Jack Neo’s ‘masterpiece’, following the goofball exploits of a group of female enlistees, finally arrives on streaming — almost 19 months after its theatrical run? (The King of Musang King didn’t take that long.) Did Neo recut the movie or something? Inquiring minds want to know. The follow-up, Ah Girls Go Army Again, arrives on Sept 29.

The Glory villain Park Sung-Hoon stars in this 12-part black comedy as a cop (a good one, we hope) investigating a murder that’s connected to a clumsy kidnapper (Kiss Sixth Sense’s Yoon Kye-Sang) and his hostage-turned-accomplice 11-year-old girl (Pachinko’s Yoo Na). Based on the book of the same name.

Ruby Lin produced this 12-part Taiwanese dramedy starring Chris Wu as a failed businessman who returns home from overseas to find his family in a mess. Maybe coming home isn't a good idea. The serial also stars Sandrine Pinna, Joe Cheng, Yang Kuei Mei, King Jieh-Wen, Sun Ke-Fang, Beatrice Fang and Hsieh Zhanrong.

Set in the fantastical Element City, where Fire, Water, Earth and Air residents co-exist, Pixar’s latest feature follows the blossoming romance between Fire element Amber (Leah Lewis), and Water element Wade (Mamoudou Athie). Also debuting that day is the making-of docu Good Chemistry: The Story of Elemental, and the short, Carl’s Date, which played before Elemental during its theatrical run. Watch our interview with Elemental director Peter Sohn when he was in Singapore last year.

In other news, UPS is in deep doo-doo when it’s hit by a cyber-attack amid talks to be sold to a media mogul (season newbie Jon Hamm), who may or may not be inspired by Elon Musk. (Clue: they both love rockets.) Season 3 will launch with two episodes, followed by new instalments every Wednesday.
