| Summary: |
Southern Mao (Wayne Lai Yiu-Cheung) and Northern Ma (Yuen King-Tan) are the professional corpse escorts. Although they always compete
for the fame and glory by playing different tricks on each other, but it cannot stop Ma's young apprentice (Kathy Chow Hoi-Mei) and Mao's adopted
son (Gallen Lo Ka-Leung) from falling in love. One time, the black wizard is paid to destroy two corpses of Mao and Ma. Being encouraged to an
ultimate fight, Mao and Ma kill each other... |

short review: Wild mixture of horror/fantasy/magic and eastern fables. Including a sort of humour difficult to understand when you're not already used to it for some time. The plot offers Kung-Fu Baby Zombies, hopping Undead, horny corpses and a tragic tale of love. Weird weird story, but nevertheless somehow entertaining, even though the vampiric aspect wasn't the biggest.  |
