Joe Dante directs Inner Space - a sci-fi romp that grafts a daft yet dazzling comic plot onto the glorious gimmick of 1966’s Fantastic Voyage, set in the other-worldliness of the human body.

Space Place and Aro Video bring you a family film for the underdog (or alien) in us all. Hong Kong actor-writer-director wunderkind Stephen Chow is best known in the West for his lavish comic fantasies Shaolin Soccer (2001) and Kung-Fu Hustle (2004) but this, his first “family” film, is no less remarkable.
