Trailer
IMDB
The sister of a vampire hunter falls in love with a gentle vampire. The vampire hunter gets a new partner, an attractive female one, at that. To fight the vampires they have to take a drink of concentrated vampire blood and then an antidote within a certain period of time. Things go awry and Jackie Chan shows up to get married to a drunk woman (I don't know why).
This is an okay movie. It has really great fight scenes, cheesey special effects, an okay story, but they dwell too much on said story and not enough on the special effects laden fights. There are several fights, but they really stick to the romance. I was looking for Machine Girl and I got Sleepless in Seattle (with vampires and kung fu).
Obviously, if you like romance, vampires and kung fu you pretty much have to see this movie. It's enjoyable, but just don't look for a bit of the ol' ultra violence. It's not here. No real gore, but the fights are pretty badass.
6.5/10
