Kung Fu Ghost

I simply do not get all the rave reviews for King FU Ghost. Is it a bad movie? No it is not but it is certainly well below average. The only things I liked are the cat at the beginning and Jennifer Linch ( Daisy) is certainly easy on the eyes. The love story between Daisy and William ( a living person and a ghost) was done so much better in Suzie Q, and the ending of the movie was taken straight from Suzie Q ( anyone who has seen both films will know what I am talking about, if you have not check it out on YouTube). The other thing is the movie is supposed to be a comedy it really isn't. It is a light drama with martial arts mixed in. Finally none of the characters except Daisy stick out for me. I give Jennifer Linch credit for writing directing and starting. For her I give 3/10 stars.

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!! 🙂

The love story of the film reminded me of Casper and Ghost of Demi Moore in the 90s. The fun cool fight scenes are pretty much like a Jackie chan movie in the early 80, 90s along with the pretty sick behind the scene footages at the end. Overall, the two leads are very good looking and have great chemistry. The old grandpa guy is funny . You don't see them making movies like this anymore. I enjoy it.

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.

Shot in 2020 and after two years of post-production, we finally have Jennifer Linch's feature film debut, Kung Fu Ghost. Is it perfect? No. Does it need to be perfect? No. Is it fun? Yes! Linch clearly busted her butt (literally and figuratively) to get the film made as it was a passion project, having grown up watching fantasy wuxia pian and romance stuff. She also likes comedy and let's face it, it will not be for everyone. However, for a feature film debut, give Linch credit.

Going from ditzy lazy girl to kung fu warrior is quite a feat and there are some pretty interesting flashbacks and twists that keep the story going enough. Linch is a martial artist so she was able to handle her fight scenes well.

This is just the beginning of what could be an exciting journey for Jennifer Linch. I, for one, wants to see what she will conjure up next!
