This is one very cool film! The graphics are amazing, they are so life-like that when I first saw them, I thought it was real! Charming characters, good storyline remarkable for something that had to juggle the thin line between adults and childern, and very funny, esp. the outtakes...Don't be scared (like I was) that this is a Disney film-it's not as corny as it could have been. It's a tad predictable in some spots but, well, who cares? Great entertainment for anyone of any ages.

Following the great HK tradition of sequels, this is the third (and last) in line. Made four years after the original, it's not a bad film, with some big shoes to fill, but the storyline by now is predictable as. Also, only one person from the original cast! However Tony Leung is very charming as the monk who is finding himself falling in love, and Joey Wong is again ethereal as the ghost. Well, it's a fair attempt but the magic's gone.

Director Alfred Cheung must either hate Mainland Chinese or something, as this film hilariously sends them up! Two Mainlander cops bring with them a prisoner, and poor Tony Leung has to look after them during their stay. Dodo Cheung gives an amazing performance as the loudmouthed, patriotic Madam-she is so funny without being anything remotely vulgar (which is a great temptation). The scenes where Tony's father and Dodo battle it out is a classic. A wonderful parody of Mainland Chinese cops and their methods of investigations...."We don't need evidence to charge people! All we need is our imagination!".
