A Chinese Ghost Story 3    (1991)
After the excess of the first sequel , the third instalment tends to come back to formula that made A Chinese Ghost Story part 1 famous. The two movies are very similar and made critics assumed that this one was made by Ching Siu Tung to prove that he was good director enough to shoot a movie without the help of Tsui Hark. If it's true, this movie proves at least the difficulties of Ching Siu Tung to direct scenes other than action sequences. The result is however very entertaining to watch compared to the various Ghost-and-Kung-Fu stories flourishing at this time in HK. A good cast, solid special effects and beautiful costumes are a plus. It has as well this libertine tone and even an erotic touch that avoid the audience to fall asleep as usual in front of sequels.
