When it comes to zombie films, one naturally thinks of Lin Zhengying, and "Mr. Zombie" is Uncle Ying's pioneering work. After that, countless follow-up works have been imitated and never surpassed.
As the pinnacle of Hong Kong zombie films, "Mr. Zombie" not only has nervous zombie scenes, but also adds a lot of martial arts and comedy elements. The effect of horror and laughter is excellent. Watching it again after the movie is still hilarious. The image of the Taoist priest created by Lin Zhengying is deeply rooted and down-to-earth. When one eyebrow, long coat, and Taomu sword think of these, they immediately think of Uncle Ying's Maoshan Taoist priest. The two teasing apprentices are full of jokes from time to time, Qian Xiaohao is in charge of fighting, and Xu Guanying's literary talent is responsible for laughing. The performances of several supporting roles were also very good. Lou Nanguang's dead fat man, Li Saifeng's innocent little cousin, and even the ghost bride who staged a passionate scene with Qiusheng were all impressed. In the middle of the night in the woods, bgm put "Her vision, her vision... "..." is simply a shadow of childhood. In addition, the things used to subdue zombies in the film are not groundless. Ink buckets, chicken blood, glutinous rice and other things to ward off evil spirits can often be seen when Taoist monks and monks were doing things when they were young, which made the audience feel more immersive.
All in all, this movie has become a classic, and people are regretting Lin Zhengying's untimely death, but fortunately, these lights and shadows are left behind. It was also after "Mr. Zombie" that opened the "big zombie era" of Hong Kong movies.
