Ubergirl craziness made in Hong Kong – Part 3

Here comes part 3 of probably around 10 or so.

Funny Ghost (1989) - Yet another really silly ghost movie, this time about some kind of magic vase. In the later part of the movie a female vampire is set free in a warehouse. She attacks a bunch of people and throws them around: She lifts one guy over her head, rips off another guy's arm and lifts one more over her head and throws him around. Later on the guys fight her off by exposing their underwear to her ... or something like that.

Mr. Vampire III (1987) - The Mr. Vampire series is probably one of the most popular of that era, famous for its dreaded and terrifying hopping vampires. In this part, however, there are no hopping vampires, I believe. Instead we have a female ghost or demon as a villain.


There are about three scenes in the movie that involve some sort ubergirl feats. At the beginning the Taoist monk is attacked by some ghosts, among them a tall female ghost who lifts him by the throat with both hands and tosses him through the air. The rest of the scenes are mostly goofy fighting scenes with the main villainess who breaks open a padlock with one hand, rips apart an iron chain, bends a part of a prison cell and during the final fight scene lifts a boy with one hand and throws a bunch of people around. She also makes a lot of animalistic noises during her attacks and wears a weird eye prop.

Scene 1 - Lift, Throw Scene 2 - Fight, Steel bend
Scene 3 - Final fight

My Neighbours Are Phantoms (1990) - Another ghost comedy with lots of cheap jokes. In one scene a female ghost attacks two guys and two women and throws them around a bit. They get help from a good female ghost who gets thrown around a bit as well. The evil ghost then ends up lifting on of the guys over her head with one hand, pinning him to the ceiling. Eventually the good ghost throws some sort of charm at her and kills (or bans) her.

Ubergirl craziness made in Hong Kong – Part 2

Here is the next bunch of movies. Btw. you can find many of the movies on sites like youku, 56.com, todou etc. For some movies it's easier to search for their original Chinese titles. These you can find at the Hong Kong Movie Database when you look up the movie with its English title and then click on the link in the upper right corner that says "Big5".

Ghost Busting (1989) - People are harrassed by ghosts. This is about as much as I can say about this movie ...


The one scene worth mentioning starts when a female ghost captures some people and others come to rescue them. The hero channels his inner Bruce Lee and literally turns into him (his clothes change into a yellow Bruce Lee suit). He then beats up the ghost a bit, but she quickly possesses one of the captured girls who then kicks Bruce through the room and picks him and one of his mates up in a nice double throatlift.

Ghostly Vixen (1990) - Amy Yip plays a ghost who strives to become immortal by sucking the sperm of 100 virgin men born in the 10th month. At the beginning of the movie she just wasted her 98th victim and continues her search in Hong Kong. I guess I was wrong about Demon's Baby. Ghostly Vixen is the best movie ever made.


There are two longer fighting scenes towards the end of the movie. I believe there is one at the beginning , too, but I can't remember right now. During the final fights Ms. Yip lifts a guy by the throat (twice) and throws and kicks a few people around. All of this is interspersed with a lot of goofiness, but there are some nice ubergirlish moments IMO.

Haunted Cop Shop 2 (1988) - Here are some quotes from people @HKMDB: "The worst cadets from the police force are assigned to a special unit dealing with the supernatural. As fate would have it, the place where they do their training is infested with spirits. Lots of crass humor, but surpisingly spooky." And: "The method used to finally defeat the head demoness is the stuff of legend, and the inspiration for the immortal parting words that end the film: 'We will remember him every time we urinate!'"


The evil vampiress is chasing a couple of people through the sewers - on stilts, of course. One of them comes up from behind and tries to grab her, but she catches and breaks his wrist. Then she is holding him in the air by his neck singlehandedly. It is only a short scene and - as so often - the only one in the movie.
