This boxset contains all five films in the seminal eighties Hong Kong horror-comedy Mr. Vampire film series featuring the infamous hopping vampires of Chinese folklore. Mr. Vampire (1985) Kou (Lam Ching Ying) is a quietly charismatic Taoist priest with one goal in life: to take out the undead with his cool Taoist shenanigans. Kou is called into action when an undead fellow (Yuen Wah) refuses to stay dead thanks to burial in a site with bad feng shui . He becomes a hopping terror begging for Kou's exorcism, but Kou must also deal with his two students Ricky Hui and Chin Siu-Ho. One is haunted by a pretty ghost (Pauline Wong Siu Fung), and the other is infected for possible conversion into a hopping vampire! But when the undead vampire targets Kou's granddaughter (Moon Lee), all bets are off! Sticky rice, paper amulets, and the fabulous sword of coins are the chosen weapons in Mr. Vampire , and Lam Ching Ying has the skills and the smarts to wield them! Featuring action sequences from the great Sammo Hung, Mr. Vampire is an entertaining action-horror-comedy that still charms and amazes years after its release. Mr. Vampire II (1986) The hopping vampires of Mr. Vampire are back, but this time they're set to terrorize modern day Hong Kong! A sequel in name only, Mr. Vampire II again stars the great Lam Ching Ying as a Taoist priest charged with exorcising pesky undead corpses who hop around like rotting bunnies of death. When a band of grave robbers discovers a trio of sedated Chinese vampires (two adults and one child), they cart the bunch back to Hong Kong in hopes that they can be sold to the highest bidder. But the child vampire goes free, leading to an eventual escape by the rotting parents, who go in search of their child. Enter Lam Ching Ying as a Taoist herbalist who, along with photojournalist Yuen Biao and daughter Moon Lee, investigates the sudden appearance of the undead hopping terrors. Add in a gang of portly children who befriend the child vampire, and a famous slow-motion fight sequence, and you get Mr. Vampire II , a unique mixture of action, comedy, sentimentality, and Taoist shenanigans as one could only find in Hong Kong Cinema! Mr. Vampire III (1987) Returning to the period setting of the original Mr. Vampire , Mr. Vampire III again casts coolly charismatic Lam Ching Ying as a Taoist exorcist who must contend with the undead. However, his primary target this time out is not an undead hopping vampiure, but a witch (Wong Yuk Waan) who practices black magic and leads a gang of rowdy horse thieves! Simultaneously, another Taoist priest (Richard Ng Yiu Hon) comes to town with two friendly ghosts in tow, and uses his spectral buddies to trick unsuspecting people into paying him to exorcise them! When all of these forces collide, hijinks and harrowing circumstances occur, meaning that once again Lam Ching Ying and his entertain
