We’ll keep you posted if the film finds U.S. Eventually, he violates VCD’s command and ends up living with her, triggering an attack from the Vampire King…. Owing to his unlimited potential, Team Captain Chau (Chin Siu- Ho), Magic Maoshan-taoist Ginger (Yuen Cheung-Yan), technical support specialist M (Bondy Chiu), and weapon expert Kui (Law Mon) teach him all their knowledge and skills in order to turn him into the next Vampire Hunter!

The ordinary garbage station is their secret headquarter! The street cleaners out at night are actually vampire hunters, their giant garbage bins containing the captured vampires.

But when the ending plays like a joyous, supernatural riff on the climax of Marc Webb’s indie romance (500) Days of Summer, the film seems to double-down on its familiar wish fulfillment fantasies. (Their initial, underwater kiss, which restores a sliver of Summer’s humanity, also results in the loss of one of her fangs.) This chauvinistic narrative is slightly complicated when Summer saves Tim-during a fight scene that’s directed, like the rest of the film, with only mild competence by Yan Pak-wing and Chiu Sin-hang. By saving and keeping Summer, Tim domesticates her, and renders her harmless. But in actuality Summer scans more like a pet than a romantic interest she doesn’t speak a single line and her spacey, vampiric otherness repeatedly infantilizes her. On his first real mission, Tim meets the beautiful vampire Summer (Lin Min-chen) and, unable to properly dispose of her, he hides her in his home, inevitably later falling in love with her. An action-comedy in the jiangshi (hopping vampire) tradition, Vampire Cleanup Department concerns Tim (Babyjohn Choi), a nerdy loner who is bitten on the ass by a vampire and subsequently recruited by his rescuers, the clandestine government agency from which the film takes its title.
