CJ7 (2008) (Blu-ray) (With Making Of) (Hong Kong Version)

Product Description

Hands down Hong Kongs most anticipated film of 2008, Stephen Chows sci-fi fantasy CJ7 swept into theaters across Asia in February & topped the box office with record numbers. Four years in the making, CJ7 is Chows first film since 2004s Kung Fu Hustle & expectations are naturally sky high. Chows last two films, Kung Fu Hustle & 2001s Shaolin Soccer, are ranked one & two on the all-time list of highest-grossing Hong Kong films, & CJ7 is quickly making its way up the rankings. In the last decade, the King of Comedy has been taking his trademark nonsense comedy, wry humor, & offbeat sentiments into new directions & genres, proving equally popular & effective behind & in front of the camera. CJ7 sees Hong Kongs favorite leading man & director entering a new stage in his inimitable career as he tackles sci-fi with this hilarious & heartwarming family-friendly fantasy feature.

Construction worker Ti (Stephen Chow) lives in a ramshackle shanty & scavenges everything from shoes to toys from the trash dump. Despite his state of abject poverty, the earnest, lesson-spouting Ti is determined to send his son Dicky (Xu Jiao) to a posh private elementary school. Dicky, however, is a lot more interested in playing than studying, & hed like nothing more than a CJ1 robot dog to show up his bullying classmate. Unable to afford a CJ1, Ti brings home "e;CJ7"e;, a curious rubbery green ball he found at the dump. His son isnt impressed
- until the ball shows its true alien form, morphing into a little green dog whose penchant for mischief gives even Dicky a run for his money.

Stephen Chow has helped launched the careers of many a starlet, & this time CJ7 co-stars Mainland newcomer Kitty Zhang & talented child actress Xu Jiao who genderbends as Chows son. Chow was so impressed with Xu Jiaos performance, he not only has more plans in store for the budding ingenue, hes adopted her as his goddaughter. Other key comedy players include portly Stephen Chow regular Lam Chi Chung & the cuddly titular alien that serves as another testament to Chows ability to effectively integrate state-of-the-art CGI into his films.

This version comes with making-of.
