Marry My Dead Body
New York Asian Film Festival 2023
July 14 - 30, 2023
A bit of folk magic lands a wannabe supercop betrothed to the ghost of a gay man who forces him to make a much needed attitude adjustment while also helping him solve a major drug case. This is full-throttle fun and high-voltage action all the way—and a much-needed sendup of homophobia.
Wannabe supercop Min-han’s heroism nearly ruins an arrest, landing him on garbage duty in the park. When he picks up a discarded red envelope it turns out to be folk magic that betroths him to the ghost… of a gay man! Soon his paranormal paramour forces him to make a much needed attitude adjustment while also helping him solve a major drug case. Since only Min-han can see his ethereal hubby, the proceedings get hilariously complicated. Marry My Dead Body is full-throttle fun all the way, from high-voltage action to non-stop jocularity with pathos to spare, not to mention a wonderfully ribald and much-needed sendup of homophobia. The three leads, Austin Lin (iWeirDo, NYAFF 2020) as the ghost, Greg Hsu as Min-han, and Gingle Wang as his outspoken partner, all show off their magnificent chops with perfect comic timing and many awe-inspiring physical set-pieces that will have everyone laughing in the aisles.
