Synopsis by Mark Deming

A nearly-invincible martial arts expert faces an unusual adversary when he must take on the living dead in this bizarre action comedy. Kung Fu warrior Pang (Billy Chong) finds himself in deep danger when an assassin comes to town; it seems Pang had wronged the killer in the past, and he is intent upon revenge. Rather than rely on his own fighting skills, the assassin hires a wizard to raise warriors from the dead to take down Pang, but the killer becomes the victim of his own plot. The furious villain's spirit comes back to haunt the wizard, demanding a new body so he can kill Pang once and for all; meanwhile, supernatural martial arts warriors have taken possession of Pang's father, forcing the Kung Fu star to do battle with his own dad. Kung Fu Zombie was shorn of twenty minutes of footage for its dubbed release in the United States.
