很久很久以前，有一个荒淫无道的皇帝（陈强 饰），他倾一国之力修建长乐宫，引得民不聊生，怨声载道。更有奸臣佞徒百般逢迎，四方网罗貌似天仙的美女送入宫中，供皇帝戏谑玩乐。在一处荒野深山，采石老翁不慎遇险，幸得善良耿直的好男儿庄哥（白德彰 饰）搭救。庄哥随老翁回到住所，见到了老人的女儿巧姐（李忆兰 饰）。巧姐貌美如花，纯洁善良，老翁以她的形象雕刻的仙女雕像连皇帝也动心，也由此为这对苦命带来厄运。不久之后，佞臣带军队逼迫巧姐入宫，巧姐抵死不从，跳崖自尽，幸得仙人相助将其摄入画中。几经辗转，这幅画来到庄哥手中，两个相互爱慕的年轻人就这样重逢了，而新的磨难正向他们逼近……

此片由曾以《空前绝后满天飞》和《家有恶夫》扬名电影界的三位导演吉姆．亚伯拉罕斯、戴维．朱克、和杰里．朱克共同执导，三人共有的特点就是惯以戏谑性的电影手法来泡制笑料。剧情描述一名扬名美国的摇滚乐歌手尼克瑞应邀前往东德表演，邂逅科学家佛莱曼的女儿希拉莉，在得知佛莱曼被囚在监狱制造一种致命武器后，决意帮助她劫狱救父，因此无意中被卷入了一宗间谍案。该片以极端夸张的手法模仿希契科克式的间谍动作，对××主义有较深的讽刺意味，其中也有不少令人忍俊不禁的发笑片断和场面，值得一看。

This very Kafka-esque film is Keaton's response to the Fatty Arbuckle scandal.[citation needed] Even though the central character's intentions are good, he cannot win, no matter how inventively he tries. He gets into various scraps with police officers throughout the film. Eventually, he unwittingly throws a bomb into a police parade and ends up being chased by a horde of cops.At the end of the film, Keaton's character locks up the cops in the police station. However, the girl he is trying to woo disapproves of his behavior and gives him the cold shoulder. Therefore, he unlocks the police station and is immediately pulled in by the cops. The film ends with the title "The End" written on a tombstone with Keaton's pork pie hat propped on it.One of Keaton's most iconic and brilliantly-constructed short films, Cops was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry in 1997.

directed by Jang Sun-Woo is a personal essay on Korean cinema told as a journey through a country torn by war and crushed by military dictatorships and colonial oppression. The journey takes Jang Sun-Woo from Seoul to the de-militarised zone near the North Korean border, interviewing noted filmmakers, local farmers, and cinema-managers along the way, looking for the essence of the much-censored national cinema.
