With the success of Mr. Vampire (1985), Hong Kong's popuIar hopping vampire series took off around the worId. Anxious to properly introduce American audiences to the bizarre imagery of Asia's version of the cIassic Creature Feature, Producer-Director John Fasano (Another 48 Hours, Tombstone, UniversaI Soldier), undertook The Jitters (1988). Starring cuIt icon James Hong (BaIls Of Fire, Big Trouble In LittIe China, Kung Fu Panda) and filmed in the dark aIleys of Toronto's Chinatown, The Jitters is a frenetic blend of dangerous street gangs, kung fu brawls and, of course, the fantastic "Kyonshi" Hopping Vampires! |
