Another HK Cinema Wild Ride, 21 March 2004
Author: peterc-8 from boston ma

Chu is a lowly debt collector for the local strongman Wang. Problem is that Chu is too nice/honest/dopey to be very good at the grubby collections job. Chu is treated badly by his boss Wang. Eventually Wang catches one of his twin daughters in the act of seducing the hapless bumpkin Chu. Wang naturally blames Chu rather than the daughter. For punishment Wang sends Chu on an impossible quest to Satan's Temple to steal a statue of Judge Lu.

At Satan's temple, Judge Lu - the statue - comes to life. The Judge is impressed by Chu's good nature and decides to make some changes to help Chu. Judge Lu gives Chu's wife a good heart. He gives Chu more brains, and most importantly endows Chu with a gigantic "Magic Dick".

At this point things get a bit weird.

Chu with his new brains and his Magic Dick get into some the wildest adventures I have ever seen.

Chinese Erotic Ghost Story is like a Mad TV skit version of a "farmers daughter" dirty joke. Slapstick shtick, hammy mugging, fake sex, and some of the goofiest most tasteless scenes I have ever seen. Has the mentality of a Chinese version of American Pie.

My biggest problem with this film is that is reuses the same joke over and over again. It gets a little old by the end of the film. Also the English subtitles on the DVD are dreadful - nothing you can really do about that though.

On the upside though...Chinese Erotic Ghost Story is much weirder/wilder than Sex and Zen. Hilariously funny in a few scenes. Also there is enough nudity in this film to make your head explode. Despite the bad subtitles, wooden acting, largely absent plot...the film somehow manages to keep you interested right up to the end. It is not that you really care what is going to happen to the characters. It is more that you sit transfixed hoping that the makers of the film have one more wacko scene to unleash on you.

Not Oscar material, but well worth watching, if just for the W.T.F___?!?!?! factor.
