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.

Ubergirl craziness made in Hong Kong – Part 1

For some reason I like the cheesy displays of superhuman ubergirl powers in Hong Kong (horror) movies made in the 1980's and 1990's, which is why I'm devoting a series of posts to them. Most of the scenes I'll describe I have already posted at my board or youtube, but I'll link to the clips anyway and add a few screencaps for good measure. Anyway, here we go:

---

A Chinese Odyssey I - Pandora's Box (1995) - There are a couple of Chinese legends which are made to TV series or movies over and over again in Hong Kong or China, e.g. the Liao Zhai stories. Chinese Odyssey is based on Journey to the West.


In one scene two pretty demon ladies are attacked by a bunch of thugs. In typical Wuxia wire-fu fashion they send the bodies of their attackers flying all around with their kicks. One guy jumps at one of the demons but she just twirls his body around on her finger over her head and then punches him through the roof. They seem to be somewhat invincible, too. Too bad, that this was pretty much the only worthwhile ubergirl scene in both movies (as far as I remember).

A Chinese Odyssey - Fight

Operation Pink Squad II - Thunder Cops (1989) - While A Chinese Odyssey is more of a fantasy/wuxia movie this one is a typical example of the cheesy Hong Kong horror movie of the 1980's. Btw. you can find out more about any of the movies I mention at the Hong Kong Movie Database.


A female ghost or demon chases a couple of people and attacks them. She lifts a woman by the throat and shortly after lifts a guy by the collar. Again, this was the only ubergirl scene in the movie.

The Demon's Baby (1998) - This one has a flying demon baby in it that slices a man in half. Seriously. In the second half of the film a bunch of demon baby possessed women wreak havoc among the townspeople: Their bellys open and reveal big fanged mouths that start devouring their victims or shoot tentacles at them and stuff. It's probably the best movie ever made.


There are two ubergirl scenes both done by a possessed girl (Annie Wu): In the first, right after the flying baby scene, she grabs a guy by the throat and lifts him up. In the second scene we see her holding another guy over her head with one hand and then throw him to the ground.

That's it for now. There is a lot more to come in the near future ...

Haunted Madam (1986)

This is one of those weird little Hong Kong horror flicks from the 1980's (Haunted Madam @HKMDB) that seemed to be quite popular in that era. The first half hour of the movie deals with some superpowered evil guy who is eventually killed and from then on possesses the police woman shown in the pics, granting her superpowers and turning her into an unstoppable killing machine.

She does wreak a bit of havoc when being possessed, but as you might have guessed, the movie is really cheesy. In the scene shown in the pics she kills one of the people our evil guy wants to take revenge on -- by kicking and throwing her around a bit and finally stabbing her with the fingers and then triumphantly lifting her overhead, accompanied by some evil manical laughter.

Regarding her powers: She seems more or less indestructible: Bullets don't harm her, blades get bent when someone tries to stab her etc.; she has superstrength and kicks people around like rag dolls, breaks out of some chains people tie her up with ... Eventually her possession ends and the final fight in the last 5 minutes or so features the male villain again, who has come back.

Cheesy but funny nonetheless. I might post the scenes to my board in the near future ...
