Chu isn't a happy man. His wife is a slovenly uncaring bitch who eats and reads during sex, and his boss Wang is a complete git who plays nasty tricks on him. And to top it all, Chu has a small penis too!!
When Wang catches one of his daughters trying to seduce Chu, he blames the poor guy rather than his own daughter. For punishment, Chu is sent on a quest to a haunted temple to steal a magic statue of Judge Lu. At the temple, Chu is attacked by a sexy ghost, who shags him but also tries to kill him; however, he is saved by the magic statue, which comes to life and scares away the evil ghost.
The statue of Judge Lu takes pity on Chu and decides to try and help improve his life. He endows him with the power of wisdom, makes his wife more bearable, and gives him a massive magic talking cock to boot! However, even with his new found brains and whopping trouser-snake, Chu finds life more difficult than he imagined
This bonkers slice of HK stupidity is fun at first, but soon becomes a tedious affair when the same jokes involving Chu's chatty penis are repeated time and time again. During the frequent sex scenes we witness the schlong (played by Ronald Wong) bouncing enthusiastically up and down inside the 'vagina' and spouting jism at the point of orgasm (to achieve this effect, the Mr.Wong spits out a mouthful of milk). The penis is also able to detach itself from Chu and has the ability to fly!
With its wacky plot, constant saucy shenanigans, a bevy of gorgeous women shedding their clothes at every available opportunity, and plenty of softcore sex, 'Chinese Erotic Ghost Story' should have been unmissable; however, even rabid fans of weird HK cinema will probably find this one only worthy of a single viewing out of curiosity's sake.

This is essentially the joke of the farmers daughter stretched to 90 minutes. For my taste thats 89 minutes too long.
Think of it as a good looking sex comedy that isn't really funny or sexy. Clearly its suppose to be and many of the cast mug shamelessly, in the hopes of getting a laugh or disrobe in the hopes of getting a rise out of the audience unfortunately its all for naught, little of this film actually works, or works in such away that is interesting to watch. Honestly I picked this up thinking this was "An Erotic Ghost Story" which I had heard is pretty good. Clearly I'll have to make sure I get the right name next time.
Pass this one up, its just a waste of time.

Chu is a lowly debt collector for the local strongman Wang. Problem is that Chu is too nice/honest/dopey to be very good at the grubby collections job. Chu is treated badly by his boss Wang. Eventually Wang catches one of his twin daughters in the act of seducing the hapless bumpkin Chu. Wang naturally blames Chu rather than the daughter. For punishment Wang sends Chu on an impossible quest to Satan's Temple to steal a statue of Judge Lu.
At Satan's temple, Judge Lu - the statue - comes to life. The Judge is impressed by Chu's good nature and decides to make some changes to help Chu. Judge Lu gives Chu's wife a good heart. He gives Chu more brains, and most importantly endows Chu with a gigantic "Magic Dick".
At this point things get a bit weird.
Chu with his new brains and his Magic Dick get into some the wildest adventures I have ever seen.
Chinese Erotic Ghost Story is like a Mad TV skit version of a "farmers daughter" dirty joke. Slapstick shtick, hammy mugging, fake sex, and some of the goofiest most tasteless scenes I have ever seen. Has the mentality of a Chinese version of American Pie.
My biggest problem with this film is that is reuses the same joke over and over again. It gets a little old by the end of the film. Also the English subtitles on the DVD are dreadful - nothing you can really do about that though.
On the upside though...Chinese Erotic Ghost Story is much weirder/wilder than Sex and Zen. Hilariously funny in a few scenes. Also there is enough nudity in this film to make your head explode. Despite the bad subtitles, wooden acting, largely absent plot...the film somehow manages to keep you interested right up to the end. It is not that you really care what is going to happen to the characters. It is more that you sit transfixed hoping that the makers of the film have one more wacko scene to unleash on you.
Not Oscar material, but well worth watching, if just for the W.T.F___?!?!?! factor.
