  [KFCC] Hocus Pocus Review
Interestingly enough, a year before that film, he appeared in Hocus Pocus, which in a way was a warm up for the role which Lam Ching Ying not only made his own, but spilled a lot of dog's blood doing it.
Hocus Pocus isn't a horror/comedy as such, and certainly provides less scares than many HK films of the genre.
Hocus Pocus is interesting, amusing, flamboyant, exotic and stars Lam Ching Ying.

 Hocus Pocus Movie Review
As a family film, HOCUS POCUS is passable--you can take the kids to it and they'll probably have a good time--but there doesn't seem to be any great advantage in venturing into a theater to see this movie.
The previews for this film give a good indication of the movie's overall quality--it's like a live-action "Broom Hilda." The best part of the movie--a couple of cameos by brother and sister Gary and Penny Marshall--are also highlighted by HOCUS POCUS' theatrical trailers, so they aren't much of a surprise when they happen.
At any rate, HOCUS POCUS is an occasionally dull, mostly pedantic motion picture with little to recommend it.

 :: rogerebert.com :: Hocus Pocus
The movie is filled with special effects, lots of them, as the witches fly around on brooms and vacuum cleaners, and the cat develops the ability to speak.
Watching "Hocus Pocus," I had no doubt that the filmmakers had talked their way through the plot to their own satisfaction, without stopping to ask if it could be followed by an audience.
This is the kind of movie where the characters keep reciting the rules and reminding each other of their supernatural realities, shrieking in alarm while we stare indifferently at the screen.

 'Hocus Pocus'
Hocus Pocus" is made for people like the woman who sat next to me at last Sunday's preview screening.
Midler is the best reason to watch "Hocus Pocus." As the lead Sanderson, she's the witchy center of the movie, with her Betty Boop lipstick design and that trademark, vamp-to-the-gallery, eye-batting shtick of hers.
This movie doesn't transport you nearly as well as the more bewitching "The Witches of Eastwick" and "Witches." This is another future videotape disguised as a movie.
