Hoi sam gwai: Chong gwai

Having already seen the previous two movies in the "Happy Ghost" franchise, I had the opportunity to sit down in 2021 to watch the third movie in the series. Oddly enough this movie have eluded me for so long, especially since I am a huge fan of Maggie Cheung. So needless to say that there was joy when I stumbled upon the "Hoi sam gwai: Chong gwai" (aka "Happy Ghost III") movie in 2021.

And I am thrilled to see that "Happy Ghost III" continues on in the spirit - pardon the pun - of the previous two movies. So if you enjoyed these movies, then you most certainly will also like "Happy Ghost III".

The storyline told in "Happy Ghost III" was every bit as funny and enjoyable as the previous two movies, and it was nice to have Raymond Pak-Ming Wong return to reprise his role. And of course it was such a treat to have Maggie Cheung in the movie, because she just brightens up everything she is in.

It was also interesting to see that it was creative force Johnny To that directed the movie, and Tsui Hark also had a part to play in the movie.

"Happy Ghost III" is an embodiment of the mid-1980s Hong Kong slapstick comedy genre, for better or worse. I enjoy it, so this was right up my alley.

I am rating "Happy Ghost III" a six out of ten stars.
