Shaolin vs. Evil Dead (Shao Lin jiang shi) is a 2004 kung fu vampire movie starring Gordon Liu. The title of the film is a play on Liu's 1988 film Shaolin vs. Vampire as well as the American horror franchise Evil Dead, though there is no relationship to those films. The film also heavily references the style of Mr. Vampire, though it has a unique plot.
The film ends abruptly, without resolution, because of a planned sequel, which is previewed in the end credits. The funding for the sequel was approved in 2005,[2] and the second half of the film, Shaolin Vs. Dead: Ultimate Power was released the same year.[3]
