Yin ji, or Kung Fu from Beyond the Grave as it is known in the west, is absolutely bonkers. A martial arts expert is visited by his dead father who asks him tif he wouldn't mind avenging his death. He agrees and goes in search of his father's bones which he will need in order to defeat the guy who murdered him. Along the way he enlists the help of a group of Kung Fu corpses (not sure what was wrong with living ones), who either hop or levitate (but never walk) to move around. He also has to fight Dracula and a rather strange pony-tailed Wizard who likes to melt hearts, not in a cute way that a young child of fluffy bunny would though, he actually melts hearts and is rather good at it. He can't just melt any heart though, heaven forbid, only a heart that has been taken from a human just before the point of orgasm will do (obviously). It's fair to say that this film is just that little bit odd. Firmly in 'So bad it's good' territory and to be watched with friends and alcohol.
