僵尸先生 - Review

Uh... what was i thinking actually watching this? I've never been too fond of oldschool Hong Kong comedy and also not that crazy for most Wuxia cinema - maybe with the exception of King Hu's films made in Taiwan, which are very much their own thing in my book. So accordingly, this was an... interesting but mostly disappointing experience for me, bringing together classic Hong Kong style action choreography with lots of dumb slapstick comedy, barely held together by a disjointed and meandering plot, ultimately lacking any kind of emotional core behind its endless barrage of hit-or-miss gags.
