Close Encounters Of The Spooky Kind

Director; Sammo Hung
Starring; Sammo Hung
Genre; Martial Arts Horror Comedy
Year; 1981
Release; UK HK Legends

A cross-genre effort from the worlds most energetic fat guy. Hung stars, directs and choreographs this (again). A cool film, the effects aint bad, considering the time and place it was made, and the money they had. The comedy is strange, for an asian film, as it's not fucking purile infantile annoying crap (they don't do comedy well, just action comedy), and its actually funny, in parts. Paved the way for things like Mr Vampire, and other such things. Really rather good.
