"I really like the Mr. Vampire series. Volume 3 was much better than volume 2. In Volume 3, Mr. Vampire is confronted by a rogue priest (Uncle Ming) who uses the disembodied ghosts of his 2 nephews to bilk victims out of cash. When Mr. Vampire and Ming meet, Mr. Vampire's genuine personality and honorable nature eventually wins the rogue over, and they become friends. Together, they team up to fight a group of supernatural mongols who raid the town seeking to rape, burn. and pillage. (Of course, what else?)This was a great episode. In particular I like the inclusion of the two ghosts. They were 'good ghosts' who spent their time looking after their 'uncle.' I felt sorry for them, and hoped they might be so way to be resurrected Unfortunately not. Also, the villain's motivation was not quite clear. The Mongol's were led by an evil woman with a cat skull (?) inlaid tiara. I never quite got, her relationship to the two men she tried so hard to rescue. Was one her boyfriend? Or her brothers? What? Even though she was evil, I felt impressed by her loyalty.Things I could do without? The melted 'blob' ghosts. These were disgusting, and the accompanying repulsive 'squishy' sounds they make as they fought almost turned my stomach. Otherwise! Excellent. Well worth a viewing! A+++"
