Truly, one of Chow's best efforts to date. The first twenty minutes or so is pretty uneventful save for a few scenes with the now well-known crew, but the moment Leon (Stephen Chow) enters the stage hilarity ensues. His appearance (black round glasses, a plant by his side etc) as well as his name is an obvious parody of Leon the Professional, especially if you add the silly outfit Kwan (Karen Mok) sports later on, deliberately reminiscent of Natalie Portman's garment in the said cult movie. Make no mistake, this is a ghost movie, the kind only Stephen Chow could make. Wui wan yeh is a must for any fan of Chow's and beyond.

About the end of the movie, there are some things, ah, what, what, come up, come up, who can't come up. What is it? Take the scrubbing knife quickly. What is the previous one? Now is the time to make up the number of words 123, that is to say, there are always one or two people in the legend.

Now is the time to make up the number of words 123, that is to say, there are always one or two people in the legend. That is to say, the legend always. Anyway, I won't do it. If I don't do it, I will come up quickly. If I don't get it, I won't get it before.
Stephen Chow, Hong Kong's biggest star and international comic genius, leads a great cast of new faces and old favorites to take on ghost busting in a film full of both laughs and thrills.
Hong Kong ghost comedy? Well, that is something different. The humor is a bit odd. It is not bad, but it seems like the timing may be just slightly off, and this probably has something to do with the subtitles... what people say takes a moment longer to register than what we see (unless, of course, we understand Cantonese).
I find the cultural differences (or similarities) interesting. Although there is virtually no overlap between the religions of the West and the East, it seems like we share a very similar view about ghosts. Now, personally, I do not believe in ghosts... but what is presented here for a Chinese audience still makes perfect sense for an American audience. Interesting.

A Hong Kong horror-comedy about a partially mentally-impaired professional wannabe (Stephen Chow) who attempts to help an apartment building rid itself of evil ghosts. He trains a bunch of clueless security guards in warding off the ghosts, providing them with off-the-chart techniques.
What started out as a pretty intriguing horror flick quickly loses steam afterward. This movie is basically forced comedy with poor slapstick humor and childish tactics that rendered the cast extremely irritating. The acting was awful and the story was riddled with sloppy editing.
Some Hong Kong filmmakers are sometimes notorious for winging its movies - filming them in an impromptu manner with limited editing, no post-production and little preparation. The crew clearly didn't want to take this film seriously - they just had fun with it, suspending their imagination and creativity, but failing to provide us with an impressive product. Some of these filming techniques is called nonsensical comedies - you either love them or hate them. When I watch a comedy, I hope to get humor that just flow naturally, not over-the-board slapstick gags and goofy puns.
Stephen Chow is known for his slapstick comedies and I equate him to the likes of Jim Carrey. However, this movie is one of Chow's worst pictures and I recommend that people stay way from this film!
Grade F

Stephen Chow plays an "insane" person who is not afraid of anything. He also appears to be parodying Leon (the professional). Carrying his trusty plant and bag of cling wrap and chocolates he helps a young girl to rid her building of a couple mean ghosts.
This is a must see for any Stephen Chow fan, and at least a renter for any fan of chinese comedy. This ranks up there with Shaolin Soccer and God Of Cookery on my list.
