Encounters Of The Spooky Kind
Sammo Hung plays Courageous Cheung, a cuckolded husband who faces a series of supernatural challenges from his wife's wealthy lover. First, Cheung must survive a night in a house haunted by a bloodthirsty vampire. From there, things just get worse--and more comical. For those unfamiliar with the Chinese horror genre, the film is a Mr. Toad's Wild Ride through the supernatural mythology and folklore of China: Hopping corpses, supernatural possession by a monkey god, the gratuitous sacrifice of a chicken, and lots of chanting by Taoist priests will all seem pretty trippy. For Chinese viewers in the early 1980s, the film was unusual in other ways: Director Hung mixed comedy, martial arts, and supernatural horror into this bouillabaise of a film, establishing the genre of kung-fu horror comedy. Several films in the genre followed, including the popular MR. VAMPIRE series and many films with the word "spooky" in their titles, including Hung's SPOOKY, SPOOKY and ENCOUNTERS OF THE SPOOKY KIND 2, a sequel in name only.

An Amusing funny Film!
Funny far from boring film which even gives you the creeps during part of it! The storyline is about a man who is supposed to be fearless. His wife is having an affrair with his boss & oneday he goes home early and nearly catches them. Unfortunately his Boss leaves his shoe behind. This shoe is taken everywhere by the husband who knows oneday he will find its owner!
Lots of fighting action, & laughs, silly but fun to watch & will liven up any boring evening. Happy Ending, for some! But watch out for a very unexpected ending! -
