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.

The Gates - Season 1

ABC's Desperate Housewives with Vampires aka The Gates aired it's season finale this Sunday. To be honest, I didn't follow the series too closely except for looking for feats of superstrength and the like, so I can't really say if the show was any good.

Anyway, there were only two short superhuman moments, one in episode 9 IIRC, the other in the final episode.

In episode 9 the lovely Katheryn Winnick played a vampire who's out for revenge. In one scene she confronts her former lover who turned her into a vampire and kills him after a short, but sweet fight. She catches a sword with her hands during the fight and breaks off the tip; shortly after she lifts the guy by the collar and carries him to the wall where he is impaled by some kind of wooden stick.

In the final episode a bunch of vampires fought each other, however, only the very first few seconds of the fight were shown, the rest of the actual fighting occured off-screen. During these first few seconds Rhona Mitra grabs another female vamp and throws her several feet through the air onto the windshield of a nearby car. (No caps for this one yet.)

That was about it, which isn't really all that much unfortunately, unless I missed something. Thinking about it, it's still more than True Blood has delivered so far. Let's see if The Gates will get a second season ...
