Classic Lam Ching-ying zombie movies
Lin Ching-ying’s zombie movies include:
1. "Mr. Zombie"
This is my first I have known Uncle Jiu for the first time, but I still don’t know that his name is Lin Zhengying. At that time, my family only had an antique color TV set in the whole village, and there were no VCD or DVD players. What we used was a video recorder, which was a very large piece of video tape.
2. "Zombie Supreme"
In the 1990s, Hong Kong was not only a world of gambling movies. In fact, the theme of fantasy horror + comedy was also very popular with the audience. The reason why this film caused a sensation when it was released was because it was the first to use large-scale special effects that were extremely rare at the time. It was of epoch-making significance in the early 1990s.
3. "New Mr. Zombie"
Some people think that the reason why Chinese movies are not as good as European and American blockbusters is because they don't know how to make sequels. In fact, this statement is wrong. Who wouldn’t continue filming a subject that makes money? It’s just that my thinking and equipment can’t keep up with others. This film also made me meet another very interesting person, that is Xu Guanying.
4. "The Exorcist Taoist"
As the saying goes, one thing will bring down another thing, and glutinous rice will cure wood fleas. This film is the best explanation. To subjugate Chinese ghosts, you need to use magic talismans, and to kill Western ghosts, you need to use crosses!
5. "Music Zombie"
Lin Zhengying made me realize that zombies can also listen to music. Especially this song "A Bird Fell into the Water" has become a familiar children's song because of this movie.
6. "One Eyebrow Taoist"
"One Eyebrow Taoist" directed and starred by Lin Zhengying in 1989 is the best example of his "combination of earth and foreign countries". The whole "Taoist with One Eyebrow" is funny and exciting. The novel effects of the "chicken-and-duck talk" between Taoist Master Maoshan and the Christians, and the fight between Maoshan Shu and Western zombies greatly impressed the audience.
Although Lam Ching-ying failed to make a profit due to his efforts to improve regardless of costs, it opened the way for Hong Kong filmmakers to re-examine local zombie movies.
7. "Exorcism Cop"
A standard Lin Zhengying zombie film, the most exciting part of the whole film is the battle between humans and ghosts at the beginning. Lin Zhengying's actions and camera Just as neat and crisp. The part where the female walker goes berserk is also quite brilliant. After Uncle Ying entered Hong Kong, the storyline began to develop into a detective + comedy aspect, supplemented by a little love element.
In the end, it turned into a battle of magic weapons, a random fight, very much like the European and American monster plasma films of the 1960s and 1970s, with few casualties.
8. "Ghosts in Suits"
The production of this film is not very sophisticated, and the plot is also suspected of copying the routine of Hollywood thrillers: on a desert island, there are always a group of people. Unlucky young people will always encounter some ghosts and gods when they go camping, and a few will always die.
But what Hollywood cannot match is that we have Uncle Ying, who always shows his talents in times of crisis to help these young people save themselves from danger.
9. "Ghost Cadres"
If you want to know what China was like in the 1960s and 1970s, please watch this film.
10. "Zombie Family"
In many Hong Kong zombie films, the zombies are cold-blooded and ruthless and bite people on sight. This film is an exception. The little zombie not only played with the children, but at the last moment when the zombie couple wanted to bite the children and their family to death, he stepped forward to protect them, which can be regarded as affectionate and righteous.
Unfortunately, the film did not tell the doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and the reporter’s son-in-law how to deal with the little zombie at the end. It seemed that they planned to humanely destroy it.
