Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kuei Chih-Hung directed this between his infamous 'Killer Snakes' and 'The Boxer's Omen,' completing his unhinged early-80s trilogy.
The film weaponizes traditional Chinese ghost marriage customs ('minghun') for dark comedy — a taboo most Hong Kong cinema avoided.
