Kung Fu Ghost

Kung Fu Ghost is a cute film with action, and comedy. The story picks up in Vietnam with Daisy, a bright eyed and bushy tailed girl who comes to America. I enjoyed the plot as well as the surprise ending. The film is enjoyable and it takes me back to when movies were full of hope, love and kindness. If you want to have a family event together at home I recommend Kung Fu Ghost.

In society today, it's difficult to shield our young ones from cursing and gratuitous violence, in movies, music, and the internet. Movies of decades past were wholesome with good story and didn't rely on gruesome special effects, 4-letter words every other word and blood splatter in every scene. Kung Fu Ghost reminds me of when I was watching those fun movies on TV on Saturday afternoons in my footed pajamas while eating my FruitLoops and Lucky Charms and never realizing for a moment while I was fixated on that piece of furniture with it's tiny magic screen in front of me that life outside the safety of my parent's home was often filled with things a young boy didn't need to worry about, at least until he becomes an adult. While some movie productions spend hundreds of millions on their projects and still miss the mark, Kung Fu Ghost is an exceptional independent production with a fun cast and an enjoyable story. Enjoy the fun of Kung Fu Ghost!

Move over Tommy Wiseau! Watch out Neil Breen! There's a new name out there for poor B movies. I had hopes this would be as good as The VelociPastor but sadly it was not. The first 20 minutes was chuckle worthy in the right direction, but then the comedy stopped (or it just got old that quick?). As someone who knew the late Joe D'Amato, who also produced a B movie I worked on called Bullets, Fangs and Dinner at 8, he would be very proud of how this film turned out. But movies like this only work for me when they are made like this intentionally. Unfortunately this film was too long for what it was.

The Movie Kung Fu Ghost premiered on July 31st - August 1st at Lights of Liberty Theater in Liberty Kentucky. Stanford Kentucky's Mayor, Chief of Police, Detective, Captain, an Officer and the Training Director who served many years at the Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Corrections all came out to watch the movie. They all loved it, especially the fact that the film had no curse words in it and that it was just a good clean family fun film. Many in Kentucky made the comment about how cute they thought the character in the film Daisy was. Everyone who attended the premiere in Kentucky and saw the film on the big screen absolutely loved it!! 🙂

Kung Fu Ghost is a film with many good qualities - a unique storyline and inclusion of up-and-coming new actors that do a fair job portraying their characters.

The storyline follows a young woman named Daisy (Jennifer N. Linch) who has moved from Vietnam to California after inheriting her late grandfather's (David S. Dawson) estate. Quickly after she arrives, she discovers that the estate is haunted by the spirit of her grandfather and a ghost named William (Noah Sargent). The ghostly inhabitants vow to protect her family's secrets and special artifacts, but when treasure-hunting criminals threaten the future, she teams up with the ghosts to try and stop them.

Kung Fu Ghost is a film with a lot of potential. I like that it shows us some new talent like Jennifer N. Linch, David S. Dawson and Noah Sargent. These actors are clearly passionate about this project and it shows in their performances. Jennifer N. Linch shows fear, admiration, shock, anger, disappointment and so many other emotions. Her reactions to certain situations are realistic, which makes the audience more interested in the story. You can also tell that the actors were well prepared for their roles. Kung Fu Ghost has a few editing flaws, such as the scenes where Daisy is on a video call with her aunt. The picture of Daisy's aunt is noticeably edited onto the phone. An honorable mention is Jennifer N. Linch, who serves as the director and producer, and also plays the lead role. Not only does Jennifer N. Linch have all of these credits for this film, but she also specializes in various martial arts, which is incorporated into the film. Adding this element to the Kung Fu Ghost makes it feel more authentic.

The message of Kung Fu Ghost is to give people a chance before you judge them. Although Daisy is quick to not want anything to do with her ghost grandfather, she finds that she can rely on him more than she initially thinks.

I give Kung Fu Ghost 3 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. Viewers who enjoy movies about ghosts and spirits may find Kung Fu Ghost particularly fascinating. You can find Kung Fu Ghost on VOD and DVD August 2, 2022. By Maica N., KIDS FIRST!
