2. Crazy Alien (疯狂的外星人)

Leading the Chinese box office during the holiday period, Crazy Alien also incorporates the imaginative elements of science fiction with a dash of comedy. Throw in a controversial mocking portrayal of the United States, and the movie gets the Western world talking about it, too.

Geng decides to take the creature in and train it for shows, while the alien tries to avoid the US government’s attempts to locate and capture it.
