About This DVD
A Chinese Ghost Story - 1
Legendary Hong Kong producer/director Tsui Hark and filmmaker Ching Siutung
combine forces in this high-flying supernatural romance classic.
Ning Caichen (Leslie Cheung) is a lowly tax collector who takes refuge for the
night at the spooky Lam Ro temple. There he encounters and promptly falls in
love with a beautiful ghost named Nie Xiaoqian (Joey Wang). Unfortunately
Xiaoqian is damned to serve the evil hermaphroditic tree spirit Lao Lao, who
(thanks to an extraordinarily long tongue) feasts on the souls of amorous young
males.
Usually Xiaoqian, along with her comely sister Qing, tempts would-be Lotharios
to their arboreal doom, but she too is smitten with the downtrodden wanderer.
Soon afterwards, Caichen meets Master Yan (Ma Wu), a Taoist hermit, martial arts
master, and a sworn enemy of Lao Lao, who tells him of Xiaoqian's true,
otherworldly nature. Nonetheless, true love proves to be strong. Caichen
promises Xiaoqian that he will help spring her from her dubious employment and
Xiaoqian protects her love from the evil wood sprite.
A Chinese Ghost Story - 2
In this installment of the saga of the supernatural, four young people are
caught in a tug-o-war of evil between an Imperial Wizard and a corrupt General.
With the help of a kind Wizard, Ning escapes from jail where he was unjustly
put. On the run, he meets a young scholar and two sisters who are trying to
rescue their father from a corrupt General. Despite the presence of a corpse
that just won't die, they manage to succeed. But this only leads to a run-in
with the Imperial Wizard, who captures everyone but Ning and one of the
sisters...
A Chinese Ghost Story - 3
This is the third in a series of movies featuring creatures from Chinese ghost
stories. It begins with a scene from the first movie of the series, which shows
the hero in an epic conflict with something called the Tree Devil, which has
been put to sleep for a hundred years. Now it is "later," and the story focuses
on two traveling monks, a scholarly disciple and his aged master, who are
traveling the countryside bearing an image of the Buddha to be given to a
particular shrine. One night they stay at a haunted temple and become the focus
of the amorous attentions of two sexy ghosts, who are in league with the Tree
Devil.
