Originally born attached to Duane's side, the little monster was surgically removed by some quack doctors and rudely left for dead in a plastic garbage bag. But Belial survived, and Duane has hit the Big Apple with his beastly bro to wreak havoc on the surgeons who separated them. Things get complicated, however when Duane gets romantically sidetracked by the sexy, wig-wearing receptionist of one of the doomed doctors, and his jealous telepathic sibling reacts...well, poorly."

My Young Auntie

My Young Auntie (1981)
Director: Liu Chia-Liang
Starring: Liu Chia Liang, Kara Hui, Hsiao Hou, Wang Lung Wei
Personal Rating: 4/5

"Set sometime in the early twentieth century, My Young Auntie tells the story of Jing Dai-Nan (Kara Hui), a loyal student who marries her elderly master as a favor to him. Why? Well, for plot purposes, it’s important for Dai-Nan to take control of her master’s assets when he croaks (and he does) and keep them away from the dastardly Yu Wing-Sang (Wang Lung-Wei). Now newly widowed, it’s up to Dai-Nan to rightfully bestow her master’s property upon his most deserving, yet slightly meek nephew, Yu Jing-Chuen (Liu Chia Liang). Thanks to Chinese custom, the fact that she’s the wife of a family elder--hasty as the marriage was--makes her a “senior” in the family hierarchy, a distinction she uses to her full advantage. Naturally, things get a little crazy when Jing-Chuen’s son, Ah Tao, returns home from school. Although she and Ah Tao (who’s rechristened himself “Charlie”) are about the same age, custom dictates that Ah Tao and his father must defer to “their young auntie”. Naturally, plenty of hijinks ensue."
