Summary:
Another supernatural vehicle for our favorite Momotaro.
|
This time the story is loosely based on "Where's Officer Tuba?" which was loosely based on the British TV series of the 60s "Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)". Lin Shao-Luo plays an "ugly duck" who works in her uncle's Detective Agency. She is a weeping clumsy teen who dreams to be the coolest policewoman in the world. One day she gets pregnant by accident, that is, the soul of a killed mobster (Lo Rei) who wanted to reincarnate in a newborn of a rich woman runs into Lin and is trapped in her stomach. Lo is expelled by a fart and now only Lin can see and hear him. After a give-and-take between ghost and girl, Lo decides to help Lin. Now the supernatural martial arts scenes appear and the movie gets better, but unfortunately the director Chong Yun-Kin (who later would direct "Shy Spirit") doesn't exploit enough the possibilities of the story. The ghost-hunting final fight, which should be the climax of the movie, is also mid-spoiled with stupid scenes. Anyway, funny ghost movie.
