Mr Vampire is a 1985 Hong Kong comedy horror film directed by Ricky Lau and produced by Sammo Hung. The film's box office success led to the creation of a Mr. Vampire franchise, with the release of four sequels directed by Ricky Lau from 1986 to 1992, and subsequent similarly themed films with different directors released between 1987 and 1991. The film was released under the Chinese title 暫時停止呼吸 (literally: Hold Your Breath for a Moment) in Taiwan.

Plot

edit

Taoist priest Kau is engaged to perform a reburial for a deceased rich man. Together with his inept students Man-choi and Chau-sang, Kau discovers that the corpse is still almost intact and looks alive. They attempt to prevent the corpse from resurrecting by drawing magical lines all over the coffin, but the corpse still breaks out and becomes a geung si (Chinese "hopping" vampire, or zombie).

The vampire runs amok and starts killing many people while Kau and his students try to stop it. In one battle, Man-choi is bitten by the vampire and infected with the "vampire virus", causing him to almost turn into a vampire as well. Meanwhile, Chau-sang is seduced by a female ghost and nearly loses his soul to her. Kau has a hard time dealing with his students' problems and putting an end to the vampire's rampage.

Production

edit

Casting

edit

Director Ricky Lau wanted a fresh-faced girl whom people were unfamiliar with to play the role of Mr Yam's daughter so he avoided choosing a well-known actress. He spotted dancer Moon Lee at a performance and approached her and asked "Are you interested in acting as you'd fit into a part I have?"[1][2] [3][3]

Lam Ching-ying was recommend to the director by Sammo Hung to play the main role, the director had seen Ching-ying before on Prodigal Son which the director had worked on.[4][5] The director noted in a interview that "He seems cold but actually he is with a good heart" that was why he was suitable for the role.[4]

The director had still not settled the actress to play ghost’s role, It was until a chat between the production staff and the director that the director decided to let Wong Siu-fung have a try. [4] Chin Siu-ho was choose because he knew Kung Fu and all about action scenes..[4][5] The Director noted in a interview "he was serious and used no stuntman".[4]

Sammo Hung (producer) hired Billy Lau to provide additional comedy to Mr vampire.[5]

Writing and inspiration

edit

According to the producer Sammo Hung, the idea for Mr vampire originated through childhood stories he heard from his mother who was also an actress.[5] One of the major sources of inspiration for the film Mr. Vampire was from a collection of supernatural tales called Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio by Qing Dynasty writer Pu Songling. Mr. Vampire is based on a story of a resurrected corpse.[6][5] The script was not written by Ricky Lau alone it was written by many script writers[4], who included Roy Szeto (Chak Han), Wong Ying and Barry Wong (Ping-Yiu).[5] When the script was finished Eric Tsang review it Sammo Hung also reviewed it and gave Lau some ideas.[4]

In an interview the director mentioned “Compared with nowadays the situation was different because now they often use less time to finish the script”[4] In the original script, the ghost (Jade) was written to die during the film but during filming Lau decided to change the ending and keep her alive so that could it would be more romantic.[4]

The director and writers used a cheap gimmick only once, when they made a man in poor quality gorilla suit chase the characters down a mountain.[5]

Filming and locations

edit

Filming lasted more than five months to almost half a year.[7][5] While on the set the actors would sometimes crack jokes, and if director Ricky Lau liked them he would retain those scenes in the film.[7][5] The love scene that contained no violence took two weeks to complete, in addition to a further three weeks of shooting in Taiwan.[7][5]

The production team built a village that appeared in the opening and ending scenes of the film, while a few scenes were shot on a standing set near Taipei because they lacked a good studio set of a long street running into the distance, which could be done by CGI in more recent times. The scene in which a dead body was found was shot in Taiwan on a set that has stone arches. In that set a real street was constructed from stone, and has been reused for other films and television series. In Hong Kong most studios could not afford a standing set.[6] It took one week in Taiwan to set up the sets mentioned above.[6] The Golden Harvest studios were used as the set for the scene were Master Kau is in jail.[6]

The scene were the body is being exhumed was filmed just out of the New Territories in Hong Kong. [5][6] The background has been used in such movies as The Young Master and the end fight for The 36th Chamber of Shaolin.[6] Also filmed in the New Territories were the scene where the police go to find the vampire in the cave and the scene in which a body is being burnt.[6]

