Mr. Vampire
In Republican China, the planned reburial of a village elder goes awry and the corpse resurrects into a hopping vampire, leading a Taoist priest and his two disciples to attempt to stop him, but not without getting involved with lusty ghosts, a jealous police inspector, and the many talisman-bound vampires at their disposal.
