Ng fuk sing chong gwai

This features most of the cast from the Lucky Stars saga but there is no Jackie, Yuen Biao. However the film is still a funny funny film with Richard Ng and the other guys keeping us all entertained.

The film is about a ghost who was shot dead and has the power to possess people and at the same time befriends the lucky stars on trying to find out the mystery surrounding his own death. The ghost of course is a very clumsy guy and again I don't remember his name but you've all seen his face. Don't worry, its a bit confusing but you gotta see it.

You have people like Elaine Lui who looks hot as hell, giving us an opportunity to look at and like the other formulas like in the previous films they always end up doing something stupid towards each resulting in the other getting hurt. Slapstick humor is the word.

I think this would be the last of the good films featuring the lucky stars cast. The rest of the other ones falls apart unfortunately. Anyways enough talk, check the film out!

The Lucky Stars go on an island vacation and discover a nympho ghost in a castle near their cabin. Four policewomen come to investigate and the boys try to put the moves on them. After many failed attempts, one of the policewomen, Lai Ti, is possessed by a male ghost that is residing in the castle. The gang take her back to Hong Kong where they learn that the ghost wants revenge for his death. The gang are more than willing to oblige if the ghost helps them cheat in gambling. This all leads to the inevitable showdown where Kidstuff uses his kung fu skills to fight the ghost's killers.

Ok Lucky Seven film which has some amusing moments, however it appeared to drone on with the ghost bits midway, where were quite repetitive and boring. Things pick up in the last twenty minutes and there are some good slapstick and fights, namely Elaine Liu and Sammo Hung taking on the bad guys. Not a great addition to the series, but passable enough. Sibelle Hu, unfortunately, is only a special guest.

The "Five Lucky Stars" (Sammo Hung, Richard Ng, Stanley Fung, Charlie Chin and Eric Tsang) take on the horror scene, where they run into the ghost of a troublemaker (Pak-cheung Chan), who was murdered by an evil drug gang. At the same time, four policewomen are assigned to the homicide case and the "Five Lucky Stars" asks the ghost to help them court the ladies.

The pacing of the series take another dive again, as the comedy and humor were pretty mediocre. The subplot of wooing woman is rehashed once again and really got old by this time - nothing funny or original. The main plot wasn't very solid, just a lot of goofy gags of women-wooing and silly ghost action.

The film gains traction again towards the latter half, where we get a good helping of martial arts action. The stunts were well choreographed.

I would have preferred that this ghost be a more suspenseful and creepy like a conventional horror movie, but with some tastefully done humor. But, it was just more of a movie containing an adult Casper-like ghost theme with corny jokes, and action toward the very end.

Grade C-
