Israelilaisen Ari Folmanin kirjoittama ja ohjaama Waltz with Bashir on äärimäisen henkilökohtainen teos. Dokumenttielokuvassa palataan vuoteen 1982, Israelin ja Libanonin välisen sodan aikoihin sekä erityisesti Sabran ja Shatilan palestiinalaiskylien verilöylyyn. Sodassa mukana ollut Folman huomasi vuosien jälkeen ettei muista tapahtumista enää mitään. Hän aloitti kokemustensa rekonstruoinnin ja ryhtyi puhumaan sodasta paitsi psykoterapeuttinsa myös silloisten ystäviensä ja armeijatovereidensa kanssa. Lopputuloksena on vaikuttava teos muistamisesta, unista ja sodan traumoista. Maailmalla monasti palkitussa elokuvassa on poikkeuksellinen muoto: Folman teki aiheesta animaatiodokumentin. Näin hän pääsi paremmin kiinni aiheeseen: mukana on paitsi vuoden 1982 sotatapahtumia myös epäluotettavia muistikuvia, houreita ja painajaisia.

Jackie Chan esittää rasavilliä nuorukaista joka pelleiltyään ympäriinsä joutuu isänsä hylkäämänä kurinpalautukseen juopon Kung Fu-mestari-setänsä So Hain (Siu Tien Yuen) luokse tässä Woo-ping Yuenin Kung Fu-slapstick-komediassa, jossa taistelukohtauksia viljellään kuin riisiä pellolla. So Hain "Kahdeksan juoppojumalan tekniikassa" on vain se vika, että sitä pystyy täysipainoisesti käyttämään vain änkyräkännissä. Käytännössä se toimii siis niin, että mitä enemmän juot, sen parempi potkintakerroin on taistelun tuoksinassa.
