Jesminder “Jess” Bhamra (Parminder Nagra) dreams of playing professional soccer, but her strict Sikh parents have designs on her future as a lawyer and wife. So when Jess is recruited to join the local amateur team by the confident Jules (Keira Knightley), Jess keeps the hobby from her family, until a publicized match forces her father to reckon with his daughter’s true passion. Named for a kick technique popularized by English soccer star David Beckham, this British comedy was a critical success that inspired a generation of women to take up the sport.

Sing (Stephen Chow), a former Shaolin monk known as Mighty Steel Leg, is down on his luck. Poor and unable to recruit students to carry out his dream of popularizing martial arts in the modern world, he resorts to petty theft to survive. When former soccer player Golden Leg Fung (longtime Chow collaborator Ng Man-tat) whose dreams of stardom were squashed years prior, notices Sing’s superhuman abilities, he persuades him to use his skills for soccer. Sing assembles a team of martial-arts masters to face off against a colorful swath of eccentric professional players. Stephen Chow’s slapstick sports comedy was a smash hit in Hong Kong and introduced Chow’s signature style to an international audience.
