YesAsia Editorial Description

From director/actor Lau Ka Wing comes Those Merry Souls, an action comedy starring the odd pair of Yuen Biao and Eric Tsang! Lung (Yuen Biao) and Tak (Eric Tsang) are a couple of stuntmen with wildly different personalities. While Lung is cheerful and daring, Tak is pessimistic and cowardly. He's also afraid of his own father (Lam Ching Ying), who unknown to him is really a grim reaper assigned to collect the souls of those about to die! But when Tak's soul shows up on the list of souls to be collected, his father ignores his calling...with unexpected and dangerous results! It's up to Lung and Tak to brave the silly and the supernatural as Those Merry Souls hits deliriously entertaining high gear! Director Lau Ka Wing's gets funny and versatile performances from his lead actors. Yuen Biao shows off his celebrated athleticism, and Eric Tsang embodies his dopey and gutless character exceptionally well. Featuring cameos from many Hong Kong Cinema luminaries, including Sammo Hung, Moon Lee and Lau Ka Wing himself, Those Merry Souls is as off-the-wall exciting and energetic as Hong Kong Cinema gets!
