I watched this not long after watching The Millionaires' Express, and I think both have made me appreciate Sammo Hung's willingness to blend martial arts action with unexpected other genres. In the case of the former, it was a martial arts/comedy/Western movie, and in the case of Encounter of the Spooky Kind (which is a fantastic title), it's a martial arts/horror/comedy/fantasy movie.
I can't say I always knew what was going on, and it definitely felt like it was a bit all over the place. But on the other hand, the randomness of it all also added to its charm, and it can't be overstated just how good some of the action and stuntwork are.
Very strange ending, though, and not in a good way.
