prabhu deva , meena , maheswari , gemini ganesan , manivannan , vivek , senthil , s . s . chandran , manjula

is another typical sundar . c movie with a truckload of characters and mindless comedy . the movie gained pre - release publicity through its two primary cast members , both of whom made changes to their well - known attributes . prabhu deva appeared for the first ( and upto now , the last ) time without his beard while meena let go of her homely image in favor of a more glamorous one . but neither of these could cover up the deficiencies of the movie and it became one more flop in prabhu deva ' s career .

prabhu ( prabhu deva ) and mani ( manivannan ) earn money through dubious means to support a few orphaned children . they steal a diamond but while escaping , mani stuffs the diamond into a toy sitting in a car . chasing the toy takes them to the house of k . d . chandrasekhar ( s . s . chandran ) , a rich man in ooty and with mani posing as the longlost husband of kd ' s sister , they enter the household . pooja ( maheswari ) , kd ' s daughter , falls in love with prabhu but just as he is being engaged to her , he finds out that her sister indu ( meena ) is the woman of his dreams , the woman he had lost his heart to after seeing her for a few minutes in coimbatore . so , he takes off his beard to assume a new identity as deva , prabhu ' s brother and proceeds to woo indu .

the first principle of successful movie making is to have characters that the audience is able to identify with , sympathise for or atleast like . this is even more important in case of the hero , who typically carries the movie along . but prabhu deva ' s character here is not someone we learn to like . atleast his initial activities can be condoned since his aim is to support orphans but his motive to assume a double identity is purely selfish . so it becomes difficult to laugh when he romances meena after his engagement with maheswari and we begin to sympathise with the latter . and when the movie in question is a comedy , having difficulty laughing is a very big problem indeed .

griping about the character might sound silly in a comedy ( especially one from sundar . c ) , but the problem is that the comedy itself is not so funny as to make us overlook such things . prabhu deva and manivannan ' s initial plan of selling paintings to the families of dead people is identical to the plan in

and the fact that prabhu deva is the painter in both films only makes the scenes seem even more similar . while some situations sound like they have potential ( like the diamond heist which is spoiled by policemen , who turn out to be fake themselves ) , the laughs are hard to come by . s . s . chandran ' s suspicion of the relationship between his wife , manjula , and manivannan has a few laughs but prabhu deva managing his dual identity is not as funny as it sounds .

as in sundar . c movies , there are a huge number of characters and most have barely enough screen time to make an impression . there seems to be no reason for most of them to even exist since they add no value to the story or the comedy . some background is initially provided with prabhu deva being angry at his grandfather gemini ganesan but all that is forgotten once he goes to ooty and gemini is used mainly to garner a few laughs out of his forgetfulness . the orphaned kids too are forgotten in coimbatore once the story moves to ooty . things get even more bizarre as the movie progresses , with characters like the midget who announces himself as a swamiji and wears a monkey suit .

prabhu deva indulges in his trademark mannerisms and facial gestures . since he rarely dances in his movies nowadays , his dance steps in many of the songs are a treat to watch . apart from prabhu appearing beardless , meena ' s glamorous style was the other selling point in the movie . discarding saris and other homely dresses completely , she shows up in skimpy tops , tight shorts , short skirts and swimsuits . but they don ' t suit her figure and seem more vulgar than sexy . maheswari looks better than her earlier movies and isn ' t troubled much as far as acting goes . jayaram manages to keep his dignity intact with a cameo role . karthik raja gives ample scope for prabhu deva ' s dancing with fast songs like ailesaa ailesaa . . . and kattaana ponnu . . . . indha sirippinai . . . is melodious and catchy .

t . a . jayalakshmi kamala kumari t . r . mahalingam t . r . ramachandran v . k . ramasamy

s . v . sahasranamam who acted and directed the play was initially considered for the leading role . but couldn ' t take up the film due to other commitments hence he was replaced by t . r . mahalingam . [ 10 ] the film also marked the debut of v . k . ramasamy who appeared in the role of an evil old man at the age of 21 . [ 11 ] the film had a prominent comedy track provided by t . r . ramachandran of sabapathy fame . [ 8 ]

mahalingam plays the part of sukumar , the son of a black - marketeer [ 4 ] who falls in the company of evil friends and invests his money in making a film in accordance with their advice . however , the film never sees the light of the day and leaves sukumar heavy in debt . he is eventually questioned by financiers and when he fails to pay them , is dragged to court . how he is rescued from his perilous situation forms the climax of the story . at the end of the movie , sukumar becomes a nationalist and a gandhian [ 4 ]

music composed by r . sudarasanam and lyrics written by mahakavi subramaniya bharathiyar and k . p . kamatchisundaram . singers are t . r . mahalingam and t . r . ramachandran . playback singers are devanarayanan , d . k . pattammal , t . s . bagavathi and m . s . rajeswari .

the song " aaduvome " was written by subramaniya bharathi while other two songs were written by k . p . kamatchisundaram . randor guy of the hindu wrote that the film was remembered for " the scintillating song and dance numbers , ‘aaaduvomey… . . ’ and ‘vetri ettum’ , performed by ‘baby’ kamala " . [ 12 ]

the reviewer for the indian express called the film " an interesting social drama well acted with the additional attraction of a few songs of the great bharathi rendered by mahalingam . baby kamala is responsible for some good dance numbers . " [ 13 ] randor guy of the hindu wrote that the concept " had nothing to do with the freedom movement , but it had everything to do with perceptively capturing the spirit of the times , making it a hit " .

the film is the fourth of a series of five films directed by ricky lau in the mr. vampire franchise .

the chinese title of the film literally translates to uncle vampire .

