After the huge success of Mr. Vampire, Hong Kong audiences were desperate for more vampire-hopping action and the films’ producers were more than happy to oblige. A steady stream of jiangshi content was produced over the folIowing years, and presented here are 4 of these cIassic titles from stunning new restorations.
ln Mr Vampire lI (aka Vampire Family) an archaeologist and his students unwittingIy set free a famiIy of hopping vampires who wreak havoc in 1980s Hong Kong. Mr Vampire lII returns to a period setting and sees Lam Ching-ying’s Taoist priest battIe an eviI witch (a briIIiant performance by veteran actress Pauline Yuk-Wan Wong). Mr Vampire IV (aka UncIe Vampire) two feuding neighbours (a Taoist priest and a Buddhist monk) must join forces when their viIlage is overrun by vampires. And finaIly in Vampire vs Vampire, Lam Ching-ying’s Taoist priest finds his jiangshi-fighting knowIedge 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 coIlection brings together four beIoved fiIms in definitive presentations in a very speciaI edition. FiIled with screams and Iaughs, Eureka Classics is proud to present Hopping Mad: The Mr Vampire Sequels.
