What happens

Vampire Buster, released in the United Kingdom as Ninja Vampire Busters, is a 1989 Hong Kong action comedy horror film directed by Stanley Siu and Norman Law and starring Jacky Cheung, Kent Cheng, Stanley Fung and Natalis Chan. Despite the title, the film does not feature any vampires but instead deals with a thousand-year old demon ghost. In the film, a demon spirit is contained within a valuable vase, dating to the Ming dynasty. After the vase is acquired by a wealthy family in Hong Kong, the demon escapes and possesses the body of the family's father. An exorcist follows the vase to Hong Kong, but the escaped demon is prepared to fight him. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
