About the film:
In this installment of a phenomenal saga of the supernatural, four young people are caught in a tug-of-war of evil between an Imperial Wizard and a corrupt General. A wandering scholar (Leslie Cheung), still mourning the loss of his ghostly love, escapes wrongful imprisonment and falls for a rebellious woman (Joey Wang). Meanwhile, an evil monster threatens to destroy all hopes of love unless a maniacal Taoist ghostbuster (Jacky Cheung) can stop it first! Outrageous special effects galore.
