Description

A Hong Kong police precinct was once a hang-out for Japanese soldiers during the war, and the spirits of those who died there are restless and looking for living victims. It's up to slacker cops Jacky Cheung and Ricky Hui to silence the unquiet dead once more. Co-written by Wong Kar-wai before he became the darling of the arthouses and stylishly directed by Jeff Lau, this bawdy horror-comedy owes more to Mr. Vampire than to anything Wong went on to make — a superior slice of supernatural silliness, filled with the bad-taste humor Hong Kong filmmakers do so well.

Description

Disc 4 contains The Spiritual Boxer (1975), along with a new audio commentary by James Mudge of easternKicks, the interview A Spiritual Experience with critic and curator Frank Djeng, an image gallery, and a Celestial trailer. Hsiao Chien is a traveling con artist who, with his master, makes a living performing 'spiritual boxing' rituals — faking possession by the gods to swindle superstitious villagers with his kung fu and sleight of hand. When the villagers come under threat from a hostile force, the fraud must put his tricks to real use to protect the innocent, in Lau Kar-leung's directorial debut.
