Production

This is the feature length directorial debut for Linch. An indie martial arts film, Kung Fu Ghost was produced by Nameless Studio. The film was shot with an Angenieux Lens on a Red Epic 8K camera in San Diego. After wrapping principal photography in 2019, additional scenes were scheduled to be filmed in July 2020. Larry Johnson of Stanford, Kentucky was an associate producer on the project. Release

The film was initially scheduled to release late in 2020 though it would later be announced to release in summer 2020. It was then delayed until the following Summer, before an eventual release on August 2, 2022. The film was distributed by Vision Films. Reception
Alan Ng at Film Threat scored it 6 out of 10 claiming “dialogue is the film’s greatest weakness.” Jim Morazzini of Voices From The Balcony rated it 3 out of 5 and stated it should be of interest to a younger audience. That's My Entertainment praised the film, saying "it knows exactly what it’s supposed to be and leans into it." Space Jockey Reviews says it includes an homage to Ghost, claiming that it's a "fun, ultimately uplifting movie." The Action Elite compared the film to older Jackie Chan movies and complimented the choreography. World Film Geek scored it a B+ claiming that the "choreography is actually pretty decent for an American B movie." In a mixed review, Trina Boice says that that "musical score is appropriately goofy" but the "dialogue is clunky and stiffly delivered." References
