Fu Sheng enters the plot about halfway through the movie. He is more of a comic in this movie. It's an entertaining plot with a few really, really funny jokes with a few martial arts type fighting scenes. It's not great but it's good enough. Good enough to be ripped off two years after it was released. What was that movie?

At the end of this movie there is discussion of how to use their newfound spiritual prowess. Hsiao himself names them "Ghostbusters".

The real standout here is Hsiao Hou ("Mad Monkey Kung Fu") as the assistant to a Taoist medium/charlatan, introduced via the backstage trickery he powers--a sequence which somewhat takes the place of the usual training montage. His dubious attitude towards the supernatural produces a few decent Scooby Doo moments, but most of the comedy falls flat.

Fu Sheng fans may be disappointed, as he does not show up until near the midpoint of the movie and primarily does comedic gambling and no real kung fu until the end. The finale should be fun for fans of such classics as "5 Deadly Venoms", as it features classic villain and fellow choreographer/director Johnny Wang Lung Wei.
