'Burning Sensation' aka 'Huo zhu gui' (1989) - Wu Ma.

Zestily directed by the legendary, Wu Ma, this inventive, sweetly romantic, unfeasibly charming ghost comedy is a wacky Golden harvest treat! I'm a sucker for super-agile, slapstick-slathered, spook-laden shenanigans, and this exhilarating comedy about kindly fireman Chien (Kenny Bee)salvaging a haunted relic from a fire that releases benign ghost Ling (Carol Cheng) is a high-spirited treat! The energetic performances are excellent, the spooktacular/comedy kung fu set-pieces are beautifully orchestrated, and it's pretty darn funny ta' boot! While the horror elements are somewhat mild, the sultry supernatural siren, Piu-Hung (Yin San Lai) employs a singularly outlandish modus operandi to sinisterly smother her horny male victims!
