Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Tsai Yang-Ming was a prolific Shaw Brothers director who pivoted to Taiwan's booming local comedy market as Hong Kong cinema dominated the region.
The film's Taoist ritual sequences were performed by actual religious consultants, making this one of the most 'authentic' fake exorcism movies of the decade.
