Mo and Ma take on the job, accompanied by their apprentices, and begin their journey. But a dark wizard, Ha-La-Chak, is on their trail, searching for a secret letter possibly concealed within Wong's body.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'hopping vampire' (jiangshi) tradition peaked in 1980s-90s Hong Kong cinema, blending Qing dynasty folklore with slapstick action. This 2001 release arrived late to the party but kept the practical effects alive.
Gallen Lo was simultaneously starring in the hit TVB series 'Golden Faith'—he filmed this during his days off, explaining why his vampire lover spends half the movie unconscious.
