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 ... ...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 ...
