Spiritual Kung-Fu is a 1978 Jackie Chan film. It was also known in some releases as Karate Ghostbuster.

Jackie Chan stars in Spiritual Kung Fu as a smart-alecky martial arts student whose bravery leads to him signing up to defend a supposedly haunted portion of the school. The ghosts end up teaching him a unique style of fighting known as The Five Style Fists. He masters the form, uses it to progress quickly through the ranks of the school, and eventually to survive an attack from a gang of bad guys.

Spiritual Kung-Fu was Lo Wei's response to Chan's attempt at a comedy/kung-fu cross over with Half a Loaf of Kung Fu, the only comedy critics say is present in this film, however, is in the special effects, which are bad even for their time.

Today the film is regarded as a cult classic for its comical dubbing and plot.
