Kung Fu Ghost

In society today, it's difficult to shield our young ones from cursing and gratuitous violence, in movies, music, and the internet. Movies of decades past were wholesome with good story and didn't rely on gruesome special effects, 4-letter words every other word and blood splatter in every scene. Kung Fu Ghost reminds me of when I was watching those fun movies on TV on Saturday afternoons in my footed pajamas while eating my FruitLoops and Lucky Charms and never realizing for a moment while I was fixated on that piece of furniture with it's tiny magic screen in front of me that life outside the safety of my parent's home was often filled with things a young boy didn't need to worry about, at least until he becomes an adult. While some movie productions spend hundreds of millions on their projects and still miss the mark, Kung Fu Ghost is an exceptional independent production with a fun cast and an enjoyable story. Enjoy the fun of Kung Fu Ghost!

This is close to fan film quality. The script is barely functional, it's predictable, but the saving grace is the main actress. She's quite good at comedy. I can't tell if all her lines were scripted or some of them ad-libbed, but during the first hour or so she popped out line after line that are just hilarious.

If one ignores the poor filming, poor directing, poor script and just enjoys the one-liners, it's at least worth a watch. But don't go in expecting much. As movies go this would make a good film school "Things to do and not do in a film" leader movie.

I do have to say though, that I have seen no other film with as many OBVIOUSLY biased staff / family reviews as this one. Consistent 9 & 10 star reviews for THIS film... each review with detailed production information? Not buying it.

About an hour in I found myself getting bored as even the one-liners lost their thrust and they became more serious, losing what they had going for them up to that point. This would probably make a good MST3K satire film. Definitely a rainy-Saturday-bored type movie. The first hour is worth it just to hear the one-liners and cute accent of the lead actress.

The Movie Kung Fu Ghost premiered on July 31st - August 1st at Lights of Liberty Theater in Liberty Kentucky. Stanford Kentucky's Mayor, Chief of Police, Detective, Captain, an Officer and the Training Director who served many years at the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Corrections all came out to watch the movie. They all loved it, especially the fact that the film had no curse words in it and that it was just a good clean family fun film. Many in Kentucky made the comment about how cute they thought the character in the film Daisy was. Everyone who attended the premiere in Kentucky and saw the film on the big screen absolutely loved it!! 🙂

Move over Tommy Wiseau! Watch out Neil Breen! There's a new name out there for poor B movies. I had hopes this would be as good as The VelociPastor but sadly it was not. The first 20 minutes was chuckle worthy in the right direction, but then the comedy stopped (or it just got old that quick?). As someone who knew the late Joe D'Amato, who also produced a B movie I worked on called Bullets, Fangs and Dinner at 8, he would be very proud of how this film turned out. But movies like this only work for me when they are made like this intentionally. Unfortunately this film was too long for what it was.

What I loved about this film is that it's very light hearted. It is a good feeling film overall. The BTS at the end was super fun. The Grandpa character reminded me of my own Grandpa when it came to Alexa and technology lol . " Alexi, Alexi.. ". " How didn't see answer me ? ". Grandpa is funny and silly, love him. The two main leads have excellent chemistry. Wish to see more of them together. A great little find.
