Can Anyone Help??? HK Expert needed...
I'm looking for 2 Hong Hong flicks on DVD... the hard part is I don't know their names, and I need you fine people who know their HK movies to help me.
The first one is probably from the mid-80s or maybe early 1990s. It had vampires that hopped around and they could be stooped by holding up a parchment or sacred scoll to their face.... Does that sound remotely familiar to anyone???
The other one is probably ealry 1990s. It was like a cross between Ghostbusters, The Professional, and about three other movies. I recall one of the characters carried around a plant like Leon in The Professional, and it had plenty of ghosts. Ring any bells?
If so, please e-mail me at: [email protected]. I'm hoping someone knows what I'm talking about and that they exsist on DVD!
Thanks...
Dave
P.S. Does anyone know if "Baby Bomb" is on DVD????

Mr. Vampire is a good movie, Out of the Dark is perhaps Stephen Chow's worst movie of them all.
Bomb Disposal Officer (Baby Bom) is not out on DVD, but it's a pretty lame movie IMO.

Here's one I've been trying to identify - not much to go on, though
It's a gambling movie, comedy. I saw it in the early 80's. The scene I remember:
gambler in tux playing cards, struck in the face with those throwing stars.
Broad comedy a la a Wong Jing film. Sorry, that's it.

it wouldn't be Casino Raiders - not close to being a comedy and it came out in 1988.
Gambling movies really only became popular after Casino Raiders/God of Gamblers in 1989. Before that, I could really only think of one movie - Games Gamblers Play. If it weren't for the timing equation, it almost would sound like either Top Bet, where Dodo Cheng (yeah I know she's female) uses cards as a weapon, or City Hunter, where Leon Lai does the same.

It's not Top Bet
I saw that just recently. I picked up Casino Raiders just to see if that might be it
but I haven't watched it yet. I've seen all the GOG films and Games Gamblers Play.
I haven't seen City Hunter.
I wish I could remember more but it was a _long_ time ago. And they were
throwing stars not cards. That's the one thing I can remember, the guy's face with
stars sticking all over his face.
Anyone seen these films, or know if they're available on video?
A Gambler's Story(1980)
Giant of Casino(1981)
Gambler's Delight(1981)
The Gambler's Duel(1981)
The King of Gambler(1981)
The Gambler and his Kung-Fu master(1981)
Thanks.
