Review of Funny Ghost

Funny Ghost (1989)
4/10
Sandra Ng couldn't save this schlock
16 February 2010
Maybe this wouldn't be so bad, I thought, as the movie started. Because of the popularity of horror comedies... or rather, "horror" comedies, in the 80's, Hong Kong mass-produced them so hard that storyline was frequently the least important factor. As long as there was a way to tie in cheap jokes and "funny" ghosts.

The movie starts off without the ghost, thankfully, and it's just Sandra Ng sassing it up with some girlfriends. I love her but this is not one of her better works. It's fine for a while, thanks to her comedic genius, but then the whole stupid spiel about the ghost comes in and like a genie in a bottle, it lets her enact a whole bunch of well, really stupid fantasy sequences (as evidenced by the poster). The whole movie is a downhill ride, unfortunately.
