Ok now to the forth installment of the vampire series, Ricky Lau is once again back behind the camera but this time Lam Ching Ying is not in the movie so Wu Ma takes over as the toast priest.
Two rivals – one a toast priest and one a buddhist monk put aside there differences and join together to beat a vampire on the rampage. Chin Kar Lok provides the movie with his martial art skills and also Yuen Wah appears as one of the vampires (just as he did in the first movie).
Alot of the time in the movie is spent on the two rivals past and conflict between each other for half of the film but once the vampire finally starts to appear with his army of vombies, the movie starts to pick up. There are alot of gags in the film as the series started to take a more comedy role than horror, but the action is fast paced with chin kar lok performing some great kicks.
This is the first movie of the series that lam ching ying does not appear in, which to me doesn’t feel the same as he is the best in that role, but Wu Ma doesn’t do to bad filling his boots.
Overall its a good watch, not quiet as good as the 3rd movie but still worth ago. Also sammo hung was back again producing the movie and chroeographing the fight scenes.
