SHADOW BOXING

From the legendary Lau Kar-leung (The Spiritual Boxer; Eight Diagram Pole Fighter) comes one of his finest - and wildest - rides, following a pair of very special undertakers who transport dead bodies by magical means. But their latest trip is proving tricky; it's bad enough that a strong-willed young woman has invited herself along for the ride but, even more awkwardly, one of the corpses might not actually be dead... Pretty much inventing the kung fu horror-comedy, and a huge influence on later films like Encounter of the Spooky Kind and Mr. Vampire, The Shadow Boxing stars Gordon 'Kill Bill' Liu and features the sort of action only the great Lau could serve up. 88 Films are delighted to unleash this Hong Kong classic on blu-ray.

Corpse herders Fan and Chen make their living rounding up the dead, using paper spells to turn them into hopping vampires, and returning them to their hometown and their final resting place. Things get even stranger for the duo when a fugitive criminal poses as one of their ambulatory charges and tries to use them for his own purposes. Gordon Liu, Wong Yue, Lau Kar-wing, and Cecilia Wong star in this wild mix of martial arts and horror. AKA: Spiritual Boxer II. 108 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: Mandarin Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English. In Mandarin with English subtitles.
