A Chinese Ghost Story / 倩女幽魂 (1987)
In this beloved cult classic fantasy, a travelling tax collector (Leslie Cheung) short on funds opts to take shelter in a seemingly abandoned temple. He is surprised to discover a beautiful maiden (Joey Wong) there, and instantly falls for her beauty and grace. While every romance has its challenges, the tax collector gets more than he bargained for when he learns that the maiden is, in fact, a ghost forced into servitude by a demon. With the help of a brave warrior, the tax collector must brave the perils of a supernatural world in order to free his newfound love.

A Chinese Ghost Story II / 倩女幽魂II人間道 (1990)
This vibrant sequel to the 1987 original A Chinese Ghost Story finds our innocent tax collector hero (Leslie Cheung) falsely imprisoned. Upon escaping, he crosses paths with a pair of rebellious women (Joey Wong and Michelle Reis). Though mourning the loss of his ghostly love, his broken heart must heal in a hurry in order to face a new series of paranormal encounters and adventures.

A Chinese Ghost Story III / 倩女幽魂III 道道道 (1991)
The ‘A Chinese Ghost Story Trilogy’ concludes with this third instalment. In many ways a retelling of the original film’s story, ‘A Chinese Ghost Story III’ sees Joey Wong reprising her role from the 1987 classic as a stunning and supernatural spirit. A hundred years after the events of ‘A Chinese Ghost Story’, the demon who held the gorgeous ghost under its spell has reawakened to reclaim her.