Producer Sammo Hung visited the set less frequently to promote a relaxed atmosphere, as he was aware that his presence may make the cast and crew nervous.[5] Hung took hands-off role on the film and entrusted Mr Vampire to protégé director Ricky Lau.[4]

A real snake was used for the scene showing one being cut, and it was used to make snake soup later. This was because the production team was unable to afford a fake snake. This was also the same with the scene where a chicken's blood is needed and its throat is cut and a bowl held under it neck to collect the blood.[6]

Mr. Vampire is set in the Qing Dynasty but the vampire's costume belonged to the previous dynasty, the Ming.[6] Oddly in one scene after Chau-sang has woke up Ting-ting had a white flower in her hair which signifies morning but it is night time in the film.[6]

Action scenes in the movie were designed both by the director and the Chiny-Ying as he was also an action director. There wasn't much time for the director and actors to sleep.[4] The director and actors had 2 shifts (12 hours per shift). The Day shift is from seven in the morning till seven in the evening.[4] The Night shift is from seven in the evening work till seven in the morning and for many actors they didn't really sleep for maybe two weeks. [4]

During filming the extremely hot summer months, Yuen Wah suffered not allow to remove the plastic from his face.[4][5] After several hours in the make-up chair, he spent the working day unable to move, talk or eat properly. Ironically, Ricky Lau cut a lot of Yuen's footage from the finish film, feeling that too much vampire hopping would slow dow the pace.[5]

Near the end of shooting Mr. Vampire, the cast and crew under came pressure to work faster, as the movies screening was around the corner.[5]

Moon Lee recalls the Mr. Vampire shoot as largely enjoyable experience, Lam Ching Ying always looked serious when filming. He was dedicated professional, though friends have mentioned his sense of humor. [5]

It is long been rumoured that Hung effectively directed Mr Vampire on his own with the inexperienced Ricky Lau serving as his assistant.[5] Hung has always denied the story and Chin Siu Ho has confirmed Ricky Lau as the true director of Mr. Vampire.[5]

Mr. Vampire is credited as the very first film directed by Hong Kong director Ricky Lau. Lau had previously worked with Hung (the producer) as a camera operator.[4]

Stunts

edit

At different parts of the movie wires were used, the production staff had to take care of the wires and not to show them on screen, they would spray wires the same colour as the set background. If the wires were show, they would have to take it overseas to fix which was not popular at that time.[4] Although for the scene where actor Chin Siu-ho performed a back-flip up the door no wires were used.[6]

Action director Yuen Wah doubled as a vampire for some of the more acrobatic shots,[6] such as the end scene depicting the vampire being burnt (the flames and oil were real).[6]

Music

edit

Most Mr. Vampires atmospheric scores that were both spooky and humorous was mainly supplied by Anders Nelsson's music production company The Melody Bank.[5] Jade's theme song, Gwai San Noeng (鬼新娘; Ghost Bride), was performed by the Jie'er Choir (傑兒合唱團).[6][5] The music was written by Lee On-Tat and lyrics were written by Cheng Kwok-Kong.[5]

Budget

edit

Mr. Vampire was originally given a budget of HKD 4.5 million as budget, Yet halfway of production, it was all already spent.[4] The director then had to ask for more money and he was give a further HKD 1 million to finish the film, after one week the money was also spent. When the film was finally finish it had cost HKD 8.5 million. Sammo estimated the film would cost HKD 2 to 3 million lost to Golden Harvest[4]

In Singapore the movie was cut and classified as PG and later was reclassified to NC16 (Not suitable for children under 16)[15]

Critical reception

edit

Mr. Vampire was well received in Taiwan, southeast Asia, and especially in Japan, where it inspired a vampire craze with toys and a lot of other merchandise that had a vampire on them.[1][5] [2][3]

The film was featured as part of Channel 4's Chinese Ghost Story season in 1990 introduced by Johnathan Ross being played alongside some similar movies in the genre including Encounters of the Spooky Kind, Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain, Esprit d'amour, Spiritual Love and Rouge.[16]

