A CHINESE GHOST STORY III (1991)


 Even before the title appears this Hong Kong action/fantasy/kung fu flick starts right out with the batshit-nutty action as a lady demon smashes up some trees with her monster tongue then we fast forward 100 years and end up following some Buddhist fellows around who get mixed up with some ghostly demon trouble.  Heads roll, blood is splattered about and this whole movie plays out almost like some superhero tale of monks with crazy magical powers that fly around and fight witches, devils, demons that look like hot Asian chicks with long sharp retractable finger nails and finally a temple that turns into a giant monster.  
 I don't think this is really a sequel to the first two CHINESE GHOST STORY movies but I haven't seen those in a long time.  From what I recall all three films basically reuse the same plot over and over.  In 2011 there was yet again a new updated remake of this story called A CHINESE FAIRY TALE and that title makes it sound horrible.  I guess this one here is worth a look if you like the more crazy supernatural side of Asian cinematic weirdness.
