If you like the Mr Vampire series...

Interesting to see the star of the Mr. Vampire series; the unibrowed taoist priest himself, Lam Ching-Ying star/direct this unofficial spin-off Mr Vampire film. I enjoyed it, especially since this time around they take on a Western Vampire instead of the Chinese hopping vampires. Though there is one, a kid vampire, mainly played for laughs ala Mr Vampire 2. The supernatural element of the story can be off-the-rocker, probably more so than the previous Mr Vampire entries. At times episodic (with the amount of entities they encounter) and a touch drawn out, but the last half-hour is where it really comes to life.

Vampire vs vampire

Chinese exorcist One-Eyebrow Priest (Lam Ching-ying) leads a peaceful life with two disciples Ah Ho (Chin Siu-ho) and Ah Fong (David Lui) in a small town together with a mischievous miniature jiangshi. While finding new water sources one day, the priest encounters a European vampire in the nearby church who is aided by a dead countess. Although the priest manages to get rid of the countess, his Chinese exorcism fails on the European vampire.The title refers to the interaction between a jiangshi child, a creature from Chinese "hopping" corpse fiction, and a British vampire based on Western vampire fiction. The latter one is quite a formidable and scary foe, and appears in the last 28 minutes. That's when the film preps up, otherwise the rest has pace issues, isn't as focused as the first four official Mr Vampire films. Even the humour is flat, however there's good imaginative scenes, especially featuring the baby vampire. Some of the action scenes such as the crossing the dodgy bridge are well done.
