10. "Zombie Family"
In many zombie films, the image of zombies is cold and ruthless, but this one is an exception. The little zombies in the film not only interact with children They play together, build innocent friendships, and learn to be grateful. As for humans, who are the opposite of zombies, most of the humans in the film are more greedy and callous. The professor took a desperate risk and brought the zombies back from the cave, not for scientific research but to sell them to make money, which caused a series of disasters. When the government discovered the existence of zombies, the so-called directors wanted to extract value from them, and even quarreled. In the end, the police used powerful weapons to conquer them and kill them all. However, there are still righteous people in the film who save society and zombies. "Zombie" is undoubtedly very successful as an action comedy horror film. When I watch this movie again many years later, I am still more moved.
9. "As Time Turns"
This is a very special film. The film uses a new perspective to interpret the shooting method of comedy ghost films, and introduces the concept of ghosts in the world. The new concept makes it even more fresh. This film is both a martial arts film and a ghost film mixed with love, with many tributes and cameos. It was possible that only Hong Kong films at the time could accomplish such a variety of complex forms in one film without any sense of inconsistency, and it was the only one in the world. Yuen Biao and Eric Tsang may have been the male protagonists only once, but Wu Ma Lam Ching-ying has been together many times. Yuen Biao is in charge of fighting, Eric Tsang is in charge of comedy, and Sammo Hung even makes a guest appearance as a great director. This typical mixed-genre Hong Kong film is definitely worth watching.
8. "Spiritual Supreme"
This film is also called "Humans, Ghosts and Gods". The theme is that people have good and bad people, and ghosts have good and bad ghosts. What about gods? Of course, the whole film's interpretation is similar to Hong Kong-style ghost films. It doesn't have too many horror elements, but adds more comedy. My favorite is "Fat Cat" Zheng Zeshi. Uncle Ying's zombie and ghost series. Each one has a character with a strong comedy color, such as Xu Guanying, Sammo Hung, and this time it is Zheng Zeshi; and there is Shou Bo, who is also a genius. , the sentence "Of course it wasn't you, it was the lady. Can you give birth to a child?" is also amazing. After watching the whole movie, you will not feel horror, but instead feel warmth. This may be the charm of comedy.
7. "The Exorcist"
The film "The Exorcist" has both classic elements and a distinct personal style, so it doesn't look tired at all. And it's fun.
On the one hand, there is the conflict between modern case-handling techniques and supernatural events, scientific thinking and supernatural Taoism. This unfolds the story line of Uncle Ying and the two policemen, especially Lin Junxian, from confrontation to unity in handling the case. Laughter and curses are all made into articles; on the other hand, there is the struggle between the orthodox sect and the evil way. The introduction of the concept of Jiuju sect enhances the excitement of the confrontation, whether it is Lin Zhengying, who is upright and majestic, or Xi, who is the villain but has a mellow feminine temperament. Xie Mei and Kazuko both performed their characters in a very three-dimensional way.
6. "Music Zombies"
This movie adds some innovative elements, such as: zombies can also listen to music; banana leaves open the eyes of corpses; foreign scientists dissect zombies and analyze them How is it different from Egyptian mummies and American vampires; corpse-proof headgear; thunder and lightning talisman; two and a half coins of cinnabar, five coins of shrimp powder, three coins of gold grass, ground into powder to treat wounds bitten by zombies; Five Elements Formation, etc. Finally, Lin Zhengying combined 108 acupuncture points on the human body and used acupuncture to extract the chemical components from the zombies and subdue the zombies. Just as Uncle Ying said, "One and seven don't talk, three and seven talk nonsense, and five and seven talk about corpses." After watching this movie, I discovered how important it is to master a corpse talk.
5. "The Exorcist"
This is a very strange fantasy film made by Uncle Ying. The big boss in it is a vampire. The most strange thing is that the big boss is a vampire. The boss vampire is a combination of Chinese and Western vampires. He can freely switch between vampire and zombie states, his movements are also neat, and the scenes are very fantasy and surprising. It is a great improvement compared with previous fantasy films.
4. "New Mr. Zombie"
Good-looking movies and classic movies that you can never tire of watching. The Taoist priest is still the same Taoist priest with strong Taoist skills and kind heart, Sandra Ng Responsible for comedy, she played a junior sister who covets Lin Zhengying and uses all her skills to make him submit. The most amazing scene in the film is the scene where the red devil and the white devil meet. The ghost in white is dressed in a raincoat, holds a soul-calling flag, and rides on a coffin. Opposite the ghost in red, wearing a red wedding dress and a phoenix crown, came slowly on a sedan. Rewatching this film is such a classic.
3. "Zombie Supreme"
"Zombie Supreme" was born at the end of the Hong Kong zombie film era, and it has more innovations than previous films. Uncle Nine finally has a name. In previous films, Lin Zhengying's character was called Uncle Nine, a Taoist priest or a master. His name has also become one of the basic jokes of this film. The Maoshan sect finally made its appearance, with all the brothers, apprentices, and disciples on the stage, further expanding the entire world system. Especially the section of the Maoshan sect's innate Bagua array that collects ghosts used early CG special effects, and the scene was very grand. There is also the emergence of communication between the Yin and Yang worlds, and Uncle Jiu has become the middleman. The entire movie is well-made, and the world system is unprecedentedly complete. It is an absolute classic.
2. "One Eyebrow Taoist"
This movie is the most Lin Zhengying-style zombie-themed movie. The release of "Mr. Zombie" in 1985 set off a wave of zombie-themed movies. Many shoddy zombie-themed movies have caused viewers to be tired of such movies. In order to prevent the zombie-themed movie from being ruined in this way, Lin Zhengying made up his mind to shoot this classic "Yimei Taoist". This movie, Uncle Ying, combines the main elements of basic fantasy zombie movies: goblins, female ghosts, Chinese zombies, Feng Shui, Taoism, spiritual talismans, etc. It also introduces elements of Western vampire zombies to enrich the breadth of zombie-themed movies. "Yimei Taoist" is also described in "Yimei Taoist". He can catch monsters, collect ghosts, cure zombies, read Feng Shui, find water sources, invite Kong Ming lanterns, ask gods to set up formations, is agile, and is calm and cool in situations. humor. This is how Uncle Ying shows himself to the audience as much as possible. At that time, Hong Kong movies were famous for being fast, but for this movie, Lin Ching-ying spent a year of his own time to shoot this movie at any cost, which can be said to be the most representative "biographical" movie of the Taoist priest.
1. "Mr. Zombie"
Speaking of zombie-themed movies, the one that cannot be avoided is "Mr. Zombie". Mr. Zombie blends comedy and horror that were originally impossible to coexist, breaking the fixed pattern of traditional horror films, making the plot compact, terrifying but also funny. Among them, Uncle Ying's Taoist hat, peach wood sword and his cold humor can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The method of stopping breathing to avoid zombies is the first of its kind, and has become the best imitation point for many zombie movies later. Other various coffin burial methods, glutinous rice method, ink bucket method, etc. are also collected from the folk. These are also It has become the default rule for future zombie movies. It is not an exaggeration to say that "Mr. Zombie" is a textbook for zombie movies. How can we not read more of such a classic work?
