Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Daffy Duck Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1957 Boston Quackie, (co-starring Porky Pig,) and directed by Robert McKimson.
This is one of the few shorts alongside Quackodile Tears where Daffy is seen without his white collar.
In celebration of the Lunar New Year, today's episode of The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour wants to watch, with you, Apple's seventh annual film shot entirely with the iPhone 15 Pro Max to celebrate the festive occasion:
The film tells the heartwarming story of a young girl with a unique shapeshifting ability. Through her journey, she learns to overcome her insecurities and embraces her true self. The film aims to bring the audience a heartwarming tale about self-discovery in their pursuit of life in the modern world.
Created in association with TBWA\Media Arts Lab Shanghai, the 15-minute film titled Little Garlic is directed by American filmmaker Marc Webb and features Chinese actor Fan Wei in a lead role.
Another facet of the Lunar New Year celebration, is about traditions. Here at ACME, we can think of no better way to start a tradition with your family by watching this 1990 Hong Kong comedy film, All for the Winner, directed by Jeffrey Lau and Corey Yuen, and starring Stephen Chow, and Ng Man-tat. This is the first movie ever in Hong Kong to cross the $40 million dollar mark in the Hong Kong box office. The film is a parody of God of Gamblers, directed by Wong Jing. So push away from the table, get comfortable and enjoy the film.
Instead of doing a proper sequel, Stephen Chow took his "Gambling Saint" character into Wong Jing's God of Gamblers franchise for two subsequent features. The only true sequel/spin-off to All for the Winner is the film The Top Bet, which cast Anita Mui as Sing's sister. Stephen Chow had a minor cameo in that film.
Demand Euphoria!
