    Storyline

    Edit
    On New Years Eve 2000 the cinema on the 666 King's Road presents its last show before closure. Unfortunately the forces of Hell arise, who are very unsatisfied with the modern movie quality. A horrible, gory bloodbath starts out, including a soccer match with a decapitated head, a nasty faeces monster and several other nastinesses. —Moritz Muehlenhoff <jmm@inutil.org>

    This was pretty terrible...
    Well, if you ever have seen any of the comedies that made it out of the Hong Kong cinema in the 1990s, then you should have a pretty good idea of what you are in for here when you sit down to watch the 1999 horror comedy "Gwai ching lei tai hei" (aka "Last Ghost Standing")...

    ...Except that "Gwai ching lei tai hei" just didn't have an ounce of laughs to it. This was without a doubt one of the worst Hong Kong comedies from the 1990s that I have had to sit through. And believe you me, this movie was quite the ordeal to sit through.

    The storyline, as written by Siu-Hung Chung, felt like it was written by a middle school student. The story was just so ludicrously bad and horrible. It was fully devoid of laughs and any sense of coherent red thread. And that made it difficult to watch this movie from writer and director Siu-Hung Chung.

    Initially I had expect that the movie might have so sense of entertainment to it when I saw that Francis Ng was also in the movie. But that was not the case, and even with the likes of Simon Lui and Pinky Cheung on the cast list, the movie just flopped.

    "Gwai ching lei tai hei" is not a movie that I would recommend you waste your time, money or effort on.

    My rating of "Gwai ching lei tai hei" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
