very much for any help!

What is the best film to start with in this category of martial arts films?

A Chinese Ghost Story is pretty much top notch. Mind you, so is Zu Warriors, to be honest. The Mr.Vampire series are mainly played for laughs, but do have some good bits in. Close encounters of the spooky kind is good too (Samo Hung's in it). It's not particularly scary and again has some good knock-about bits - and is worth a watch.

THANKS jayphex. I just got Chinese Ghost Story and Mr. Vampire!

Holy Flame of the Martial World is similar to Zu: Warriors, and also from the early 80s. At the moment only available on Region 3 DVD.

Besides The Miracle Fighters, Woo-ping Yuen directed this even more delirious Supernatural Martial Arts film: Shaolin Drunkard aka Wu Tang Master which is related to: Drunken Wutang aka Taoism Drunkard

I'm looking for a movie similar to this envolving magic swords. Years ago I caught the movie in question very very late at night so i didnt get a chance to finish it.

so (at least) two magic swords one blue one red, a lot of kung fu, cheesy FX, and now for what can help identify the title: somewhere in the movie one of the characters fuses with the other guy.

anyone know the title of these movie?

reply

They used to play on British TV late at night. Some classics there.
