01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A crazy scientist reanimates a corpse with a chemical, creating a super hopping ghost. The corpse can only be controlled by the sound of music. Taoist priest (Lam Ching-ying) and his two assistants must stop it before it destroys the countryside.
02 / FACES IN THE FRAME
