Troublesome Night 3 (Chinese: 陰陽路之升棺發財; lit. 'Yin Yang Road: Raising the Coffin to Make a Fortune') is a 1998 Hong Kong comedy horror film produced by Nam Yin and directed by Herman Yau. It is the third of the 20 films in the Troublesome Night film series.

Plot

[edit]

The film consists of three loosely connected segments based on the theme of a mortuary.

Shishedo, a mortician, is grief-stricken when his favourite singer, Lam Wing-si, is killed in an accident. Lam's face was badly marred so Shishedo takes her place in the coffin by disguising himself as the deceased singer. He disappears and leaves his colleagues to deal with the ghostly aftermath.

In the next segment, Gigi wants a memorial service for her mother, who had hanged herself. The ghost of Gigi's mother is displeased when the greedy morticians try to trick her daughter into using their services, so she haunts them.

The last segment involves Hung, a mortician, who commits suicide after her boyfriend dumps her because of her job. Her boyfriend faces retribution when her ghost returns to haunt him and he dies after being stabbed by muggers.
