CJ7 (Cháng Jiāng qī hào) is a 2008 Hong Kong science fiction/comedy film co-written, co-produced and directed by Stephen Chow, who also stars in the film。
Chow plays a man who lives in a partly demolished house。 He takes in a homeless boy (who is actually played by a girl, Xu Jiao)。
Whether the semi-demolished house and the homeless boy are on Earth, or on the alien planet is not clear。 As Chow"s character can"t afford to buy a toy for the child, he finds a makeshift toy in the garbage and brings it back to his "son"。
The "toy" is actually a powerful alien device and the aliens are desperate to get it back。Some rumours state that it is a "pet" rather than a "toy"。
The reason Chow"s character can"t afford to buy the child a toy is because he is fired without pay from his part-time job as a construction worker。
His boss is a contractor played by Lam Chi Chung。 Chow plays an astronaut who crashes his spacecraft on another planet。 He befriends an android translator (played by Kitty Zhang) who can communicate with aliens。
Scenes include Chow"s character being taken to hospital after seemingly plunging to his death; the adopted child crying, whilst Kitty Zhang"s android character plays teacher; a birthday party for the child。
