Edit

Goofs
Obvious fire proof suit for Michiko Nishiwaki's character when Uncle Feng sets her on fire in the slow motion shot.

Alternate versions
The UK 88 Films Blu-Ray release from 2023 had a compulsory cut made to it in order to comply with the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937. A brief shot in which Michiko Nishiwaki chokes a cat with her bare hand to the point where it thrashes its paws and meows loudly, as well as shots of that same cat being hanged (thrashing around and meowing in agony) are completely removed from that version.

My all-time favorite modern HK fantasy

When a famous actor dies, I usually think, "oh, that's sad", and pretty much forget about it. When Lam Ching Ying died, I was truly sad, and this movie is one of the major reasons why. In Magic Cop, Lam brings his Taoist Priest persona out of the hopping vampire genre and into a modern setting. The film masterfully combines the best elements of films like Mr. Vampire and A Chinese Ghost Story with modern Hong Kong police action films.

Somebody tell me if this one ever comes out on DVD!
