The Alien film series is a science fiction horror film franchise, focusing on Lieutenant Ellen Ripley (played by Sigourney Weaver) and her battle with an extraterrestrial lifeform, commonly referred as "the Alien". Produced by 20th Century Fox, the series started with the 1979 film Alien, which led to three movie sequels.

Director: Gordon Chan, Wong Jing
Starring: Stephen Chow Sing-Chi, Ng Man Tat, Cheung Man, Barry Wong, Roy Cheung

Shaolin Soccer and Kungfu Hustle, well received both locally and abroad, paved the way for Stephen Chow to become an international comedy star. Indeed his profile in Hong Kong grew to astounding proportions during the early nineties. In Fight Back to School and its sequel, his representative films during that period, he plays a cop disguising as a high school kid to investigate hidden crimes, and in the course generates tons of jokes to amuse his fans! In Fight Back to School III he continued his role as an undercover, but this time, disguised as a rich man.

A good many memorable quotes from Stephen Chow indeed come from Fight Back to School I & II, both directed by the awarding-winning director Gordon Chan. Hong Kong Filmmaker Wong Jing, famous for creating hilarious comedies, not only writes the script for Fight Back to School but also directs Fight Back to School III. Stephen Chow's long collaborator Richard Ng Man Tat, of course, cannot be absent from the trilogy. Chow's romance with gorgeous actress Sharla Cheung enriches all three films. Fight Back to School III also stars the late super star Anita Mui as a rich man's wife while Chow pretends to be her husband. Now is the time to enjoy the jokes created by such a glamorous cast!

In 12th century Japan, a samurai and his wife are attacked by the notorious bandit Tajomaru, and the samurai ends up dead. Tajomaru is captured shortly afterward and is put on trial, but his story and the wife's are so completely different that a psychic is brought in to allow the murdered man to give his own testimony. He tells yet another completely different story. Finally, a woodcutter who found the body reveals that he saw the whole thing, and his version is again completely different from the others.

Here is the ultimate synchronisation of details and events which signalled the last six months of the greatest conflict the world has ever known. It involved over 100 countries, it killed 50 million people and absorbed six years of struggle and bloodshed for the peoples of half the globe.

The early Pacific battles bring heroism and hardship, success and failure… long before victory.
In the aftermath of World War I, the vast Pacific Ocean became the setting for a struggle between imperialistic Japan and isolationist America. Japan, eager for resources it lacked, invaded Manchuria, and later China. The situation in the Far East set Japan on a collision course with the United States, a course that ultimately led to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Japan's success on December 7th began an unbroken tide of victory and conquest.

Mr and Mrs Shizuma, and their niece Yasuko, make their way through the ruins of Hiroshima, just after the atomic bomb has dropped. Five years later, Yasuko is living with her aunt and uncle, and her senile grandmother, in a village containing many of the bomb survivors. Yasuko does not appear to be affected by the bomb, but the Shizuma's are worried about her marriage prospects, as she could succumb to radiation sickness at any time.

Extremely powerful film by Imamura which exposes the effects of Hiroshima's bombing, but like the characters, does not dwell obsessively on the event. There is no shock value to this film. That would have been too easy. This is as subtle an expression as you will find, hence heightening the effectiveness.

The scars that have devolved on succeeding generations from the Japanese Imperial Army’s “Rape of Nanking” on the eve of World War II have gained prominence in the news of recent years. We recall how the Japanese government has only been able to go so far in recognizing a national culpability. A book of that title written by Iris Chang came into prominence three times at least – the first time upon publication in 1997, on the suicide of its author in 2004, and again at the release of an incendiary documentary inspired by her book in 2007, the year that it was at last published in a Japanese translation. Given raw feelings are on both sides 70 years after the destruction of the city, the prospect of a mainstream feature film dealing with that period is likely to be met with concern and trepidation. The wonder is that director Lu Chuan finds humanity in the suffering on both sides, and has made a film both impossible to watch and yet hypnotically seductive.
