      william k This entertaining sequel offers the same excellent horror and action elements, but tones down the romance and its plot is a bit confusing; still, lots of fun, though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member As a fan of Ghostbusters, this low-budget, medieval Chinese take on ghosts and possessed girlfriends was appreciated. Leslie (man) and Joey (woman) reprise their roles as ghost-crossed lovers. Funny old props and effects, good cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as entertaining as the original A Chinese Ghost Story but a pretty good film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member After freeing the spirit of his ghostly love Hsiao-Tsing, Ning returns home to find his village in ruin, where he is falsely imprisoned in a case of mistaken identity. It is here that he meets an elder scholar, who helps him to escape and lends him a powerful amulet to ward away evil. Back on the road, Ning encounters a wandering monk, and the two must join forces to defeat a forest demon that infiltrates their camp. Fate intervenes once again, as the two are apprehended by a roving band of rebels led by Windy, a beautiful warrior that resembles his lost love. This time, Ning is confused for the Elder Chu, owner of the amulet, and asked to lead the group against an evil priest who has sentenced Windy's father to death and put a spell over the entire empire! Tsui Hark and Ching Siu-Tung return with the next exciting chapter of A CHINESE GHOST STORY! Hark makes every attempt to outdo the incredible special effects from the first film, and succeeds! A CHINESE GHOST STORY 2 puts on a dazzling display of monsters, magic, and martial arts once again. While the plot isn't quite as compelling as the last, it features many favorite characters and more of the same great humor that originally brought them to life. Leslie Cheung and Joey Wang easily resume their chemistry on screen, but newcomer Jacky Cheung quickly steals the spotlight as the Taoist mage Autumn with his lively performance. A CHINESE GHOST STORY 2 is another excellent entry in the fantasy horror saga. -Carl Manes I Like Horror Movies Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty weak, too much on the humour side of things. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty damn good.....first time watch. This continues the 1987 film....with the same lovable guy. Madcap and original.....with Doctor Who monsters from the 1980's.....but still so enjoyable. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
