It is widely recognised however that as Tsui was always on set he had in fact directed a number of sequences himself making this more of a collaboration between the two maestro’s. In 1987 he would film a remake entitled ‘A Chinese Ghost Story’ handing the directorial reigns to Ching Siu-Tung who had previously directed the landmark ‘Duel to Death’. The name of this film was ‘The Enchanting Shadow’ made in 1960, which was adapted from a story by Pu Sung Ling (who also wrote the original story to King Hu’s ‘A Touch of Zen’). Tsui Hark remembered a film from his childhood that used to scare him.
