Guilty of not being funny.

The makers of The Haunted Cop Shop should be arrested for crimes against comedy: the dreadfully puerile knockabout silliness that passes for humour in this late-'80s horror comedy didn't make me laugh once. I did giggle at the name of police madam Fanny Ho (Kitty Chan), but I don't think that was intended to be funny so it doesn't count.

The film takes place in the titular cop shop (note to fellow IMDb reviewer paul_haakonsen: 'cop shop' is British slang for a police station, so it does make sense), which was previously a clubhouse where Japanese soldiers committed seppuku. Now, their ghosts have arisen, taking on the form of vampires, and it is up to two wacky policemen - Kam Mark-K (Jacky Cheung) and Man-Chill (Ricky Hui) to deal with the undead.

The highlight of the whole film is the scene where Man-Chill is trying to reach a set of keys next to a female vampire strapped to a gurney: it's a genuinely tense moment and suggests that the film would have been much better as a proper scary movie than a daft horror comedy. If you're a massive fan of Hong Kong comedy, you might think differently, but for me, the Chinese sense of humour continues to be a source of much bewilderment.
