[Edit this paragraph] Summary
Taoist priest (Ching-Ying Lam) lives in a small town with his unscrupulous disciples (Jin Shaohao) and A Fang (Lv Fang) and adopts a naughty little zombie (Lin Zhenghong). One day, an apprentice was invited to catch ghosts, met Sister Maria and a beautiful young nun, and then made a series of oolong. Yimei dug up a western zombie near the church in search of a new water source. The captain of the town office mistakenly sent the West God to sleep and rescued the countess zombie in the church, so he launched a soul-stirring battle. Although the countess broke into pieces on the cliff with one eyebrow, she found that China's method could not cure the western zombies, and she escaped through all kinds of hardships, and was even more hunted by the western zombies from then on. ...
[Edit this paragraph] Film Review
In Hong Kong's zombie movies, many movie stars have played the role of "Mao Shanchang", such as Zhong Fa, Chen You, Zheng Zeshi, Richard Ng, and even the famous ticket seller Ni Kuang. However, if we say that the most popular and photogenic image is Ching-Ying Lam's image of maoshan taoist, which is "one-browed, cold and humorous, smart and agile, and even has a style of painting and chanting Buddha", it is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
As a representative of Hong Kong zombie movies, Ching-Ying Lam really has a soft spot for zombie movies, which made him famous and made a lot of efforts. So when Hong Kong's traditional Maoshan zombie film was repeatedly imitated by many subsequent works, it gradually lost its audience. In order to prevent Hong Kong zombie films from dying, Ching-Ying Lam began to actively integrate western vampires and zombies into Hong Kong zombie films, and his "One Eyebrow Man" directed and performed in 1989 was his "combination of local and foreign cultures". And boldly lead a western vampire to fight a Chinese-western war. The most vivid freshness of the film is that Mao Shanshu can't subdue western zombies. In desperation, a Taoist priest blew them up with explosives, but it still didn't work. Finally, he actually trapped the western zombies with mud, and he was finished.
The whole movie "One Eyebrow Road flyover" is funny and exciting, and the novel special effects such as maoshan taoist's "talk about chickens and ducks" with Christians and Maoshan's fight with western zombies have greatly influenced the audience. After the film was released, the box office exceeded 10 million yuan. Although Ching-Ying Lam failed to make a profit because of its reckless pursuit of excellence, it opened the way for Hong Kong filmmakers to re-examine local zombie movies.
