CJ7

Chow plays a man who lives in a partly demolished house and who takes in a homeless boy (who is actually played by a girl, Xu Jiao). As Chow’s character can’t afford to buy a toy for the child, he finds a makeshift toy in the garbage and brings it back to his “son”. The toy is actually an alien and other aliens are desperate to get it back. Stephen Chow Sing-Chi, is a scriptwriter, film director and actor in many blockbuster movies in Hong Kong and is considered to be one of the finest Hong Kong screen comedians. He was responsible for many popular hits including “Shaolin Soccer” (2001) and “Kung Fu Hustle” (2004), which were both applauded in the West. From the looks of the trailer, CJ7 seems to adopt alot of CGI, but judging by the wacky physical entertainment of Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, may work quite well with Stephen’s brand of humour.
