		The "hopping vampire" film, a bizarre mix of goofy slapstick, spectacular martial arts, and creepy monster movie theatrics, enjoyed a short burst of popularity in China during the 1980s, when many Asian horror films tempered their scares with a healthy dose of kung fu and comedy.
		The corpses hop because their feet are bound, their nails and hair are long from growing after death, their features are mostly rotted and dry, and their arms are rigid and robotic due to the rigor mortis which has set in.
		The original hopping vampire is probably first found in The Corpses Who Travel a Thousand Li, a Cantonese myth about Tao mystics that force reanimated corpses to hop to their home towns so they can be buried in their own graveyard.

	Shaolin Brothers review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Several years earlier than 'Mr Vampire' and 'Encounters of the Spooky Kind', Joseph Kuo employed the Taoist priest and hopping corpse themes to add an extra dimension to this rather lavish production.
		The plot seems a little disjointed with the 'Shaolin Brother' theme of two rival students from Shaolin, one (Carter Wong) who becomes an evil Manchu general corrupted by power while the other remains noble and upstanding, being pushed into the background.
		The rebel leader and his men pretend to be dead so that they can travel incognito as hopping corpses under the guidance of a Taoist priest (who is completely ignorant of the fact that his charges are very much alive).
