    • Goofs
      Obvious fire proof suit for Michiko Nishiwaki's character when Uncle Feng sets her on fire in the slow motion shot.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK 88 Films Blu-Ray release from 2023 had a compulsory cut made to it in order to comply with the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937. A brief shot in which Michiko Nishiwaki chokes a cat with her bare hand to the point where it thrashes its paws and meows loudly, as well as shots of that same cat being hanged (thrashing around and meowing in agony) are completely removed from that version.

    Ching-Ying Lam is the master of Hong-Kong horror comedy

    Ching-Ying Lam is very famous for his ghost busting Taoist priest in the Mr.Vampire series and any horror comedy movie with Chinese hopping vampire after that so in 1990 his battle with the force of evil one again happen in the modern times when science take over and the old traditional being left behind.This time we still get the slaptick humor from his co-star and many crazy ghost busting techniques that too awesome to put into words.Magic Cop is very entertaining and a must see for fan of Ching-Ying Lam and Hong-Kong cinema in general
