The action is well beyond what is seen in The Spiritual Boxer, and the two films combine to make an interesting document of Lau Kar-Leung’s progression and evolution as a choreographer in the four years between them. The Spiritual Boxer is the better overall movie, but Part II is more enjoyable and I’m much more inclined to re-watch it.
Jiangshi legends have inspired a genre of jiangshi films and literature in Hong Kong and the rest of East Asia. Movies such as Mr. Vampire and its various spin-offs Mr. Vampire II, Mr. Vampire III, and Mr. Vampire IV became cult classics in comedy-horror and inspired a vampire craze in East Asia, including Taiwan and Japan.

Jiangshi fiction, or goeng-si fiction in Cantonese, is a literary and cinematic genre of horror based on the jiangshi of Chinese folklore, a reanimated corpse controlled by Taoist priests that resembles the zombies and vampires of Western fiction.
The corpse and the two end up separated during the chaos, and they land in Africa. The corpse lands in front of Xixo , where he and his tribe are being confronted by a rival clan led by two greedy Caucasians. The corpse's presence scares away the villains. Xixo somehow learns to control the corpse using a bell and he takes it to his tribe.
However, the twin ghosts appear and eagerly possess Tung's corpse. Revived, the powerful ghost-infused jiangshi easily impales Chin through the stomach with a pole and leaves him for dead. Chin, terribly injured is found by Yau as he prepares to battle the jiangshi. Yau uses a spell to stop Chin's bleeding.

One year the ritual is botched, causing one adult jiangshi and one child jiangshi to rise from the grave. A traveling Taoist named Ku-Su warns the villagers and even attempts to fight the child jiangshi, but local orphans from Yuen Cheung-Yan's Peking Opera see this and take the child jiangshi into their protection, mistaking Ku-Su for a villain.
Cheung is tricked into spending the night in a temple, but he encounters Tsui who tells him that he must sleep on the roof. Cheung does so. A coffin in the temple opens, and a jiangshi, a hopping corpse, begins looking for him, but he is safe. Chin gives up when he cannot find Cheung (he is controlling the jiangshi), just as Cheung falls down.
