Basically this is a spin-off from the original movie with a cast full of totally famous big names of Hong Kong. Unlike the first movie, this has a lot of humour added to it... so it's more of a light-hearted movie than the first one. This humour, in my humble opinion, has deemed this movie a failure.

The first movie was a classic and since it was a love story, had a serious feel to it. This one, Chinese Ghost Story Number 2, is funny, but sometimes funny at the wrong times... which makes it feel like it's taking the mick.

Having said that, this movie has a lot more action and has a lot more magicainary in it. Like you can freeze someone if you paint a sign on your hand and aim it at the person you want to freeze and shout "Freeze!". Funny. Funny in the way that you have to watch it to understand.

Following from the first movie, the girl ghost has reincarnated and does not have any consciousness of the lover of her previous life. Leslie, her old lover, DOES remember her and is distraught that she doesn't remember him. Does she find out who he is? Does she fall in love with him again? What about her younger sister... ?

Watch it to find out.

Short but good op. Bit more info might be nice though. I've actually seen this a while back but those who haven't might want to know more about it. Take care
