In "Harrie Takes Off," police officers Harrie Vermeulen and his nephew Barrie Vermeulen are tasked with busting an illegal brothel. But it's not that simple. The villains are elusive. The infamous Madame Claude and her assistant Bibs always manage to outsmart the two not-so-bright officers. Despite the chief commissioner's desperate decision to close the case, Harrie and Barrie don't give up easily. Without informing anyone, they secretly set out to catch the ladies red-handed. Countless disguises, schemes, and plans are put into action. But whether they're posing as plumbers, pole dancers, or Harrie Krishna collectors, providing evidence proves to be difficult. Especially after the two accidentally ingest a whole jar of Viagra. However, the commissioner reveals a surprising side of himself. And it turns out Bibs isn't exactly who she claims to be either.

Red Heroine was a smash hit on release and a prime example of the martial arts explosion of the late 20s (setting the template for later revivals), but with a crucial twist: in place of the typical, manly hero we have a swashbuckling woman. At first she’s a helpless abductee, then an unstoppable killing machine, fighting to stop a tyrannical warlord ravaging the countryside and enslaving numerous (very) scantily-clad young women.

Zidik now works together with Hassan in the junkyard but both men are stuck in the past. 15 years ago, they lost their loved ones to a virus that turned people violent. Hassan often "forgets" that the virus killed his wife, while Zidik still remembers his sister attacking his mother and his father sacrificing himself to save Zidik. He also often thinks of Zooey, the girl he met at the orphanage he briefly stayed at before being kicked out by the evil Kak Lily. Meanwhile, Dr. Rahman, a disgraced scientist who previously managed to contain the virus, manufactures a new strain of zombie virus to create chaos. Amid this new zombie outbreak, Zidik encounters a zombified Zooey who tries to attack him but she slowly begins to remember who he is. Zidik then gets taken prisoner by Dr. Rahman when the doctor discovers that he is immune to the virus.
