Splendid Float is Zero Chou's first film. It depicts the life of a group of Taiwanese transvestites in a travelling cabaret show. Roy (James Chen) dances and sings in drag in the show at night, while spending his day as a Taoist priest conducting funeral rites.
Zero Chou's debut feature-length film, Splendid Float, won the best Taiwan film prize at the Golden Horse Awards in 2004. The film represents the gay dilemma in Taiwan via the absurd, and explores the possibility of reconciling the traditional and queer communities.
