In a dark, damp ancient tomb, greedy eyes fixate on a rigid corpse. The creaking of a crowbar echoes as the coffin lid slowly slides open, releasing the stench of centuries of decay. The lead thug, oblivious to the danger, dares to pry open the jaws of the stiffened zombie, forcibly snatching a luminous green "Chengbi Pearl." Unbeknownst to him, this act not only uncovers a pit of greed but also unleashes a long-dormant nightmare. 《The Ghost Punting》, born in 1991, vigorously shakes up the two hottest elements of Hong Kong cinema at the time – supernatural zombies and "Inspector Wear Skirts" action – like a cocktail. The story begins with a smuggling plot at the Weipeng Shipping Company. The general manager stops at nothing for the precious pearl, only to find the zombie "revives" after the pearl is removed from its mouth. At this moment, the special action unit led by Sibelle Hu and Kara Wai is already tracking the smuggling case. These glamorous policewomen, initially thinking they were dealing with petty thieves, never expected to be met with bloodthirsty monsters impervious to bullets. The best part of this film lies in its feeling of claustrophobia. When the imposing policewomen are trapped in a gloomy warehouse or a narrow corridor, they are not facing criminals who can be legally punished but rather evil spirits that hop around demanding life. This cross-genre clash between action and horror makes every fight both thrilling and absurdly funny.

If modern films are meticulously crafted French cuisine, then 《The Ghost Punting》 is a hearty and authentic street food stall, steaming hot and full of the unique wildness and vitality of that era of Hong Kong films. The greatest enjoyment of watching this film comes from watching the top action stars Sibelle Hu and Kara Wai "spar" with zombies on the screen. Their movements are clean and sharp, every move is real kung fu, and the heroic spirit of these women, even after thirty years, can still make you blush with admiration. Director Yeung Ka-Sing knows very well how to arouse the audience's emotions. He does not blindly pursue horror but intersperses a large amount of Hong Kong-style slapstick humor, especially the witty banter of supporting actors like Charlie Cho, which always makes you laugh while being scared of the zombies. This "thrill and delight" viewing experience is the most charming part of old Hong Kong films. The most impressive part is the metaphor of "greed" in the film. The pearl in the zombie's mouth is like a magic mirror, reflecting the avarice of the smugglers and leading to a series of unmanageable chaos. The whole movie is fast-paced, like a runaway roller coaster, from tomb robbery to police-and-thieves standoff, to the final supernatural chaos, hardly giving the audience a chance to breathe. If you miss that golden age full of film-like textures, fist-to-fist fighting, and imaginative plots, this movie is definitely an unforgettable nostalgic feast. 【电影介绍】 幽暗潮湿的古墓里,几双贪婪的眼睛死死盯着一具早已僵硬的古尸。随着撬棍刺耳的摩擦声,棺盖缓缓滑开,一股积压百年的腐臭味扑面而来。领头的悍匪不顾死活,竟然伸手抠开了僵尸紧闭的牙关,将一颗散发着幽幽绿光的澄碧珠强行夺走。他不知道的是,这一抠,不仅抠开了贪欲的深渊,更释放了一个沉睡已久的噩梦。 这部诞生于1991年的《关人鬼事》,把当时香港影坛最火的两个元素,灵幻僵尸与霸王花动作戏,像调鸡尾酒一样猛烈地摇晃在了一起。故事从威鹏船务公司的一场走私阴谋拉开序幕,总经理为了这颗价值连城的宝珠不择手段,却没料到宝珠离口后的僵尸竟然原地复活。而此时,由胡慧中和惠英红领衔的特别行动组正盯上了这桩走私案,这群英姿飒爽的女警原本以为只是对付几个毛贼,哪曾想迎接她们的,是子弹都打不透的嗜血怪物。 影片最绝的地方在于它那种密闭空间的压迫感。当威风凛凛的警花们被困在阴森的仓库或狭窄的走廊,面对的不是可以用法律制裁的罪犯,而是蹦跳着索命的邪祟,那种动作片与恐怖片的跨界碰撞,让每一场打斗都显得既惊心动魄又带着点荒诞的喜感。 【观影点评】 如果说现在的电影是精雕细琢的法餐,那么《关人鬼事》就是一份料足味重的地道大排档,热气腾腾,充满了那个时代港片独有的野性和生命力。看这部片子,最大的享受莫过于看胡慧中和惠英红这两位顶级打女在银幕上硬刚僵尸。她们的动作干净利落,一招一式都是实打实的真功夫,那种巾帼不让须眉的英气,哪怕隔着三十年的时光依然能把人帅出一脸血。 导演杨家曻非常懂得如何调动观众的情绪。他没有一味地追求恐怖,而是穿插了大量港式无厘头的幽默,尤其是曹查理等一众金牌绿叶的插科打诨,总能让你在被僵尸吓得缩脖子的时候,又忍不住笑出声来。这种又惊又喜的观影体验,正是老港片最迷人的地方。 最让人印象深刻的是片中关于贪欲的隐喻。僵尸口中的那颗珠子,就像是一面照妖镜,照出了走私商人的利欲熏心,也引出了后续一连串无法收场的混乱。整部电影节奏极快,像是一列失控的过山车,从盗墓夺宝到警匪对峙,再到最后的灵幻大混战,几乎没有给观众喘息的机会。如果你怀念那个满屏都是胶片质感、打斗拳拳到肉、情节天马行空的黄金年代,这部电影绝对是一份不可多得的怀旧大餐。
