Description:

A supernatural love story from Hong Kong, with heavy Splash overtones. Chow Yun-fat mugs happily as a lovable screwup, a collector for a loan shark, whose cranky girlfriend happens to be a ghost. The mixture of romance, comedy, and slapstick horror is pure Hong Kong--especially when the ghost girl's dead husband erupts from Hell to get her back, taking the form of a purple, flying, disembodied head. Meanwhile, Chow's Cantonese opera-singing mannish cousin (Cherie Cheung, from Peking Opera Blues) pines for him secretly and mines the legendary content of ancient librettos for charms to be used against the sexy spirit. In the best episode, Chow performs some funny, mincing imitations of classic Chinese opera routines. --David Chute
