A surprisingly entertaining film from Honk Kong that starts off as a western style soft core porn sex comedy (I laughed out loud for the first one quarter of the film), gives some political commentary on the brutal Japanese invasion of China, and ends up as a chop-socky film between a Taoist priest and a Female ghost of the past concubine of the former owner of a Haunted House!

Another surprise is that it works at every turn! The women are absolutely gorgeous (check out Yuko Amuro and an uncredited actress as "Vivi"--fantastic). And they engage in sex scenes just shy of outright pornography. The characterizations make the flimsy plot almost believable (but entirely funny, but thoughtful).

The special effects are far short of "Poltergeist". but it is the acting that makes this believable. The cinematography was almost flawless, as well.

This movie is definitely a keeper for fans of Hong Kong cinema!
