synopsis

Acclaimed action director Liu Chia-liang makes a mind-boggling directorial debut in The Spiritual Boxer, which not only quickly established Liu as a genius director but he was also credited with introducing comedy into the kung-fu genre; the pre-cursor for Jackie Chan's kung-fu comedies. Its Ghostbusters meets George C. Scott's The Flim-Flam Man as a pseudo-ghost catcher, wittily portrayed by kung-fu comedienne Wang Yu, and catches more than he bargained for.
