Obviously I have serious doubts about the cast and year... Amy Yip was not in movies in 1982 and the priest on the cover is not Lam Ching Ying, but Jack Lung (I think from whole shot is from that Chivaric Tornado movie).

Yup - it was released in that Wu Tang Collection as "Chess Boxing Matrix."

They definitely took that cover shot from that movie, but the title characters don't match up... need a translation

Yes. ????
?? - stiff corpse equals hopping vampire
? - captures
? - monster
Would be good to know that this refers to one or more vampires/monsters. And I have no idea about the tense they used in this title. :?
I hope I could help a bit. :wink:

PS I have this movie as well. Just in case I bought it from Tai Seng and there is definitely no Lam Ching Ying and Amy Yip starring in it and that is not Lam on the cover. :roll:

Just a funny episode. There was a Lam Ching Ying site around called Hero Of This World And The Next. They had a review on this movie saying:

"Lam Ching-Ying parodies Lam Ching-Ying in this lampoon of his Eternal Sifu character.
Some may not enjoy this movie compared to his serious version of the character, but it's worth watching simply for Lam's performance alone. His comic timing has never been better shown (that I've seen so far) and everything about him is at once familiar and different in his portrayal making him almost seem like a different actor imitating himself. Just know you're sitting down to a parody and you'll be fine."


He doesn't seem like a different actor, THAT IS a different actor! :P

Do the images from this movie below look to be the same from the Tai Seng tape you have?

I must be honest. I saw this movie three years ago but my answer is still yes. I would like ekisha's opinion though, who owns this movie as well. I left my copy in Hungary so I cannot check it right now. I am so sorry. :oops:
