| User ReviewDavid GI've seen this many times, and the more older I get the more I appreciate it. It seems like fluff, but there are great story elements in there. Plus the music is spectacular. |
| User ReviewTerence GThis is great - Joey Wang is absolute HOTNESS. I love the movie, love Tony Leung, Jackie Cheung, the characters and costumes. This film is gorgeous and really is one of the best films from the past. |
| User ReviewDarryl CNonsensical but somewhat romantic in a whimsical sorta way. The third of this trilogy is helped by Tony Leung's comedic timing and Joey's aching portrayal of a trapped spirit. Love the effects, love the incredulity of it all! |
| User ReviewClare COne of the most hilarious movies I've ever seen! Tears streamed down my face. |
| User ReviewAlan Lbasically a bloated redo of the first ACGS film, but for some reason its over-the-top silliness and excess almost makes me love it more. |
| User ReviewAnthony VJoey Wang is back as yet another entirely different character, but this time she haunts Tony Leung instead, who I actually like better than Leslie Cheung (may he rest in peace). |
| User ReviewPaul FNot as good as the firts two installments but it continues the story one hundred years later and is still funny as hell. |
| User ReviewMatthew BReally love the way how Tony Leung interprete a cheeky monk's role. The friendship between the ghost and the cheeky monk developed nicely. Love it! |
| User ReviewMike Tits funny,similar to the first with better fights, nice looking sets. |
