Chinese exorcist One-Eyebrow Priest (Lam Ching-ying) leads a peaceful life with two disciples Ah Ho (Chin Siu-ho) and Ah Fong (David Lui) in a small town together with a mischievous miniature jiangshi. While finding new water sources one day, the priest encounters a European vampire in the nearby church who is aided by a dead countess. Although the priest manages to get rid of the countess, his Chinese exorcism fails on the European vampire.
The title refers to the interaction between a jiangshi child, a creature from Chinese "hopping" corpse fiction, and a British vampire based on Western vampire fiction. The latter one is quite a formidable and scary foe, and appears in the last 28 minutes. That's when the film preps up, otherwise the rest has pace issues, isn't as focused as the first four official Mr Vampire films. Even the humour is flat, however there's good imaginative scenes, especially featuring the baby vampire. Some of the action scenes such as the crossing the dodgy bridge are well done.
