What makes it different from others?

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

On the one night of the year that spirits are free to roam the earth, Chun Sing (Billy Chong) is visited by the ghost of his murdered father, who tells his son where to find his killer, Kam Tai Fu (Lo Lieh), so that he can avenge his death. On his way, Chun finds a magic book that enables him to call on the help of the dead, which comes in very useful when he faces a powerful wizard (Chin-Lai Sung) in the employ of Kam Tai Fu. Problems arise, however, when the black magician manages to steal the book. Can Chun, aided by a government agent investigating the murders, find a way to defeat the wizard and get revenge on Kam Tai Fu? Of course he can—that goes without saying—but what happens along the way is a little less predictable…For example, who could guess that the one and only Count Dracula would be summoned to take part in the fight between good and evil? Not me, that's for sure. I also didn't expect to see full frontal female nudity during a sex scene, or a ghost with extendable arms, or a pair of demons with tongues that would make Gene Simmons jealous, or the wizard spewing streams of fire from his mouth, or Kam Tai Fu being pursued by the flaming scalps of his victims. Nosiree, that's not what I expected at all. I did, of course, expect lots of martial arts, but was surprised by just how impressive the fighting was, Billy Chong performing far better than he did in his previous supernatural martial arts outing, Kung Fu Zombie. The moves in this film are brilliantly choreographed and perfectly executed, making this a treat for fight fans, even if the spooky stuff doesn't appeal all that much. Oh, and unlike Kung Fu Zombie, this one keeps the silly comedy to an absolute minimum.7.5 out of 10, rounded up to 8 for the inexplicable moment where a group of giggling women defeat the wizard's magic by flinging flannels at him.

Wild over the top Kung fu horror film that is actually pretty good in its own demented way. It has something to do with the dead coming back and taking revenge on the evil that some men do. Its one of those films that keeps you watching just because you can't predict what is going to happen next. I've been watching a great number of martial arts films lately and the sameness and predictability has really been wearing me down. Fortunately I ran across this film in the bargain bin and I ended up really enjoying myself. If you find yourself tired of the same old same old in regard to martial arts films I suggest you give this little gem a try. Worth way more than the buck I paid to pick it up

Back in 1986, I saw Kung Fu Zombie, which is my opinion one of the best kung fu movies of all times....billy chong's character of Pang Fung was funny, witty, and, above all, excellent in his fighting techniques.It was also in 1986 when I saw the trailers to Kung Fu From Beyond the Grave (also starring billy chong). Just having seen Kung Fu Zombie, I thought it would be just as good. Zombies and billy chong...what a great combination.I didn't find Kung Fu From Beyond the Grave until 2003. This was the biggest disappointment of my life. I had to order it from England. This movie was totally a waste of time. I don't blame the characters...I blame the director. There was nothing special about the fight scenes. The "zombies" were just plain stupid. I was actually embarrassed watching it with my brother, after hyping it up so much all these years! One semi-funny scene was when the wizard calls Dracula to save him. Aside from that, the movie fell flat on its face!!Maybe I shouldn't be to harsh to Kung Fu From beyond the Grave. I was expecting it to live up to the cleverness and wittiness of Kung Fu Zombie, which is clearly didn't. This movie was a run-of-the-mill kung fu movie. When it was finished, I literally threw the tape in the trash. It was just that awful...

Shame that almost nobody seems to have seen this. This is worth going well out of your way for. If you like kung fu and you like the bizarre this is the movie for you. Billy Chong must enlist a gaggle of hopping dead assassins to get revenge for the death of his father. The boss of the villains is not particularly impressive, but his main henchman, an evil wizard, is one of the coolest villains I've ever seen, in or out of kung fu. This guy is smart as a whip, cunning as could be, powerful in magic, and a better kung fu fighter than even the hero. His magic is great, especially when he actually, out of the blue, summons the western Dracula to fight for him. Watch this movie, you'll be amazed that anything this wacko ever got made, and made well.
