A CHINESE GHOST STORY (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese & English DTS-HD Master Audio Mono / 96 min.)
In this beloved cult classic fantasy, a traveling 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 Wang) 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 (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese & English DTS-HD Master Audio Mono / 103 min.)
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 Wang 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 (1080p High-Definition Widescreen (1.85:1) / Cantonese DTS-HD Master Audio Mono / 109 min.)
The A Chinese Ghost Story Trilogy concludes with this third installment. In many ways a retelling of the original film's story, A Chinese Ghost Story III sees Joey Wang 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.

Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
