Reviewed by: Inner Strength Date: 05/31/2002 Summary: Awful George Lam a vampire? Woah, that’s a mistake for a start. Why this was mostly filmed here in England I have no idea, since when did vampires live in England?! Rosamund Kwan plays a women who is hunted by George Lam, who actually loves her in this ridiculous vampire comedy. What else can I say? That's about it. For Stephen Shin it’s very disapoiting indeed, perhaps he took the credit for Wong Jing who is someone more likely to come out with trash like this! Avoid this one. Reviewer Score: 1

Reviewed by: j.crawford Date: 12/09/1999 I love a good vampire story. "A Bite of Love" is such a story. This Hong Kong film combines European vampire lore with only a few elements of the Eastern folklore prevalent in the "hopping vampire" films of recent years. Played mostly for laughs, this is a modern-day story about the very elegant and refined Duke Lee who finds attacking human victims distasteful. He must rely on his manservant to supply him with sustenance from alternative sources, which is difficult considering the Duke's financial troubles. George Lam Chi-Cheung gives a wonderful performance in the role of the aging bloodsucker. He gives the character grace and dignity as well as viciousness and cunning, quite a charming fellow. My favorite Hong Kong actress, Rosamund Kwan Chi-Lam, co-stars in "A Bite of Love". She stars here as the sister of a dying Triad boss who discovers the healing properties of the vampire's blood. A transfusion will make him well, but there is a catch. The Boss turns into a vampire as well. Kwan Chi-Lam's character was born at a special moment which makes her blood the most potent of all to the king of the vampires. This, of course, is the major plot device in the final sequence of the film. Her star quality shines through here. Produced and directed by Stephen Shin, the vampire tale moves along with many funny bits of business thrown in. One funny bit involves a young Chinese boy in distress who is ripped off by a twenty-something Englishman. Another very funny bit involves the Duke and his servant choosing wardrobe for an evening out, trying on various wigs and capes. There is one sequence involving Ms. Kwan and a "Van Helsing" type character as they try to determine if she has been infected by the vampires bite. Even the dreaded HIV is mentioned when the Duke has a bad reaction to some blood. Not all tongue in cheek, Director Shin serves up some genuinely scary moments. Drawing from the Hammer horror films of the early 70's, Shin recreates the spooky atmosphere that pervades those great films. When the triad boss becomes a powerful vampire, his final battle with the Duke for ultimate evil power is really frightening. [En español] Me encanta una buena historia vampiro. "Una mordida de Amor" es una historia. Esta película de Hong Kong Europea vampiro combina tradición con sólo algunos elementos del folclore oriental prevalecen en el "salto de vampiro" películas de los últimos años. Jugado principalmente para risas, esta es una forma moderna de la historia de la muy elegante y refinado Duke Lee considera que atacar a víctimas humanas mal. Él debe confiar en su siervo que le con fuentes alternativas de sustento, que es difícil considerar el Duke's problemas financieros. George Lam Chi - Cheung da una maravillosa actuación en el papel de la sanguijuela envejecimiento. Él le da el carácter de gracia y dignidad, así como maldad y astucia, un colega encantador. Mi favorito de la actriz de Hong Kong, Rosamund Kwan Chi Lam, compañeros de estrellas en "Una mordida de Amor". Ella estrellas aquí como la hermana de un jefe que mueren Triad descubre las propiedades curativas de la sangre del vampiro. Una transfusión hará lo mejor, pero hay una captura. El Boss convierte en un vampiro también. Kwan Chi Lam's carácter nació en un momento especial lo que hace que su sangre el más potente de todos los que el rey de los vampiros. Esto, por supuesto, es el principal argumento en el dispositivo final de la secuencia de la película. Su estrella brilla a través de la calidad. Producido y dirigido por Stephen Shin, el vampiro cuento se mueve junto con muchas divertidas bits de negocios arrojados pulgadas Una divertida bits implica un joven muchacho chino en peligro, que es sacado por un vigésimo algo inglés. Otra muy divertida bits implica el Duque y la elección de su siervo armario para una noche, tratando sobre diversas pelucas y cabos. Hay una secuencia de la participación de Sra Kwan y una "Van Helsing" tipo de caracteres cuando tratan de determinar si ha sido infectado por la mordida vampiros. Incluso el temido VIH se menciona cuando el Duque tiene una mala reacción a un poco de sangre. No todos en lengua mejilla, Director Shin sirve hasta algunos momentos realmente miedo. Dibujo de la Hammer películas de horror de los primeros 70's, Shin spooky recrea la atmósfera que impregna esos grandes películas. Cuando el trío se convierte en un poderoso jefe vampiro, su batalla final con el Duque de poder de los males es realmente aterradora. Copyright ©1995 J. Crawford Reviewer Score: 8

Reviewed by: spinali Date: 12/08/1999 Summary: NULL Supernatural yarn about Duke Lee (George Lam), a vampire who'sgiven up blood-sucking mortals for raiding blood banks. When a sick triad boss (Man Tsui) gets a transfusion of vampire blood, he gets well, and eventually ends up becoming one himself -- the one good thing about the movie. Man Tsui's daughter Rosamund Kwan serves as the love interest -- for both men. Major suckage. (1/4) [Reviewed by Steve Spinali] Reviewer Score: 2