: the bodies of the victims of the vampire are burned , to prevent a vampire outbreak .

vampire - yam and eventually the vampire itself , are killed when the heroes set them afire .

in 1998 i saw part of an old asian vampire film on tv . it was subtitled , in colour . the vampires in it had red nails , and sort of " hopped " about , and they went up to people and repeatedly stabbed them with their nails . to protect themselves , the humans wore bullet proof vests . it ' s all i can really remember . i don ' t think it was supposed to be humorous , but it might have been , i was just a kid when i saw it . i really wanted to see this film , but i couldn’t find it . someone pointed me in the direction of the mr vampire series . there are 5 films made between 1986 and 1992 : mr vampire i , mr vampire ii , mr vampire iii , mr vampire iv , and new mr vampire 1992 . the first one and the last one are the only ones considered to be direct sequels , despite the lead actor ( lam ching - ying ) playing the “unibrow” character in 1 - 3 and 5 .

thank you ! i am going to be watching vampire vs vampire soon , and i ' ll check out all the others too , especially that mr vampire i missed . i ' m looking forward to watching more asian films , so you definitely added to my list : )

made in 1985 , " mr . vampire " ( " geung si sin sang " ) is a hong - kong horror comedy that spawned many sequels and countless parodies .

new mr . vampire ( chinese title : 殭屍翻生 ; lit . " the vampire revived " ) aka . the new mr . vampire is a 1987 hong kong horror film directed by billy chan and leung chung . it stars chin siu - ho ( as hsiao hau chien ) and lu fang ( as tai - fa ) as the disciples and chung fat and huang ha as the rival masters chin and wu .

villains : herrick • kemp • lucy jaggat • the old ones • mr . snow • captain hatch • crumb

the chinese name for this film is the mr spiritual fantasy ( various translations are available for this , this is the one i saw most often ) . it makes more sense , as mr vampire 3 doesn’t have vampires in it ! no , all ghosts and uh . . . evil taoists ?

what , no magic cop ? magic cop is awesome . i ' d put it up there with the original mr . vampire . spooky encounters is great too , though it ' s pretty episodic . exorcist master is pretty good . so are vampire vs . vampire , first vampire in china , return of the demon , and , um , wizard ' s curse , if you don ' t mind a villain that kills people with his energy - schlong . and witch with the flying head . there ' s actually another in the mr . vampire series , new mr . vampire 1988 , which i don ' t recommend , even if it ' s by huang ying . the movie you saw , with the bulletproof vest , sounds like it ' s probably one of the taiwanese movies , like the 3 - d army and chess boxing matrix , very kid - centric . either that or close encounters of a vampire , starring chris yen as a child .

main : annie sawyer • george sands • john mitchell • nina pickering • thomas mcnair • hal yorke • alex millar • mr . rook

mr . vampire was nominated for thirteen awards , including two for best supporting actor ( billy lau and lam ching - ying ) . out of the thirteen nominations the film only received one award for best original film score .

mr vampire is a 1985 hong kong comedy horror film directed by ricky lau and produced by sammo hung . the film ' s box office success led to the creation of a mr . vampire franchise , with the release of four sequels directed by ricky lau from 1986 to 1992 , and subsequent similarly themed films with different directors released between 1987 and 1991 . the film was released under the chinese title 暫時停止呼吸 ( literally : hold your breath for a moment ) in taiwan .

the movie ' s great , but the four stars is for the blu - ray . for some reason the only blu - ray release of the first mr . vampire was only in japan and it ' s pricy for what you get .

was well received in taiwan , south asia , and especially in japan , where it inspired a vampire craze with toys and a lot of other merchandise that had a vampire on them .

hal ' s name , which is a short form of henry , alludes to the devil ( called " old harry " or " lord harry . " ) it may also allude to king henry v , who was portrayed as " prince hal " in shakespeare ' s play , henry the iv , part i . prince hal also undergoes a radical personality change as he grows older .

the vampire runs amok and starts killing many people while kau and his students try to stop it . in one battle , man - choi is bitten by the vampire and infected with the " vampire virus " , causing him to almost turn into a vampire as well . meanwhile , chau - sang is seduced by a female ghost and nearly loses his soul to her . kau has a hard time dealing with his students ' problems and putting an end to the vampire ' s rampage .

a ghost sucks the life - force out of a one of uncle nine ' s student . the other is slowly turned into a vampire . they halt his transformation by filing down his teeth ! the female ghost throws her head around like a boomerang to protect herself . can mr . vampire chase away the succubus and the hopping ghost and save his two students ?

such as the end scene depicting the vampire being burnt ( the flames and oil were real ) .

immune to bullets : the police open fire on the vampire with rifles ; it doesn ' t work .

mr . vampire ( also known as hold your breath for a moment ) is a 1985 hong kong supernatural horror comedy , directed by ricky lau , and produced by sammo hung . it was notable for helping the supernatural / vampire genre into the whole asian film industry . the film was an immediate success and was followed by three sequels , a 1992 remake ( with hung producing again ) and several spin - offs .

