Gymna skandala

One lie requires two to cover it up, and two require four. Even Kosmas cannot escape this inviolable rule, who, in order to regularly escape his marital obligations, has created a fictional representative for his business in Rhodes. When he needs to introduce this representative, his only solution is to turn to an old friend with questionable tastes, Lele, who shows up completely unexpectedly to ask for his help. The second lie will create tragicomic situations because the imaginary person also takes on flesh and blood, claiming his own rights, resulting in a chain of misunderstandings that, for Kosmas, is a dead end...

Kin

The story follows Maria Konovalova who travels from her rural village to visit her daughter Nina in the city. Maria's arrival exposes the stark contrasts between rural and urban lifestyles and reveals deep-seated family tensions. Interestingly, Родня (Rodnya) in Russian sounds very similar to the word Родина (Rodina), which means "Motherland." The film features three generations of women — Maria, her daughter Nina, and her granddaughter Irina — symbolizing three different Russias: one from the past, one modern, and one representing the future.

Sing, an ex-con who's supposed to dig up the buried loot of his three still-jailed buddies...but when he gets to it, he finds that the treasure chest is full of rocks! The other three are convinced that Sing stole the goods for himself, so Sing decides to hide out with his kick-butt cousin Kuen, played with athletic aplomb by kung-fu princess Kara Hui! But some insurance investigators (Carina Lau and Billy Lau) are also after the loot, and there's even a mousy travel agent (future director Clarence Fok) thrown in for good measure. It all adds up to numerous shenanigans and action-comedy hijinks, culminating in a knockdown action finale set in a warehouse! Wooden crates, two-by-fours, and more props than you can name are used and abused in the name of creative eighties HK-style action, which Jackie Chan and company are only too glad to dispense to the audience!
