“Right, well this 1985 Hong Kong comedy titled u0026quot;Happy Ghost IIu0026quot; (aka u0026quot;Kai xin gui: Fang shu jiau0026quot;) is in fact an archetypical Hong Kong comedy from the mid-1980s. So if you enjoyed movies from back then, then you most certainly will also enjoy this particular movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline told in u0026quot;Happy Ghost IIu0026quot; is pretty straight forward. It is more of a feel-good story than it is an outright comedy, because the laughs – while they are there – are far in between. But that was not an issue, because the storyline and plot was nicely written by writers Clifton Ko, Bing-cheung Mak and Raymond Pak-Ming Wong, and brought to the screen by director Clifton Ko.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere is a good pacing to the storyline told in the movie, which definitely improved on the overall enjoyment of the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNow, I am not familiar with the first movie. I believe I have watched it way back, but I canu0026#39;t recall it, nor have I written a review for it. So just how much of a continuation of the first part this is, I have no idea. Nor can I state if the characters are continuations from the first movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile u0026quot;Happy Ghost IIu0026quot; is an enjoyable enough movie, it is hardly one that warrants more than a single viewing. Or if it does, it would be with years passing in between.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of the 1985 u0026quot;Happy Ghost IIu0026quot; lands on a six out of ten stars.”
