Magic Lizard

After an opening sequence in which we watch Magic Lizard roller-skating around the city to the accompaniment of 80s dance music, recycled footage from the earlier Giant and Jumbo A shows us some space aliens landing in a pink flying saucer. One of the aliens steals into a cave beneath a temple where the hapless but lovable Magic Lizard appears to be responsible for guarding some kind of treasure. After threatening Magic Lizard with a light saber, the alien makes off with a crystal of some sort, after which Magic Lizard starts with the high-pitched nattering and spazzing out that will characterize his behavior for the rest of the film. He runs to Yuk Wud Jaeng, the demon-like living statue previously featured in both Giant and Jumbo A and Tah Tien and pleads for his help. Yuk Wud Jaeng takes off into the heavens, not to be seen again for some time.

Kanan Kiri OK II

In this sequel, Anita and her husband, Rio, are offered to act in a film. Kadir, their housekeeper, wants to join in. Their neighbour, Tati, and her housekeeper, Doyok, also want to join in. Rio, Anita, and Kadir pass the selection, after deceiving Tati and Doyok. Then a misunderstanding happens. Rio, Anita, and Kadir are misconstrued as having a fight when they are actually rehearsing a scene. Meanwhile Tati, who often uses the phone at Rio’s house to contact the director, is suspected of having an affair, leading to more comedy of errors. It seems to be an intention to criticize the film industry.
