weird ghosty ones and stuff
It's just a police action drama, but it's really, really, good, and very violent in places.
The fella who plays the cop is the same guy who plays the serial killer in Bun Man, you could add that to the list as well. That film almost gives Japan's Extreme Asia DVD's a run for it's money. There's a scene where he kills a woman by ramming a fistful of chopsticks up her minge.
But the truly horrible scene is the flashback to how he acquired the restaurant he runs, where he kills the owner, his wife, and all his kids in graphic detail. I think this was a one of those "Based on real life events" type affairs as well, which makes it all the more f**ked up.

aswell as early chans like rumble in hong kong, police story etc
Jonathan Ross started it for me when he showed some of these movies in the early 90s. I like the comedy horrors..'Mr Vampire' series is side splitting funny. The people falling in love with beautiful ghosts genre is also super. Zu Warriors..yeah..amazing movie. That's the first one with the wire flying I think.
Would The Legend of the 7 golden vampires qualify? That was a co-production between The Shaw Brothers and Hammer in 1974 but was filmed in Hong Kong, it's a mix between martial arts and horror and is pretty good, if a little cheesy, the guy playing Dracula is hilariously bad.
Caveat, I see you have expensive tastes
;)
Oh sorry you said mines, what do you find in them, gold ?
Peacocks have a nasty habit of staking claim to anything that could yeald riches.
