DVD Reviews of Kung Fu Beyond The Grave / Chinese Vampire Story
DVD Review: Well, if absolutly nothing else...
Summary: 4 Stars
Greetings;
I bought this title as indeed, I am a big fan of the Mr Vampire-the hopping vampire/taoist priest movies. I have managed to collect a number over the years and do enjoy them even if they are dubbed or simply subtitled. When I came across this, trying to possibly find more of the series that might have been obscurely listed or mis-named, I honestly had no idea that these movies would actually fit along so well with the concepts of the Mr vampire series and indeed, as several of the other reviewers have mentioned, "Chinese Vampire Story" is in fact, Mr Vampire 1992 or simply Mr. Vampire 5. The production value on either movie isn't groundbreaking, no. Sometimes the audio is a little off-grainy, obviously not digitially remastered as has actually been the case with say, the original Mr. Vampire. But something that you should however take into consideration is that if you did actually enjoy the Mr vampire Series so far and are actually interested in finding the fifth on Amazon, this is actually the only way you will. There isn't simply a Mr Vampire 1992 on here or even Mr Vampire 5 or any variation thereof. At least, none that I have seen in the past year or better that I have been searching for them. You will occasionally find something on eBay though, true, which is fine if you want to use paypal, but in my experience that has been roughly as pleasent as pulling teeth-half of the Mr Vampire series I have actually purchased off of eBay have actually had to come from China itself and for those of you who arn't aware, their dvd's are packaged the same as in most other countries. At least not in my experience. A plain dvd case, no paper insert with the title and movie art/information, no. The disk is in the case and a cardboard sleeve covers the blank case. Not entirely bad I suppose, but not quite what I was expecting either.
But I digress, no, these movies arn't the best I have seen. Not even what I would consider to be 'great' so much, but certainly good. Good enough to pick up as a set together, even more so to actually be able to find Mr Vampire 1992. I can honestly say that if I had found this movie set before I had moved, I would have gladly picked it up. Now that I have relocated to the continental, I have and am even now enjoying it. I would have honestly liked to have had both these films dubbed so that I may go about my usual practice of watching them while I play a video game to pass the time (I work so much and have so very little time to devote to such pleasures) but I am still satisfied with this find, greatly so.
Had the production quality been better-picture and sound that is, I would have been more inclined to give this piece a five star rating if for no better reason than Mr Vampire 1992. Kung Fu Beyond the Grave was also a fine movie, I enjoyed it too and will no doubt watch it again soon, to be sure. I would even add to which however that as others have said, these would best not be your introduction to the genre of the hopping dead, but certainly something for the fans who have already found they enjoy such films. I suppose I should really say more about the Kung-fu or some of the other aspects the other reviewers seem to be complaining about, but honestly I am just so satisfied to have found this that I can't look a gift horse in the mouth, would probably have the sharpened teeth of those hopping dead and try to take divine punishment on me for doing so by way of the jugular.
Thank you...
