Chi lin watch backwards basically tells you about the dead coming alive, and the people saving each soul (zombies) back to normal humans (or some sort like a human).
The writer Lan Ting wrote about this story called Chi Lin, its about her journey on saving souls, one include her father whom she need to reverse a crash car to do the trick.
In the tomb, Hua walks about, putting derbies and rocks back to their original place, hence make a cave. Pork Rib begins to put gold bricks back to the pond and later claim there is no gold there. Ciao Fei begins to release souls from a gold casket using Lan Ting as a medium,
Pork Rib: What the ----, you want me to lay gold bricks under the pool?!
After beating the shit out of those souls, 4 of them then revive 2 zombies and turn them to Rib's followers, Fei begins to do a dance to place all the traps and they lock the tomb with a safety switch. To improve the security of the tomb, they summon a sand storm, which everytime creates some moonwalk sandstorm legion like of things.
Lan Ting: I'm gonna beat the shit of the zombie hence tuning them to humans. :)
The sandstorm caught the attention of the Eagle of the Dessert, Hawk. He stab his lover and fight with her and later with Fei. Hawk then left and they parted each ways.
Hawk: Hold there bro, I think the blade kinda old. I'll be leaving I guess.
The 6 travel back to an treasure hunter encampment at different pace and confiscate all the treasure map of that place. Fei who acts like the hero begins to boss around and fought the leader of the encampment, in which he turns her in to a wearing a mask as she lost, making everyone at the encampment angry and sad. Leaving the town after that Ribs followers suddenly disappear.
The 4 whom travel at a different pace now are getting closer to each other. Fei and Ting now being puke liquor back to a JW bottle and giving it to Ribs. The next day Fei ride backwards on his bike with Lan, creating sandstorm legion one at a time with his gun. Same goes with Ribs which transmute more legions by transmuting dynamite with a cigar in the mouth on Hua's jeep. They now ride in to a rumble to transmute it back to an inn.
Lan Ting: So what say I revive some legions and you drive.
Ciao Fei: Baby, I think guns are dangerous; why don't you go back and hold your pen.
Ribs 2 followers appear again now (maybe they have tunnel to the building). They sees that the legions have become too troublesome and they reverse the sandstorm legion spell, sucking all the legions back to the sandstorm. In making sure that all the legions are back to the storm, Fei now use his whip to mummified a man and wrap him in a suit.
Fei pass Ting to Ribs in exchange for a map, not knowing that the others are going back to civilization. Fei who now has the map went off for some secret mission (which are link to Ting's father death).
Ting now back in to the civilization on her Z4 begins to reverse her car out from a crash (which created by Ribs) hence revived her father back who is taking the cake from the dinning table (I think she resurrect him to a very hungry person). She then park the car (now unscratched) and continue to write a book and suddenly Fei's appears with a book at hand whom then leave the scene (for some secret misson again).
The scene now change to Hua and Ribs, whom are discussing (most likely about how ungrateful Ting is). Ribs then went to meet Ting, she rub of her signature with her pen and then cast Ribs out in to the rain. Ribs then left (I think he contacted Ting's father, and made him very unhappy towards Ting).
Pork Rib: I'm gonna tell your papa how mean you are.
Lan Ting: Yea yea, get lost loser.
Ting's father now summon Fei in to his office, giving him another mission, which in the end leaves Ting being haunted by her editor in writing more adventure-treasure hunting stories.Focus are given in to the last mission of Fei.
The last mission. Fei gathers some amour begins to resurrect one (sandstorm) legion out of thin air with few bullets and disassemble the gun afterwards. (Did I mention about the horse as well). He then cast the legion in to the sand and ring a bell as accomplishment. The ring of the bell brought curiosity of 3 men, which they came in and fought with Fei. Fei then assemble the gun back in to one piece for the other guys (I think they got a deal after the fight. He check the goods and walk upstairs.
I'm cool bro, just take the goods and leave me alone.
The 3 men then left with the goods and pass the tale on of the Eagle of the Dessert.
I should have watched Bodyguard or Avatar instead.
