Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A follow-up to Mr Vampire, though not a true legitimate follow-up. It did have some of the players from the original one, but this was more of a spin-off than a sequel. (Mr Vampire 2 came out the next year and then New Mr Vampire 2 came out in 1989). No hopping vampires for some reason, though most of the other supernatural rules which were set up in the original were used here. Best part of the story was the female vampire who mimicked everything a certain undertaker did, but they kinda left that story hanging in the last 20 minutes of the film. At that point it pretty much degenerated into non-sense which wasn't as clever or silly as the rest of the film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The success of 1985's MR. VAMPIRE led to a number of spin-offs and imitations, but none were more blatant than 1987's NEW MR. VAMPIRE, which is entirely detached from the original series. NEW MR. VAMPIRE follows Master Chin and his apprentice as they off to bury the corpse of a local business man after he has been attacked by a vampire. Meanwhile, Chin's rival attempts to sabotage their ritual by bringing the corpse back to life to cause mischief and mayhem for the two vampire hunters. Although NEW MR. VAMPIRE lacks the strong direction of Ricky Lau, it is still an entirely enjoyable film in its own right. Liang Hua Liu aims for pure silliness the whole time through, and gets it thanks to a number of entertaining performances from the entire cast. Fat Chung's self-absorbed lead is no match for the great Lam Ching-Ying's one-eyebrow priest, but Pauline Wong Siu Fung is fantastic as the restless spirit that must mimic Chin Siu Ho's every move exactly. The choreography and stuntwork are fantastic during their physical comedy routines. Expect more of the same zany comedy and off-the-wall action as Master Chin and the gang battle the undead, even if the vampires refuse to 'hop' in this entry. NEW MR. VAMPIRE provides plenty of stupid, mindless fun for Hong Kong Horror fans! -Carl Manes I Like Horror Movies Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Has nothing to do with the other Mr Vampire movies. The vampire really doesn't do much until the end and it doesn't even hop. The movie has some good bits but you have to endure a lot of not so good stuff as well.