" vampire buster " lam ching - ying returns as master gao in this vampire - filled adventure . here , he joins forces with his colleagues in ridding their village of restless ghosts , chinese . . . see full summary »

director ricky lau wanted a fresh - faced girl whom people were unfamiliar with to play the role of mr yam ' s daughter so he avoided choosing a well - known actress . he spotted dancer

after ‘mr . vampire 3’ saw a return to form for the series , it was a surprise to see the next instalment arrive without the charismatic lam ching ying . instead , we have anthony chan as the grumpy taoist priest ( reprising his cameo role from the original ) , with wu ma as his feuding monk neighbour !

when the ghost flies through the window to save her love from the vampire , the cable causing her flight is briefly seen .

our vampires are different : these are the chinese vampire variety which hop , have stiff limbs , and act differently than western vampires .

a related television series titled vampire expert ( 殭屍道長 ) starring lam ching - ying was broadcast from 1996 to 1997 . however , during the filming of the third season , lam developed liver cancer and died before the project was completed . the first season of my date with a vampire , a television series produced by atv , was specially dedicated to lam , and the story was based on future events in vampire expert .

highly successful at the time , both in hong kong and as a cult film favorite with overseas enthusiasts of hong kong cinema , it inspired numerous parodies and homage films . the film launched lam ching - ying ' s character , the unibrowed taoist exorcist , whom he would portray not only in the mr . vampire sequels , but also in many other films , including unrelated ones .

overall , this is possibly the second best of the true mr . vampire films and is a worthy purchase for all hk horror fans . as expected , it is still lacking when compared to the overall polish of the original , and it would have been nice to have lam ching ying on board . nevertheless , this is still good fun , and provides everything one could ask for from a film of this genre .

also filmed in the new territories were the scene where the police go to find the vampire in the cave and the scene in which a body is being burnt .

jerk ass : wai , who treats kau ' s assistants like crap , he arrests uncle kau for having long sharp nails , which the hopping vampire used to kill yam .

huang ha as master yam ( 任老爺 ) , a rich man . he is apparently killed by the vampire but later rises from the dead to become like his late father .

a child prince is transporting a vampire with a convoy , passing the main characters . why would a prince be transporting something that will potentially try to eat him ? who knows . but it goes without saying that the vampire gets out of the coffin and attacks the neighbours and they have to defeat it , along with all the other vampires it just turned .

the brother of a local business baron is killed by a hopping corpse , a creature from chinese jiangshi fiction . chin and his disciple set to bury the corpse but their plans are foiled by wu who allows the corpse to turn into a vampire . meanwhile , hsiao in a grave robbery attempt accidentally awakens a female corpse ( wong siu fung ) who eventually turns out to be the marshal ' s ( shum wai ) wife . during the commotion , wu steals the vampire and sets it loose but is restrained by chin who transports and hides the vampire in a hotel run by wu ma . the marshal discovers them and his reanimated wife but the vampire is let loose once more by wu and they all team up with the marshal and his army to stop it .

the planned reburial of a village elder goes awry as the corpse resurrects into a hopping , bloodthirsty vampire , threatening mankind . therefore , a taoist priest and his two disciples attempt to stop the terror .

badass teacher : as exasperated as uncle kau is by the stupidity of his two students , he ' ll still do whatever it takes to protect them and take down any vampire or ghost who goes after them .

during a reburial for one of the town ' s great ancestors , the taoist - priest - turned - vampire - hunter master gau determines that the corpse has joined the legions of the undead , and . . .

the mr . vampire series is not known for being action packed , but this certainly contains its fair share of bone - crunching moments . chin kar lok steals the show with some excellent acrobatics , falls and kicks leaving wu ma and anthony chan to show off the typical taoist techniques seen in all similar genre flicks . it was nice to see a few of sammo hung’s stunt troupe such as yuen wah and chung fa get some meatier roles , although wah is not used for his fighting skills . instead , he camps it up to the extreme providing another memorable character to add to his diverse list .

ïvely lets the young vampire go . when hal returns he is attacked and knocked out by an enraged tom , who then ties him back to the chair and asks him what happened . hal explains about the car accident and claims that he never drank crumb ' s blood , and that he only turned the man because he felt responsible for his death . hal is untied after alex admits to releasing crumb , and the three rush to confront the young vampire at his place of work , where he has just killed the manager ' s nephew . hal , tired of having survived for centuries while all around him good people die , is ready to stake both himself and crumb in order to end it all . however , tom and alex persuade him not to do so . crumb is then taken into custody by mr rook and his clandestine government department .

one - winged angel : the vampire returns for the final confrontation this way ; its clothes are in tatters , its hair stringy , more decay present and much more vicious than before . . . and weapons won ' t kill it .

when lying in a forest in belarus , presumably dying , he willingly accepted the chance to be turned into a vampire by an army surgeon . at some point afterwards he went on a bloody rampage across europe with fergus ( who he had recruited ) , which lasted at least until 1855 . by this point his sheer brutality and carnal bloodlust had gained him a reputation , and other vampires were afraid of him - including the old ones ( except for mr . snow ) . at some point in his life he gained the name ' lord harry ' , though it is unclear if this is an actual title or just a nick - name .

