Spooky Encounters Reviews
Encounters of the Boring Kind..
Encounters of the Spooky Kind is Chinese Humorous Kung Fu comedy at its worst. Encounters features a repetitive plotline, uninteresting characters and a horrible long drawn out ending. I found this film tiresome rather than entertaining...
Sammo Hung stars as Courageous Cheung, a chunky 'everyman' whose beautiful wife is cheating on him with his own boss. When Cheung begins to suspect his wife's infidelity, the evil boss plans to kill Cheung, with somewhat humorous results.
When I checked out "Encounters" I expected it to be humor along the line of the Mr. Vampire series. Instead we get cheesy comedy with a lot of 'unfunny' scenes and terrible makeup. If you like characters with cheesy makeup and fake corpses crawling with maggots this is the film for you. If not, I'd skip this film and watch the first of the Mr. Vampire series. At least Mr. Vampire actually succeeds at being funny.
I can't believe I actually bought this
I don't know what's written on the english box, but on the DVD-box I have it says "Amazing 30 minutes ending fight", but as the movie ended I still haven't seen that fight yet... During the whole movie there were like 2-3 fights, only one of the worth watching...
I don't count the fights against the mummy for fights, since all he did was jump around avoiding the mummy
If you like to watch two sourceres (sp?) keep throwing fireballs at each other, this movie might be something for you, but if you're looking for just a little bit horror, comedy or martial arts, then go look somewhere else, since this movie contains none of those elements :(
Sammo Hung is among the best martial arts actors in the world, so I can't believe he would ever do something like this :(
