The franchise is still on a sliding slope...

A year later after the 1997 "Yam Yeung Lo" and "Yam Yeung Lo 2", the world was given "Yam Yeung Lo 3: Sing Goon Fat Choi" (aka "Troublesome Night 3") from writer Kwok Chi Tsang and director Herman Yau.

Truth be told, then I wasn't really expecting a whole lot from this third movie in the franchise, given a less than mediocre first movie and an even weaker sequel. But I opted to sit down here in 2022 and watch "Yam Yeung Lo 3: Sing Goon Fat Choi".

And I can't claim that I was overly impressed, much less particularly entertained. The storyline in "Yam Yeung Lo 3: Sing Goon Fat Choi" felt somewhat pointless and it never really found much of any ground with me, so I wasn't particularly enjoying what was going on here.

Sure, it was nice to see the original cast return to the franchise again, but at the same time it sort of was getting a bit annoying as well to see them turn up for portraying other characters. That sort of killed the continuity here.

The cast ensemble in "Yam Yeung Lo 3: Sing Goon Fat Choi" certainly is good, with the likes of Louis Koo, Simon Lui, Kar Lok Chin, Michael Tse, Lan Law and Fui-On Shing, among others.

I believe you have to be a native to Hong Kong to properly enjoy a movie such as "Yam Yeung Lo 3: Sing Goon Fat Choi". I wasn't particularly bedazzled by it, however.

My rating of "Yam Yeung Lo 3: Sing Goon Fat Choi" lands on a three out of ten stars.

I am a ghost

I have OCD really bad, I think. I mean, why else would you write about forty horror anthology films in one week? Here's where it really kicks in: there are twenty Troublesome Night movies and I will never rest until I see every one of them. I will be a ghost, like in these films, forever blundering around the world until I see the final films in the series. And then, they will reboot it.

In the third Troublesome Night, a mortuary connects the stories. In the first, a mortician (Allen Ting, who was in the first two movies in this series) is ruined by the death of his favorite singer, so he takes her place in the coffin when her face is too damaged to allow for an open casket. Then he disappears because Hong Kong horror is weird.

The second tale revolves around a mother (Law Lan, who started acting in 1939 and is still performing) who has killed herself and the mortuary workers who keep getting more money out of her daughter (Christine Ng, Crime Story) for her funeral. Of course, they must pay the price.

Finally, the last story gets as dark as I've seen this series go, as a mortician commits suicide when her boyfriend leaves her because her job upsets him. Her ghost haunts him right into death.

Now my ectoplasmic form must depart to seek out Troublesome Night 4.

Not as troublesome as the second movie.

This is the third film in Hong Kong's Troublesome Night movie series, a collection of films whose stories are based on the supernatural and features creepy ghosts. The third Troublesome Night movie is a little step-up from the second movie in my opinion, as I thought it was a little more entertaining.

The first story is about mortician Shishedo (Allen Ting),who is grief-stricken when his favorite singer was killed in a car accident. As a result, he vows to help her get the most "appropriate" burial. This one has the least scare factor of the three and I thought Ting gave a rather whiny performance.

In the second story, Gigi (Christine Ng) wants a memorial service for her departed mother (Lan Law) and gets coaxed into buying all sorts of expensive materials from the funeral workers. Afterward, the ghost of Gigi's mother returns to haunt the workers to teach them a lesson. This was the most scariest story, I think, as the dark atmosphere of Gigi's mother vacant apartment and the creepiest of Lan Law's portrayal really gave some hair-raising entertainment.

In the third story, Hung (Fennie Yuen) was dating boyfriend Daviv (Michael Tse) and later he dumped her because the thought of her working at the mortuary didn't sit well with him. When Hung does the unthinkable to escape the pain, Daviv finds himself facing retribution. A bad karma story - nicely done with dramatic and good acting.

Overall, this film is pretty fast-paced from start to finish and features some OK acting (some actors were annoying) and good special effects. The plots themselves were less intriguing than the original movie but it's still better the then second film.