expelled by a band of restless ghosts in his village , taoist priest mao ming , and his two spirit companions , visit another village to seek wealth . there , ming meets master gau , the " vampire . . . see full summary »

lam ching - ying returns as the famous " vampire buster , " this time starring as the one - eyebrow priest . he discovers that the water supply in his village has been contaminated by bats and , . . . see full summary »

if the trinity do manage to escape the devil ' s illusions , it is almost certain that hal is still a vampire , but it is not certain whether he is under the control of his ' good ' or ' evil ' personality .

the four - eyed taoist , from the first mr vampire returns , but maybe only in spirit ? he’s played by the same actor ( anthony chan ) . in the first one he’s priest four eyes . it might be the same way as lam ching - ying playing the “unibrow” main leads in the first , second , third , and fifth movies , but in the second and third films he is actually a different character . not too sure but the priest four eyes and the four - eyed taoist seem to do the same job , transporting vampires for proper burials ( though in the fourth film it’s not explained why he is transporting the vampires ) .

this one is about a vampire family ( mother , father , and small boy ) that is accidentally let loose in the city . the little boy is separated from his family and stays with a human girl and boy who try to hide him from their father . much of the humour didn’t do it for me in this one . lam ching - ying , who played master kau in the previous film , is here as the owner of a medicine store . no disciples , and his daughter gigi and his prospective son - in - law are flat characters . it was an ok film . i liked the design of the vampire family , and i hated the human family . sorry pudgy kids , i just couldn’t care less if the vampire boy ate you .

when they catch up with hatch at the television studio , hatch sends each of the trio into an illusory alternate reality , giving them the chance to remain human . hal finds himself on a belarusian battlefield , dying of a lance wound . hatch tries to convince him not to call out to the approaching vampire surgeon , and to die as a human rather than become a supernatural predator who would murder thousands of people . hal is almost persuaded , but rejects the illusion because it does not feel right without tom and alex present . at this point , hal and the others ( seemingly ) regain their senses in the tv studio , and a fight breaks out between the them and the devil ' s mind - controlled humans . in the fight , the flask containing the vampire blood is shattered along with the vial of tom ' s blood , preventing them carrying out the ritual . however , mr rook arrives with a high - calibre rifle and kills captain hatch ' s body .

this movie was a fun time ! i was a fan of the nes game " phantom fighter " for a long time . it was based on mr . vampire . i just ended up playing the game again recently in my nastalgic state i usaully am in and read that it was fashioned after this movie . so i decided to order it , and i was not let down . even better than the game ! plus , i am a fan of old kung fu movies anyway . so they got me all the way . i dont think i will even see the remake as i am just as pleased with this one . deffinetly get this movie if you like black magic / comedy / zombie style kung fu flicks .

this film is about master kau , a unibrowed taoist priest specializing in supernatural arts , and his two bumbling disciples man - choi and chau - sang ( renamed dan and harry in the sub and dub i watched . . . seriously ) . master kau is asked to rebury a rich man on behalf of their relatives but they discover that he is a vampire . while they are trying to stop it , man - choi is infected by the vampire virus and chau - sang falls in love with a ghost woman , so master kau has to do pretty much everything .

the buddhist monk and the taoist priest , both blessed with ghost - taming powers , have been quarrelling all over the landscape . still , they are good friends . the priest shepherds a group of corpses home . he has to fight off some vicious devils . the priest ' s classmate has been assigned the job of accompanying the coffin of a prince back to the capital . one night , a thunderbolt rips the coffin and the prince becomes a vampire . he kills many people . the priest asks to help . he finds his classmate has killed himself . before the priest reaches home , chia - lo , the priest ' s student , is attacked by the princeis attacked by the prince . chia - lo is rescued by the priest and the monk . but when the vampire prince pounces with murderous intensions , the vampire - fighters have to give their last bit of effort and wisdom to save themselves . ( joy sales )

when hal and crumb return to honolulu heights , crumb has decided that he cannot live with the constant internal struggle of being a vampire , and turns on hal , knocking him out with a wine bottle . hal awakens tied to a chair in the basement , and crumb taunts him until hal ' s evil persona comes through , which terrifies crumb . crumb agrees to release hal on the condition that they will each drink a glass of blood : one glass holds human blood , the other holds werewolf blood . crumb takes the werewolf blood and dies after drinking it , seemingly happy at having ended his curse . hal is about to give in and drink the human blood , when alex arrives and stops him . when hal is sitting alone afterwards , he takes a flask of blood given to him by mr rook and drinks it all .

a taoist priest isn ' t too happy when his buddhist priest colleague moves in next door . they are subject to constant feuds and duels , but soon must overcome their odds towards each other when a vampire breaks loose from his coffin in a nearby procession and threatens to wreak havoc to the countryside . written by oliver chu

this series is about the geung si , chinese for " hopping " vampire or zombie , though the dubs and subs i had only used the term vampire , as far as i can recall . i didn’t even know that hopping vampires was a thing , but it is , and it is awesome . like a zombie they hold their hands out in front of them . like a stiff rabbit they hop . awesome . you can learn more about geung si from this wikipedia article . in this universe the vampires can smell your breath , so if you hold it in , they can’t find you . also , you can cover yourself in oil and they won’t be able to see you .

