Comedy
Intrepid inventor Royal Dog (Louis Koo) is part of the elite imperial bodyguard team tasked with protecting the inept Emperor (Liu Yiwei) and Empress (Sandra Ng). Unlike his brother Royal Tiger (Tong Dawei), however, Royal Dog can't fight if his life depended on it. What he lacks in kung-fu prowess though, he makes up for with wacky (untested) weaponry concocted in his workshop. When the Emperor decides to hold a competition to choose a suitor for Princess Rainbow (Song Jia), Royal Dog becomes an unexpected top contender, much to the displeasure of his sassy girlfriend Faithful (Barbie Hsu). There's nary time for romance though when there are so many people out to kill him and the Emperor, including a cross-dressing female assassin (Liu Yang), head eunuch Lord Unicorn (Fan Siu Wong), and even the Empress herself!

Humanity and Paper Balloons / Ninjô kami fûsen (1937)
Drama
Humanity and Paper Balloons, unlike most other Japanese films of this period, is a historical film with a critical edge. Refusing to glorify samurai, the film instead deflates the myth around them with a gentle humanity. The film opens directly after a penurious ronin samurai has taken his own life. At his funeral his neighbors from his slum mourn his death. Here the film introduces another ronin samurai who lives in equal poverty. Having pawned his sword for food, the samurai searches for work but to no avail. The family's only income comes from the little balloon children's toys made by the wife. Out of desperation, the samurai abets in an attempted kidnapping. After finding out, the wife kills him in his sleep and then takes her own life, closing the film's narrative circle.
