Encounters of the Spooky Kind (1980) watch online

Encounters of the Spooky Kind (Chinese: 鬼打鬼; pinyin: Guǐ dǎ guǐ; lit. 'Ghost Against Ghost') is a 1980 Hong Kong martial arts comedy horror film starring and directed by Sammo Hung, written by Hung and Huang Ying, and produced by Hung's film production company Bo Ho Film Company. Hung stars as Cheung, a rickshaw worker whose wife is having an affair with one of his wealthy clients. His wife and her lover hire a powerful sorcerer to kill Cheung, who is aided by the sorcerer's colleague (Chung Fat).

Released as Spooky Encounters in the United States, the film is also known as Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind, a more blatant mimicry of the title of the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). Encounters of the Spooky Kind was one of the first Hong Kong-produced action horror comedies; it popularized the production of films featuring jiangshi, hopping vampires of Chinese folklore, though it was not the first film to feature jiangshi. Encounters of the Spooky Kind was followed by a 1990 stand-alone sequel starring Hung and Lam Ching-ying, Encounters of the Spooky Kind II (also known as Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind 2). A soft reboot directed by Dick Wei was filmed in 2016.