henry [ 1 ] or harry [ 2 ] " hal " yorke is an english vampire who has lived for more than 500 years and first appears in series 4 . his age and power are sufficient that he is considered an old one , though at the time of his appearance he has forsworn any allegiance to his own kind . he is notable in that as a vampire , he had two personas that he switched between every few decades in cycles ; one kind and good natured , the other cruel , sadistic and evil . following the devil ' s apparent destruction , hal ' s humanity was seemingly restored and thus his two personas were apparently either merged or replaced with a new one .

personally , i think that everyone should see mr . vampire , if only so that they can claim to have seen a kung fu zombie comedy . but , in my opinion , this is almost more of a chinese ghostbusters with some kung fu sprinkled in than a kung fu movie , which was somewhat of a disappointment for me . the story is fun , fresh and full of more than just zombies ( although i won ' t reveal any surprises ) . the action , when it occurs is fully justified , which is something i always like to see , and is choreographed quite well by lam ching - ying . the comedy is somewhat hit or miss , but it didn ' t bother me very much . i had a lot of fun but i came away wanting more action . if you feel the same way , try encounters of a spooky kind , which has all the zombies you love , but with more kung fu .

taoist priest kau ( lam ching ying ) is asked by rich businessman yam , to organize a reburial for yam ' s father , to prevent his corpse from coming back to life as a geung - si ( or simply a chinese vampire ) . however , things go wrong as expected , the corpse comes alive , and creates havoc in the village .

seeing as almost all of the old ones were killed by annie at the conclusion of the war child ( though hettie did escape ) it is possible that hal is the oldest known vampire in the world . with eve ' s future timeline averted , it is possible that hal is no longer destined to return to a monstrous lifestyle . however , the chance that this may yet happen is a constant fear for him .

taoist priest kau is engaged to perform a reburial for a deceased rich man . together with his inept students man - choi and chau - sang , kau discovers that the corpse is still almost intact and looks alive . they attempt to prevent the corpse from resurrecting by drawing magical lines all over the coffin , but the corpse still breaks out and becomes a geung si ( chinese " hopping " vampire , or zombie ) .

" , hal storms back to honolulu heights and threateningly tells larry to leave . when alex eventually does convince tom to come back home , they find hal in the house with lady mary , who is trying to stake him . mary tells them that it is inevitable that hal will feed and kill again , but alex convinces her that hal is no longer mary ' s problem . after mary has left , tom asks hal about where larry went . hal tells him that he did not give larry much choice about leaving . we then see the rest of hal ' s argument with larry , in which hal briefly reverts to his murderous vampiric personality , and strangles the werewolf before calling mr rook to dispose of the body .

seems pitched down at a juvenile level . the opening scene where intrepid adventurers enter into a cave only for the buffoonish assistant to get a snake down his boxer shorts should give one some indication of the level this one comes pitched on . there is much raucous silliness  the scenes with the vampire child ok kid hiding in closets , scaring people and especially a scene hiding in the back of the assistants car and turning their radio on and off are excruciating . certainly , some of the scenes , especially with the vampire hopping around the lab and the assistant trying to pin a prayer between both their foreheads , are choreographed with a good deal of energy , and there are some occasionally inspired images  like that of the family of vampires gracefully hopping away across the roofs of cars in a traffic jam while chaos and panic erupts around them . mostly though ,

stern teacher : it ' s easy to see why uncle kau can be a cranky guy who comes down hard on his students , considering his two students are constantly goofing off , screwing up on the job , getting him injured in some of their pranks , and generally being too dumb to live by getting themselves either possessed by ghosts or turned into a vampire . it ' s a wonder he doesn ' t turn full sadist teacher on the two .

as a vampire , hal possesses immortality and enhanced strength and senses . furthermore , as an old one , he is stronger than younger vampires and is completely immune to religious items such as a cross . also , he doesn ' t need to be invited into a house to be able to enter it . hal possess great knife handling skills , presumably learned when he was a soldier during the early 16th century . for example , he was able to gain the upper hand during his knife fight with lady catherine , toying with her , and hold his own for a while when fighting tom , who is a hardened and skilled vampire hunter . he possesses a good knowledge of the supernatural , allowing him to perform the ritual to trap the devil and identify rare species like succubi and demons . finally , he seems to have great charismatic skills as he rallied several new vampires under his command in a few minutes .

laser - guided karma : wai , being the dirty cop that he is , decides to frame uncle kau for murder . during his interrogation , he even makes it clear that if kau doesn ' t give a confession by the next day , he would brand kau with a burning hot iron . shortly afterwards , the vampire awakens and cue all sorts of comical violence being inflicted upon wai and at one point , wai even gets branded by the burning hot iron he wanted to brand kau with .

hal has been compared to other vampire mitchell by the fans of the tv series , due to him replacing mitchell as a main cast member . however , in a lot of ways , hal and mitchell ' s personalities can be seen as polar opposites . for example , mitchell has great social skills , even with humans , but hal seems to be socially awkward at times , especially with humans . mitchell ' s method of staying clean is friendships and the fear of disappointing the people he cares about , while hal ' s method involves routines and structure .

in order to carry out a ritual which would trap the devil in a physical body and weaken him so that he can be killed . the ritual was intended to use the blood of the vampire and werewolf leaders , plus the ghost ' s own essence in order to bind the devil . hal , fearing any backlash that might result from his own blood being used , instead took some blood from one of his vampiric soldiers . as a result the spell was only a partial success : the devil was bound into the body of a local lunatic ( later revealed as

in the last little while i’ve been faced with some grown - up decisions to make . pros and cons lists were made , people were considered , or not . it’s more difficult now that i have to consider more than just myself in my future . i also hit a wall with my parents’ truck . it was a small wall that will be fine when i get around to fixing it . with all this seriousness , naturally , i said “ fuck it ” and decided to watch chinese comedy - horror vampire films from the 80’s . naturally . like an adult .

