Encounters of the Spooky Kind 鬼打鬼 is a 1980 Hong Kong martial arts comedy horror film directed by and starring Sammo Hung. Released as Spooky Encounters in the United States and also known as Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind. Encounters of the Spooky Kind was the progenitor of the jiangshi film genre (hopping Chinese vampires) and one of Hong Kong's first action horror comedies.
It would go on to birth the popular film series, Mr. Vampire, as well as inspire countless other film franchises, pop culture, and even anime. The film's influences can especially be seen in the manga works and character designs of Akira Toriyama (ie; Chiaotzu, Pilaf, Tao Pai Pai, etc).
I highly recommend checking out the first 3 Mr. Vampire films as well!! My favorite of those would probably be Mr. Vampire 2 - it's the only one set in modern day 1980's Hong Kong. Super sick.
