Doctor Vampire is another absolutely going for broke, bonkers movie from Hong Kong. It didn't seem right to be a Category III movie as it does not contain much nudity or graphic violence. It is still completely insane and is a vampire comedy that contains nods to Chinese and western vampire films. If you put together A Chinese Ghost Story, My Best Friend Is A Vampire and throw in some slapstick comedy, some baffonery and some really over the top action sequences, you might get an idea..The approach is mostly lighthearted and tongue in cheek, but there are a few serious more dramatic scenes. This tonal changes are common in Hong Kong cinema of its time and it's highly entertaining so it's easy to go with it..The main white/western vampire is really over the top with giant fangs and cape. Plus the man does have some killer kung fu skills. Doctor Vampire is certainly never boring and a great example of what made the Hong Kong cinema as a whole so endearing in its prime.
