Mr. Vampire II (Chinese: 殭屍家族; lit. 'Vampire Family'; also known as Mr. Vampire Part 2) is a 1986 Hong Kong comedy horror film directed by Ricky Lau, starring Yuen Biao, Moon Lee and Lam Ching-ying, and produced by Sammo Hung. It is the second film in the Mr. Vampire franchise, and the sequel to Mr. Vampire. Mr. Vampire and its sequels were released as part of the jiangshi cinematic boom in Hong Kong during the 1980s.
In the film, an archaeologist discovers a trio of immobilized jiangshi, and hopes to profit from his discovery. All three jiangshi are soon revived. A failed attempt to kill the two adult jiangshi results in their escape.
