1982 • Hong Kong • Directed by Lau Kar-Wing

This delightful action comedy came out a full two years before Ghostbusters premiered. Coincidence? You be the judge. Whatever the inspiration, nothing can compare to this showcase for international favorite Alexander Fu Sheng’s brother, Chang Chan-peng. It also spotlights exceptional martial arts acrobat Hsiao Hou, who was another discovery of legendary director Lau Kar-leung, who used him to brilliant effect in Mad Monkey Kung Fu. Alexander Fu Sheng himself is also on hand, of course, as is Shaw Brothers’ kung-fu queen Lily Li and the king of Shaw Brothers’ martial arts villains Wang Lung-wei. Leading this all-star fighting pack is Lau Kar-leung’s brother, Lau Kar-wing, a respected action comedy director in his own right. Together they make an amazing adventure of wushu and wizardry. This is the Mandarin version.
