Wah Li, known as Fat Boy to his friends, lives with his great-uncle the priest (Uncle). Together with his oddball friends Lai Li and Momo, Wah Li helps Uncle to run the local funeral services. When the body Ma Lun Chio is brought back to the village by a new wife and her "brother", Wai Li is suspicious. He sets out to find out how his friend died, but things are not what they seem.
Stunts
Sammo Hung's physical comedy—he's a human wrecking ball in priest robes.
Practical Effects
Gloriously janky ghost effects that somehow work better than CGI ever could.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sammo Hung reportedly gained 30 pounds for the role, then lost it during filming because the stunts were so demanding. Method eating.
The film's Taoist rituals were performed by actual practitioners consulted by Wu Ma—making this one of the most accidentally accurate horror-comedies of the era.
