Traditional basketball and the practice of kung fu intersect with startling and surprisingly humorous results in Chu Yin Ping's martial arts comedy Kung Fu Dunk. Jay Chou stars as Shi-Jie, a child bereft by his parents as an infant but ceremoniously adopted by the master of the local kung fu school. Unsurprisingly, growing up in this environment, Shi-Jie trains aggressively in kung fu and develops an intuitive ability to predict his opponents' moves before they occur - an ability that translates effortlessly to skills on the basketball court. In time the youth catches the eye of Chen-Li, a businessman who sees Shi-Jie's potential for monetary exploitation and convinces him to play basketball for a nearby college. Chen-Li buries his real motives beneath his phony expressed desire to help the young man regain contact with his family, and unfortunately, Shi-Jie fails to see through it. He's far more fixated on achieving team stardom for personal reasons that involve wooing the sister of team captain Ting-Wei. Meanwhile, the entire team must face the prospect of squaring off against a rival team so vicious and brutal that their on-court tactics have caused them to be banned in the United States. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Most college boys would be excited about a spaceship crashing to Earth full of beautiful, alien women whose race of servants live only to do the bidding of willing men. Unfortunately, Ikuhara is not like most college boys; he keeps his nose burried in books for school. Still, when he finds one of these aliens, which the humans have come to call DearS, she looks frightened and alone and so he brings her home to help calm her nerves. Ikuhara thinks that the lovely alien girl will just come in for a few minutes, but the girl, Ren, can't fight her natural instincts and takes to Ikuhara as a new master. Most guys would kill to be in Ikuhara's shoes, but he is paranoid that Ren is planning on brainwashing him. Will he keep running away from his new servant even though there are other forces that want her for themselves? ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

Hideki Motosuwa has spent his entire life working on a farm and dreaming of one day moving to the big city for college. His dreaming screeches to a halt, however, when he isn't accepted. Undaunted, Hideki decides to move to the city anyway and take college prep classes so that he can reapply. As soon as he arrives in the city, he is bombarded with the newest craze in technology: persacoms. These personal computers look, walk, talk and act like lovely women--and Hideki is desperate to have one. As a poor student, he can't possibly afford one, but then one night, he finds an abandoned persacom lying in an ally. When he takes her home, he discovers that not only does she have no operating system installed, but she does not appear to have been made by any known manufacturer. He names her Chi, as this is all she can say, and as they spend more time together, Hideki begins to question just where Chi came from. She learns how to speak and act by interacting with Hideki and, despite knowing better, Hideki can't help but wonder if Chi is one of the mysterious Chobits persacoms: the persacoms of urban legend that were made with the ability to learn, think and love. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