master ko ( lam ching ying , stunt master in fist of fury and enter the dragon ) faces the daunting task of re - burying a rich man ' s father - in the hope that the new tomb will bring further prosperity . the frightening twist comes when the corpse comes back to life with a foul and vengeful netherworld gang . desperately trying to right his wrongs , master ko finds himself sinking in deep trouble as apprentices dan ( ricky hui ) turns into a vampire himself and harry ( chin siu ho ) is reduced to a weak soul posseses by a fierce ghost .

lord harry is shown to be completely different from hal , being far more at ease and violent . however , this alternate personality appears to be wiser than hal due to being so detached from humanity , as he was able to see that it was the desire to be human that made someone human while none of the other characters could . when put in a dream world where he was human , hal ' s two persona ' s fuse into one to create a more relaxed , happy and calm hal . this suggests that his split personality developed when he was a vampire when suppressing his hunger , with his human self being a safe blend of his two personalities .

the disciples are here too . yay ! this story is a little weird . it’s about aborted fetuses and reincarnation . you see , if a soul is continuously aborted before it can be born , it turns into an “unholy baby” . they’re evil , that’s all you really need to know about that . an unholy baby has put itself ( ? ) into the womb of kau’s childhood sweet heart , lin to be reborn in all its evilness , and her maid is there to make sure that it happens . lin’s husband has also been bitten by a vampire and kau has to go there to save him . also , kwan - yue ( called birdie in my sub ) , is in love with kau and wants him badly .

afterwards , hal bumps into the hapless human ian crumb , who is on his way home after being told that he must re - apply for his own job . after crumb is knocked to the ground , his anger leads him to confront hal , whose vampiric instincts are roused by the sight of blood trickling from crumb ' s nose . hal flashes his fangs at crumb , who immediately flees in terror . hal runs after him in an effort to explain , only to see crumb being run over by a passing car . hearing the mortally - injured crumb begging him for help , hal feels guilty and gives crumb some of his blood , turning him into a vampire ( he later insists that he did not feed on crumb at any point ) .

in the aftermath back at honolulu heights , hal tell tom and alex that they should not give up on being human , and that to want humanity is to have it . he , however , will not be staying with them . alex holds the door closed as he tries to leave , and it looks as though hal and tom might be readying for another fight , when mr rook arrives . rook explains that his department is covering up the aftermath of the events involving captain hatch . alex and tom leave the room , but hal notices that rook responded to something that alex said , indicating that he could hear her . rook laughs and reveals that he is the devil ' s new host , and attempts to kill the trinity . during the final battle , alex drinks a mixture of tom and hal ' s blood , trapping the devil in rook ' s body . as tom begins to choke and alex starts to discorporeate , hal grabs tom ' s stake and uses it to kill rook . with the devil apparently dead , hal awakens alongside tom and alex , and notices that he is neither his good nor evil self . after looking in a mirror and seeing his reflection for the first time in five centuries , he realises that he is human , as are the other two .

a professor and his two bumbling assistants find the bodies of a man , a woman and a child preserved in a cave . however , the bodies are really vampires and return to life when the prayers pinned to their foreheads are removed whereupon they proceed to cause chaos in the laboratory . the child vampire hops out into the streets . it is found and befriended by two children who take it home and hide it in the closet away from their parents . meanwhile , one of the assistants has been bitten and goes to seek the help of the herbalist lin ching yin . as lin goes to help vanquish the vampires with his remedies , the reporter jen , who desires lins niece , determines to get photos of what is in the laboratory but instead unwittingly releases the vampires .

sticks and ropes saw hal and tom embroiled in the " employee of the month " competition at the hotel , with the manager patsy showing obvious favouritism towards hal . hal is unconcerned with winning the contest , but sees a chance to boost tom ' s self - esteem if he can ensure that the young werewolf wins . however , the manipulations of captain hatch steadily turn the vampire and werewolf against one another , with hal declaring to tom at one point that " however shit at the job i try to be , you somehow manage to be even shitter " . this results in a food - fight between hal and tom in full view of the hotel guests , after which patsy sacks them both . captain hatch later persuades patsy to give them their jobs back , before mind - controlling her into drowning herself .

the last broadcast opens with hal having massacred several humans in a pub , and turned them into new vampires . tom arrives as he is giving them a speech about vampire supremacy , and combat breaks out . tom stakes his way through hal ' s new minions one after the other , and once they are dealt with he confronts hal about his personality switch . hal taunts tom , saying that while his good alter ego did not think that tom was stupid , his current personality believes that tom is nothing but a beast of the field . hal draws a knife and the two of them break into a brutal fight , with both of them demonstrating their superhuman agility and strength . while hal was winning at first , tom eventually gains the upper hand . hal seems unfazed even as tom is preparing to stake him , telling the werewolf : " god , you ' re predictable " . once again , however , alex arrives and intervenes , informing them that captain hatch is the devil , and that he has been manipulating them into fighting one another . hal tells the others that he knows of a ritual which can kill the devil , and the three set off to face him ( though not before hal collects some blood from one of his minions whom tom injured ) .

