Having fond memories of seeing Stephen Chow in Justice,My Foot for the first time recently,I was thrilled to spot a rare Chow Horror about to go from Netflix UK,which led to me looking into the darkThe plot:Starting their new job as security guards to a luxury apartment building with a shopping centre on the lower floor,the guards soon begin to fear that it is they who needs security,due to the peculiar inhibitions of the building being joined by headless ghosts out for revenge. Wanting to help rid the building of the ghosts, ghostbuster Leon decides to train the security guides and some residence of the building in the best way to fight out of the darkness.View on the film:Flying into the dark on a pillow of warm shot on Video fuzz,writer/director Jeffrey Lau & cinematographer Chi Wai Wong turn the light on to an atmosphere of pure kitsch,which bounces along with playful, rubbery gore being drenched in stylish filters Lau slices into to crack open the absurd state of Leon's ghostbusting. Pitching the Comedy chops broadly,Lau makes the kitsch mood run deep,with gleefully extended comedy sequences exposing Leon's lack of real "skills",and also allowing Leon to push the Horror Comedy into over the top Fantasy.Drawing the most basic outline for the characters,Lau makes this basic sketch one that is easy to forgive,thanks to Lau never pausing for breath,as the film leaps from hilarious overripe Soap Opera Comedy to kitsch,chainsaw-welding ghosts making sure that for Leon and the guards,bustin makes 'em feel good. Chasing after ghosts with sexy Karen Mok,Stephen Chow gives a fantastic performance as Leon,brimming with an arrogant wit that allows Leon to casually hold dynamite,as the ghosts come out of the dark.

i believe firmly in the fact that if one is to enjoy a stephen chow movie one has to suspend ones belief in what is real. this movie is weird, with no real sense of direction, but it does have stephen chow in the garb that jean reno wears in the movie " leon, the professional ", including the shades. oh, his name in the movie is also Leon.this movie is a first for stephen chow cause it also has elements of horror and Chinese superstitions about ghosts and the afterlife abundantly mixed in.i don't really know what to say about this movie except that its weird, but it does have its funny moments though. as a matter of fact, the comedic moments are scattered thru-out the film.it is definitely not one of his best, but i still enjoyed it. if your watching for the first time some of the stuff is pretty creepy too. its just a weird mix of comedy horror that is totally different then the ones made in the west.what one has to do before watching the movie is to put the belief in normalcy aside and just try to enjoy it. there are some really funny moments in this movie but it doesn't know if its a horror or a comedy movie, but the actors look like they are having fun doing it and that is very important for me.

Truly, one of Chow's best efforts to date. The first twenty minutes or so is pretty uneventful save for a few scenes with the now well-known crew, but the moment Leon (Stephen Chow) enters the stage hilarity ensues. His appearance (black round glasses, a plant by his side etc) as well as his name is an obvious parody of Leon the Professional, especially if you add the silly outfit Kwan (Karen Mok) sports later on, deliberately reminiscent of Natalie Portman's garment in the said cult movie. Make no mistake, this is a ghost movie, the kind only Stephen Chow could make. Wui wan yeh is a must for any fan of Chow's and beyond.

Stephen Chow plays an "insane" person who is not afraid of anything. He also appears to be parodying Leon (the professional). Carrying his trusty plant and bag of cling wrap and chocolates he helps a young girl to rid her building of a couple mean ghosts.This is a must see for any Stephen Chow fan, and at least a renter for any fan of chinese comedy. This ranks up there with Shaolin Soccer and God Of Cookery on my list.
