Four sequels to one of Hong Kong’s most popular and influential blockbusters!
Introducing Eureka's 2-Disc Blu-ray (Region B) release for Hopping Mad: The Mr Vampire Sequels, which includes the sequels to 1985’s Mr. Vampire, a film that is considered one of Hong Kong’s most popular and influential blockbuster hits of the 1980s. In fact, it spawned four sequels, countless spin-offs and cheap imitations.
In Mr Vampire II (aka Vampire Family) an archaeologist and his students unwittingly set free a family of hopping vampires who wreak havoc in 1980s Hong Kong. Mr Vampire III returns to a period setting and sees Lam Ching-ying’s Taoist priest battle an evil witch (a brilliant performance by veteran actress Pauline Yuk-Wan Wong). Mr Vampire IV (aka Uncle Vampire) two feuding neighbours (a Taoist priest and a Buddhist monk) must join forces when their village is overrun by vampires. And finally in Vampire vs Vampire, Lam Ching-ying’s Taoist priest finds his jiangshi-fighting knowledge is of little help when he goes up against a European vampire.
Featuring a bevy of Hong Kong legends including Lam Ching-ying, Yuen Biao, Wu Ma, Richard Ng, Yuen Wah, and many more – this collection brings together four beloved films in definitive presentations in a very special edition.
