 A Chinese Ghost Story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Chinese Ghost story (Chinese: 倩女幽魂; pinyin: qiànnǚ yōuhún; Wade-Giles: Ch'ien-nü Yu-hun, literal meaning: "The Spirit of a Beauty") is a 1987 Hong Kong movie starring Leslie Cheung, Joey Wong and Wu Ma, directed by Ching Siu-tung and produced by Tsui Hark.
The story was inspired (but extensively modified) by and could be considered a loose cinematic presentation of the Qing Dynasty novelist Pu Songling's Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.
Close encounters with predators in the jungle were not the only threats which he faced but also an alluringly beautiful ghost Nie (Joey Wong) whom he saw in an elaborate pavilion in the jungle itself surrounded with her attendants (who were also the undead).

A Chinese Ghost Story is a remake of Li Han-shiang’s Enchanting Shadow (itself an adaptation of writer Pu Song-ling's The Magic Sword); a story of a restless ‘fox spirit’ Nieh Hsiao-tsing (Joey Wong) who falls in love with her mortal victim Ning Tsai-shen (Leslie Cheung).
Vampire will come away disappointed as A Chinese Ghost Story is every bit a love story as it is a fantasy action piece.
However it can be argued that, ironically, the actual story plays a relatively minor role in a film of various attractions including superb cinematography, a haunting score and fantastic special effects that still hold up quite well today.

Part III is, unsurprisingly, the darkest entry in the series as writers Tsui and Szeto had previously collaborated on We’re Going to Eat You (1980).
Ching’s visual storytelling is more assured here than in part two, and sticks to the visual pattern used in the previous installments, harsh daytime lighting for the town scenes and a chilly, erotic blue for the Orchid Temple, but extends his visual palette to burnished gold for the Tree Demon’s lair.
All around, A Chinese Ghost Story III is a brilliant piece of Hong Kong filmmaking that perfectly balances humor, action and wild special effects.

 Duel To The Death
Ching had been part of the Hong Kong filmmaking world from infancy, his father being Shaw Brothers director Ching Gong, and the young Ching would be schooled at the Peking Opera School (and would later assume action direction duties on 'Peking Opera Blues').
The story is the stuff of a thousand kung fu movies; with each new decade Japan and China pit their finest swordsmen in a duel to see whose martial art is finer.
While lagging midway through the brief 83 minute running time, the story is efficiently told, with enough musing on the futility of duelling to give Bo and Hashimoto, and their situation, some substance.

The Story: Brother Wah (Andy Lau- Fulltime Killer, Days of Being Wild, God of Gamblers) is an aimless low level gangster, who is not in the least bit ambitious about rising up in the criminal underworld.
Wah begins to consider leaving the gangster life and settling down with Ngor, but he cannot forsake his younger brother, who has massed massive debts, resentments, and in trying to be more powerful gangster may foolishly take on an assignment that will endanger both of their lives.
While many Chinese gangster films are usually pretty romantic about the underworld lifestyle, like A Better Tomorrow, As Tears Go By takes a more squalid, dirty, realistic approach.

The problem is that Lung's old flame Gaye (Michelle Reis: A Chinese Ghost Story Part II) is now Yuen's mistress.
Yuen chuckles and replies that humans bottle their emotions, that they hardly know what it is to be human themselves.
This sort of wishing and wondering about humanity is fairly common in both anime (Ghost in the Shell springs to mind) and Hong Kong cinema (I believe White Snake, Green Snake covers these themes).
