Matches three of the four characters for Mr. Vampire 4.

Is this a Chinese alias for one of the Vampire movies?

It matches only 2 characters.

The title is 殭屍捉妖 but I did not find almost nothing about this.
Lam and Ricky Lau appear in the poster credits (and I think producer Gam Cheung Leung too), but not Sally Yeh

Vampire Strikes Back

Lam Ching Ying lampoons his Eternal Sifu character in this Hong Kong vampire-busting parody co-starring bombshell Amy Yip. A Taoist priest wanders into a cave and accidentally frees an evil king vampire and a vampire family that have been imprisoned there for 700 years. With lots of flying, fighting, magic, monsters, and mayhem as good guys and bad guys freely switch sides. With Sally Yeh. Cantonese with English subtitles.

Facets also claims Jeff Lau directed it (for what it's worth), not Ricky Lau.

Not sure even if Lam was in the movie. I found this:

Seven hundred years pass and a Taoist priest (a Lam Ching-Ying lookalike I believe) and his tamed vampires (he tames them to play mahjong with him) wanders into the cave and accidentally frees the Evil King and the vampire family. From that point on there is practically nothing but fighting, flying, magic, monsters and lots of other stuff. People join in the fight on the good side and on the bad side. The vampire family is actually good with the little kid spending most of the film yelling out “Mommy, daddy help me”. When some of the bad guys are killed they turn into bats or tarantulas. Strange, but kind of fun.

Now in the HK Database it has Sally Yeh and Amy Yip starring in this film, but if they were their disguises were amazing and how you could disguise the Yipster I can’t imagine !
