YesAsia Editorial Description

Directed by Jeff Lau (A Chinese Odyssey, All for the Winner), Out of the Dark features a never-wilder-or-wackier Stephen Chow as a mental patient who battles ghosts. Chow is Leon, a black-clad, sunglasses-wearing ghostbuster who arrives at a high-rise Hong Kong housing estate in time to save the locals from some pissed off ghosts. But more ghosts will be arriving soon, so Leon must train the security staff in his wacked-out spectre-battling ways - which includes tools like a slingshot, candies, plastic wrap, and a ghost-sensing plant. His plans work, putting the ghosts on the ropes, but once Leon himself is possessed by a particularly malicious ghost, will anybody be able to stop him?

Co-starring Karen Mok, Out of the Dark has earned a reputation as Stephen Chow's darkest film, adding brutal violence, copious blood, and scads of black humor to the nonsense jokes, movie parodies, and toilet humor that fans of his early work expect. Aside from the obvious nod towards Luc Besson's Leon (a.k.a. The Professional), Chow and company skewer Highlander, Wong Kar-Wai's Fallen Angels (Karen Mok does the honors by parodying her own award-winning role), and even director Jeff Lau's long history of successful horror comedies, including The Haunted Cop Shop, Operation Pink Squad 2, and Mortuary Blues, among others. Breathlessly-paced and outrageously off-color, Out of the Dark is easily one of Stephen Chow's most hilarious (and notorious) works.

Mr. Lee gets the security team to help. Meanwhile, the ghost of Lee's mother appears. Mrs. Lee is scared off, and a mysterious person called Leon promptly turns up, so Mrs. Lee is saved. Leon is an expert ghostbuster.

  One of the residents, Kwan, witnesses how Leon fights with the ghost, and she falls in love with him although she knows that he has been mentally ill. Soon after that, Lee's mother appears again, and she tells the security leader, Mr. Lo, that her son and daughter-in-law in fact murdered her. The facts are revealed and the Lee couple force Mr. Lo to jump from the building. Meanwhile, Leon turns up again and shoots at Mr. Lee, making him fall from the building.

  In order to take revenge, Mrs. Lee dresses in red and jumps from the building, stating that she will be back, and will kill everyone on the night her spirit returns.
