Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Made 10 Years After The Previous Instalment & Re-Uniting Some Of The Original Cast Members, Close Encounters Of The Spooky Kind 2, Is Another Sheer Winner From Kung-Fu Legend Sammo Hung. This Is A Stand Alone Sequel & Has No Relation To The 1980 Film Apart From Some Of The Cast. This Film Has It's Great Moments, Smartly Written & Features Some Great Choreographed Fight Scenes. A Very Good Sequel & One That's Worth A Watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Go Sammo Go! I think I first saw this around 20 years ago now at an all-night filmfest called 'Black Sunday'. It blew my mind and helped fuel my compulsion for getting countless Hong Kong movies on VHS for the next 10 years. Hopping Vampires! Possession! A beautiful Ghost! Zombies! Cockroaches! Mummies! Chinese Black Magic! Knockabout comedy and fantastic kick-ass fighting! It's all here! Funnier and more action packed than the original. Educational too - How do you stop an advancing "Mummy"? Attack it in the navel! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member On par with the first. Although not a direct sequel, many of the same actors return for more ghostly encounters and magical hijinks. The story is still pretty strong, as Sammo plays Po, a chubby loser who is engaged to the beautiful Pearl. A sneaky rich boy villain Sze and his dark wizard companion attempt to mess things up, and it's up the fabulous Lam Ching-ying as a good magic wielding master to save him. The plot manages to keep a heartfelt angle with a side plot of a ghost trying to take care of her sick mother. Throw is some hilarious scenes such as a zombie midget and you have comedic gold. They also do not skimp on the action, Collin Chou has a small role as a snake man fighter and he fights Sammo Hung. With a perfect blend of comedy, action, and magic, Encounters of the Spooky Kind is a fantastic sequel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
