Not only is this film little known and very hard to get, it also seems like the most atypical Stephen Chiau film I've ever seen. In fact, he doesn't even show up on screen for a full 15 minutes, and when he eventually does, it's to play a role that is somewhat different from his usual stick.

The movie starts out as your typical HK horror movie, showing various ghostly shenanigans in a high rise apartment complex. None of this is any different than the myriad of other HK horror comedies such as Troublesome Night etc. Eventually, Chiau appears as a mysterious ghost fighter. He is joined by a motley crue of building guards and residents, including perrennial sidekick Ng Man Tat and Karen Mok, and they proceed with training sessions in which they are supposed to learn how to fight ghosts. While there are some funny moments here, the movie never really came together for me. There are several movie parodies, of course, including a ripoff of the lightning scenes from Highlander. And the Stephen Chiau/Karen Mok pairing seems to be a reference to the Jean Reno/Natalie Portman duo in THE PROFESSIONAL (with Karen Mok even dressing like and wearing her hair like Natalie Portman), but none of this makes much sense or is even very funny.

Perhaps I didn't enjoy this movie as much because I was watching a Mandarin-dubbed version. Or it was simply the fact that he didn't bring anything new to this genre. Either way, I have to say this was one of the least-funny Stephen Chiau movies I have ever seen.