initially , the first half of the film is predominantly focussed on developing the rivalry between ma and chan’s characters and introducing us to their sidekicks : the lovely rachel lee and the acrobatic chin kar lok . much of this character development is done through some pretty effective comedic set pieces that occasionally had me laughing out loud , which is pretty rare for such unsubtle humour ! at around the halfway mark , the story changes somewhat and sees the arrival of a royal transport carrying a gold coffin , and predictably , its contents escape and much carnage ensues .

i don’t think what i saw was in any of these films , but it is pretty close . no bullet proof vests . but there are hopping vampires stabbing people with their nails . i actually enjoyed the series , so i kept watching . the fighting was always amusing , even when the actual story was less than stellar .

i liked the first film most . not that i did not enjoy the sequels ; i am glad i watched the sequels , but the first is my favourite , followed closely by the last .

the shop keeper tells her nephew ( chau - sang ) that a prostitute from across the street is going to come in to buy makeup , and to be nice . of course , ting - ting , who is the daughter of the wealthy man who has asked master kau for the reburial , comes in , who is definitely not a prostitute , but an actress . hilarity ensures .

, from the start to about 2 : 30 . it’s the dub version , but it has better quality than the others on youtube .

uncle ming is a taoist who claims he can exorcise evil spirits from wealthy people . the start of the film shows him trying to con a family by removing two ghosts , however , these two ghosts are his friends big pao and small pao ( depending on which subs you are watching ) . anyway , these ghosts pretend to be exorcised so uncle ming can get money .

the two ghosts are the only mildly interesting characters in this film , though i did notice that they were cast in blue light so we can see that they are ghosts , but sometimes the blue lighting wasn’t really visible . i wonder if that was intentional or just some mistakes , because sometimes they had normal human colouring . the other characters were not particularly memorable ; i will even go so far as to say that the unibrow lam ching - ying character isn’t really memorable either . the antagonist is an evil taoist lady who they eventually defeat . yay .

the version i found was actually in good quality , unlike the last two . this one is about the four - eyed taoist and his buddhist monk neighbour master yat - yau . most of the hilarity stems from the relationship these two have .

and a fox spirit tries to seduce him . . . . except this is the late 80’s so we get this sexy furry :

anyway , there’s a character who is an obvious homosexual stereotype . i just wonder if we could get away with such a character now ?

he doesn ' t want to suck your err . . . well , he ' d rather just kiss you until he gets to know you better .

master kau is back ! . . . with black hair but whatever yay ?

master kau with black hair . . . it ' s magic don ' t question it .

she goes so far as to tie him to the bed and have man - choi and chau - sang spray her through the window with water to make her clothes cling to her . awkward .

but the more i think about it , i’m certain that it isn’t . there was a boy protecting a girl from getting stabbed , but he had a bullet proof vest and at one point he was on the floor . this is the only time this happens and they are standing up .

there is the undertones of “don’t abort fetuses because this is what happens : you make evil spirits that try to be reborn who we assume will do evilness . ” but you know , whatever . also , there’s a scene early on with a small child peeing on man - choi , and because of the different indecency laws , you see it . might freak people out .

i didn’t have a good - quality version to watch , but there is a beautiful scene with birdie and lin’s sister in the woods . a red - clad procession and a white - clad procession come towards them . it’s too bad i don’t have better quality pictures , but they really are pretty .

overall , i liked the series , but the first and last might be the only ones worth checking out . but if you’re bored they’re all on youtube with varying levels of quality .

rocked : sum 41 in congo is a 2005 film documentary directed by adrian callender describing the experiences of sum 41 joining war child canada in traveling to the democratic republic of the congo ( drc ) .

eric hoskins , president of war child canada at the time , and samantha nutt , executive director of war child canada , accompanied sum 41 to drc in may 2004 and are credited as executive producers .

canadian peacekeeper chuck pelletier helped sum 41 evacuate from drc .

he is the namesake of the band 's october 2004 album , chuck .

rocked : sum 41 in congo

rocked : sum 41 in congo <EOT> drummer steve " stevo " jocz had his last appearance with sum 41 in 2013 .

days after touching down in the democratic republic of congo , sum 41 were forced to evacuate the african country when gunfire and explosions outside their hotel jeopardized their safety .

as if their lives weren ' t crazy enough , the band took a trip to the democratic republic of congo , where they filmed a documentary titled rocked : sum 41 in congo . they went during a ceasefire , but found themselves caught in the middle of an unexpected escalation of violence ( which can be seen on the documentary ) .

sum 41 @ opel air + style festival ( innsbruck , austria ) 06 . 02 . 2016

rocked is an unscripted account of an african country in turmoil as seen through the eyes of rock band , sum 41 . the war in the democratic republic of the congo has been characterized as one of the world ' s worst humanitarian crises and the most deadly war ever documented in africa . the film crew follows the musical group , sum 41 , as they meet congolese children and youth caught in the crossfire , including child soldiers and victims of assault .

for longtime fans of sum 41 , the guys are being given another second chance . in an interview with alternative press magazine , both cone and baksh had revealed their interest in rejoining deryck to bring sum 41 back to life . deryck expressed his determination to start playing shows again .

