Hex After Hex: A movie with Darth Vader

Hex After Hex

Ok, I have to talk about this movie I saw over the Chinese New Year weekend. It's a Chinese film called Hex After Hex, made in 1982. The movie is about a ghost that possesses the body of a dead girl so she can have a muscley, living boyfriend.

The first three minutes or so of the movie is that guy's painted face, pretty much just making random noises and looking around while the credits show up.

There is a random animated bit of the ghost girl for no reason too! So stuff happens, the building they live in is going to get torn down, so the ghost girl uses her undead powers to pretend to be Yoda, and then Darth Vader from Star Wars to scare away the construction crew.

But the best part is that when "Darth Vader" hits them with his lightsabre, their clothes disappear! So the construction crew runs out of the building naked, and the police chase them. AMAZING! Other stuff happens too, and the finale of the movie is a three way spirit possession fight and then a statue of who I think was supposed to be Thomas Jefferson comes alive and then turns into a slot machine that hits the jackpot and starts spitting out gold at the boyfriend so he can buy back his apartment buildings and become a real estate developer. THE END!

Yeah, it's pretty amazing, I know! Also, the production company, Shaw Brothers, has a pretty fantastic logo.

Anyways, So I guess the morale of the story is, when you go to buy foreign movies, the best thing to do is just look at covers and pick out what looks good, because MAN this one was a gem!
