Devil's Dynamite (1987)

aka Devil Dynamite

No devils and no dynamite, but what else would you expect from a Thomas Tang film?  He and Godfrey Ho (who are rumored to be the same person) are the masters of taking unfinished films, shooting new scenes, and splicing them all together into one gigantic mess.

We never did figure out exactly what was going on since things changed all the time. Characters would appear, then disappear, and were never referenced again.

As best as I can tell, a Taoist Priest brings to life a squad of vampires who are put to work for a crime boss.  Then Samuel Cox is released from prison and vows revenge.  There are ninjas who end up getting bitten by the vampires (guess they're pretty lousy ninjas then), and a space suited man resembling the Prince of Space who fights the vampires and vampire ninjas.  And none of it makes sense.

I'm a fan of these type of movies.  They are often boring, but always ridiculous.  Needless to say, if only they were edited down to the ridiculous parts, they'd be fantastic.