despite all the hills they ' ve had to climb , sum 41 is ready to bring fans back with songs like " fat lip " as well as create something listeners will hear and think , " that ' s the sum 41 we all know and love . "

jon marshall started off until the band ' s producer and manager , greig nori , advised deryck he had what it took to be vocalist , resulting in marshall ' s end with sum 41 .

prior to the violent outbreak , bukavu had stayed relatively calm for the past year under a united nations peace accord , allowing sum 41 to meet with child soldiers , surviving victims of the conflict , and united nations officials . in a post on the war child web site , drummer steve jocz described the city as beautiful despite the scars of war , and was eager to get on with the rest of the visit ( see " sum 41 touch down in congo , visit ' witches ' and u . n . officials "

the band was visiting the war - torn nation to film a documentary , in association with the charity war child canada , on the impact of the congo ' s longstanding civil war that has killed more than 3 . 5 million people since 1998 . in bukavu , near the rwandan border , fighting erupted near sum 41 ' s hotel between government soldiers and troops aligned with a renegade commander , according to a band spokesperson .

popular punk - pop rockers sum 41 take a break from the music to join war child canada in traveling to the democratic republic of congo ( drc ) for an eye - opening look at an african country where the rage of war has held a population in fear since 1998 . after being caught in the middle of a battle between rebel soldiers and government troops , band members deryk , steve , cone , and dave meet with congolese children to whom death has sadly become a way of life .

" the irony of the whole story is that we went to the congo to shoot a documentary on the subject of war , " whibley said . " and in the end we became the subject of war . "

aside from marshall , bass player richard roy was a part of sum up until a near - death car accident the band got in , which resulted in roy ' s departure . jason " cone " mccaslin filled his shoes . original member dave " brownsound " baksh was the band ' s lead guitarist until 2006 .

however , violence on par with what ' s been happening in the rest of the country has continued since the band evacuated . at least 45 people , including a u . n . peacekeeper , have been killed in and around bukavu in the last week , according to the new york times .

he ended up in the hospital where his health was in critical condition , worrying his bandmates and even scaring himself . after being released from the hospital , deryck headed down the path of getting sober .

they will be making an appearance at this year ' s ap music awards in ohio , the band ' s first live show in two years . the singer also advised he has been working on new material .

has been nothing but a crazy rollercoaster ride ever since the band ' s formation back in the 90 ' s .

after viewing product detail pages , look here to find an easy way to navigate back to pages you are interested in .

over the years , the band has dealt with what many bands face : replacements and losing members . for those used to seeing lead singer / founding member deryck whibley as sum ' s front man , it may come as a " really , since when ! ? " surprise to learn that he ' s not the original lead singer .

this dvd will not play on most dvd players sold in the uk [ region 2 ] . this item requires a region specific or multi - region dvd player and compatible tv .

between issues at home and feeling as though nothing was heading in the right direction , baksh decided to resign . tom thacker , former member of the band gob , took his place .

they never did . five or six hours later , the peacekeeper called for armored personnel carriers to remove the crowd from the hot zone , and the only way out was back through the hotel lobby and into the street . in four groups of 10 , they set out on the treacherous escape route .

as the old adage goes , things have to get worse before they can get better . deryck himself was faced with physical injuries to his back , a divorce from canadian pop singer avril lavigne , as well as his own near - death experience caused from excessive amounts of drinking . not knowing another way to deal with the difficult goings on in his life , deryck would turn to alcohol .

the fighting began around midnight on may 26 , whibley said , but unlike the sporadic shots they had been warned about , this seemed to persist longer than usual . the band and its crew , including the filmmakers and war child personnel , joined the 40 or so other hotel guests in one room at the back of the hotel . a u . n . peacekeeper staying at the hotel ordered them to lay on the floor until the explosions subsided .

whether it involved the band as a whole or was a personal issue a member himself was handling , the guys are ready to have a fresh start with hopes that their fans will be as committed as they are .

at young ages , the guys were partying all the time , surrounded by a lot of booze and a lot of drugs . they had been exposed to a world they were unfamiliar with , but soon became acquainted with .

through their partying , they made friends with names such as fat mike of nofx and motley crue drummer tommy lee .

although the danger was happening right outside of their hotel , explosives and shootings , none of them got hurt . deryck also ended up having a falling out with greig nori , which eventually led to nori ' s termination .

deryck even told people magazine that he is committed to remaining sober and feels better than he has ever felt .

" bullets were coming through windows and everyone was just lying on the ground with their hands on their heads , " singer deryck whibley said . " one bomb came too close , hit the hotel and the hotel just started shaking . everyone dove and was lying on the ground . thing were falling off the walls , mirrors were breaking . that ' s when we all kind of realized that this was really going bad and we ' re probably not going to make it out .

" people were crying and everyone ' s hugging each other , basically saying goodbye . " ( cameras were rolling as the band escaped . click here to watch . )

" suddenly the tanks showed up and we all ran out , " whibley said . " it was about 100 feet from the door [ of the hotel ] to the tanks , [ and we had to cross ] the street where all the fighting had been happening , and that ' s when it got really scary . that was the scariest moment for me , running from the door to the tank thinking , ' we ' re going to be fired upon . ' "

the armored personnel carriers transported the group to the u . n . peacekeeping headquarters on the other side of town . the following day , the bandmembers were taken to the local airport , where they flew out to uganda . on friday , they returned safely to toronto .