In a DVD commentary of Mr. Vampire, Bey Logan said "Mr. Vampire is very basic visual effects and was only really the start of visual effects in Hong Kong filmmaking."[6]

LoveHKFilm described it as "quite possibly the seminal entry in HK’s famous horror-comedy genre" and "a fun movie that showcases Lam Ching-Ying at his best."[17]

The English lanauge soundtrack made for Mr vampire is low quality, redubbing the characters with bland mid American accents. The sound effects are in acquit, clomping footsteps are added as a distracting effect. This version of the film is not widely circulated.[5]

Mr. Vampire made the Hong Kong Film Archive's "100 Must-See Hong Kong Movies" at number 77.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).[18]

Spin off media

edit

English version

edit

Golden Harvest attempted to make an English-language version of Mr. Vampire under the title Demon Hunters.[6][5] The film was produced by David Chan. However the team could not get Lam Ching-ying to reprise his role because the latter was busy with another film overseas. Yuen Wah, who worked on the original Mr. Vampire, replaced Lam and handled the action sequences as well. American actor Jack Scalia, who acted in the 1978 television series Dallas, was also recruited into the cast.[6] [5]

Initially Tanya Roberts from Charlie's Angels and Sheena: Queen of the Jungle was chosen but it did not work out so she was replaced by Michelle Phillips, a singer from the vocal group The Mamas & the Papas. They all flew out to Hong Kong to start filming at Golden Harvest studios. After several weeks it was abandon the reason was Yuen Wah could not speak English very well. Raymond Chow pulled the plug, saying "we started but we need not finish".[6][5] The Demon Hunters filmed footage still exists and is keep in Golden Harvest's archives. [6][5]

Since the failed English version of Mr. Vampire Michelle Yeoh's company Han Entertainment is planning a similar movie.[6][19]

Sequels

edit

Highly successful at the time, both in Hong Kong and as a cult film favorite with overseas enthusiasts of Hong Kong cinema, It inspired numerous parodies and homage films. The film launched Lam Ching-ying's character, the unibrowed Taoist exorcist, whom he would portray not only in the Mr. Vampire sequels, but also in many other films, including unrelated ones.

Mr. Vampire sequels, included Mr. Vampire II, Mr. Vampire III and Mr. Vampire IV. Most do not relate to the first film but are set on the same themes. The same cast members appear in some films but they are recast in different roles. They are also other films of the Chinese vampire genre starring Lam Ching-ying, such as Encounters of the Spooky Kind II (1990) and Magic Cop (1990), or directed by Lam himself, such as Vampire Vs. Vampire (1989), which are all separate from the Mr. Vampire franchise.[20] In addition, Lam uses his real name for his character in some of the films he acted in.

A related television series titled Vampire Expert (殭屍道長) starring Lam Ching-ying was broadcast from 1996 to 1997. However, during the filming of the third season, Lam developed liver cancer and died before the project was completed. The first season of My Date with a Vampire, a television series produced by ATV, was specially dedicated to Lam, and the story was based on future events in Vampire Expert.

Theatrical play

edit

Mr. Vampire was adapted into a theatrical play and was performed at the Cultural Centre's Studio Theatre in Hong Kong from 29th to 31st October 2010 as part of a Halloween theme and New Vision Arts Festival.[21] Tang Lok-yin is the music director/composer for this play with Pun Siu-fai as the choreographer.[21]

The inspiration for this play was that of the music directors in a interview he said that when he was a child he watch a lot of Lam Ching-Ying's movies with his younger brother.[21] She also mentioned Lam had played a Taoist priest in the Mr.[21] Vampire series and that is the inspiration behind the director's contemporary musical dance theatre. She also said she was sort of forced into watching the movies because her parents are big fans.[21]

On the stage it is decorated with six coffins and a large moon on top, Mr. Vampire the play begins with a the suicide of a grief stricken woman.[21] The play shows the audience the popular understanding of qi (breath) and the mythical consequences if it does not leave the body of a person who dies in grudge, The play then portray love and hate with the use of animalistic dancers alternating between kissing and biting each other.[21] The show then transforms into a performance of similar to that of Michael Jackson’s music videos Thriller and Beat It before turning into the rage of the grudging beings.[21]
