The buses all have TV's in them. I can't remember what the one from Zhengzhou was playing. The one we took today to Longmen Grottoe actually had english subtitles, but they were impossible to read from the back of the bus.
The bus ride back to Dengfeng (more will be said about that in a later post where there will be venting) started off with some soap but then the driver decided we needed a horror movie instead. Then the title popped up in English. It was "Encounter with Spooky Situation 2" At least that's what I remember It looked like it had Sammo Hung in it. It started off with a couple getting chased through town by villagers bearing torches. The couple hides in a haunted house which diverts the villagers. They decide to sleep there. Naturally, the hopping vampires wake from their coffins. And I knew they were Chinese vampires because of the hopping.
The eventually all ended up on a chandelier. The female vampire chomping on Sammo's neck. Sammo was chomping on the male vampires neck. The male vampire was eating on the female lead. The chandelier chain broke and they all crashed to the ground. This caused Sammo to wake from his nightmare.
That was about the first two minutes. It only got screwier from their. It had something to do with Sammo's affection for a waitress being thwarted by the villain. The villain had a sorcerer helping him. Sammo had a daoist priest on his side. The battle kept escalating. A female ghost who was protecting her blind mother appeared. There was big martial arts battle with magic fireballs being thrown around. At one point Sammo's spirit was put into a pig. So, the female ghost had to use Sammo's body to battle the sorcerer. But the sorcerer used leaches to block the ghost from using Sammo's body. There were exploding mummies. Zombies were animated using cockroaches. Nutty doesn't start to describe it. And I couldn't understand a word of dialogue.
But in the end, there were no sword fights.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
