Mr. Vampire
"Mr. Vampire" sequels included "Mr. Vampire II", "Mr. Vampire III" and "Mr. Vampire IV". However, most do not relate to the first film, instead simply being set on the same themes. There is in fact only one canonical sequel, Ricky Lau's own "Mr. Vampire 1992". Confusion regarding the sequels has been compounded not only by the names of the films but also by the fact that the films share some cast members, though often recast in different roles. There are also other films of the Chinese vampire genre starring Lam Ching-ying, such as "Encounters of the Spooky Kind II" (1990) and "Magic Cop" (1990), or directed by Lam himself, such as "Vampire vs Vampire" (1989), which are all separate from the "Mr. Vampire" franchise. In addition, Lam uses his real name for his character in some of the films he acted in.
