Anecdotes
Along with Le Poing de la vengeance (1979), this movie was filmed in early 1978. As Wei Lo's studio went bankrupt, they shelved both movies due to cost-cutting measures and Chan was loaned out to Seasonal Films for a two-picture deal. While there, he made Le Chinois se déchaîne (1978) and Le Maître chinois (1978) with Yuen Woo-Ping. The success of these two movies at the domestic box-office prompted Lo to give belated releases to this movie and Le Poing de la vengeance (1979).

Gaffes
When one of the ghosts tease Yi-Lang with the candle it is clear that there is a pane of glass between Yi-Lang and the candle because there is a clear reflection of that candle visible on-screen.

Versions alternatives

8/10

Highly entertaining kung fu flick

This movie (which really should have "Spiritual Kung Fu" listed as an alternate title) may be mostly for those who specifically like kung fu movies, but if you're one of those then this is a classic. While it forebodes the comedic action of later Chan movies, it is actually much more serious, and Jackie's part may be the biggest part, but it is almost matched by several other characters, so the emphasis doesn't lie so squarely on the lead character as it usually does in Chan's movies.

If you're a kung fu movie fan, don't listen to the negative comments posted here. This is one cool movie with lots of cool weirdness, and definitely some very cool fights. At one point, Jackie, who's still considered a novice, has to fight the 18 top students, and he licks every one of them in a long and impressive fight scene. This movie is definitely worth your while.

My rating: 8 out of 10.
