八十年代初期的邵氏电影，在赌片上下的工夫显然是比较大。比如这部投资不大、效益却不小的《打雀英雄传》，就是其中的一个代表作。刚刚在电视银屏上塑造完赌王形象的谢四哥，再度重操旧业，扮演起了足智多谋的麻雀英雄，角色尚算是有情有义。故事围绕着年青电脑专家钱小豪展开，四哥为了帮他，避免其麻雀馆落入麻雀千王败类岳华手上，不惜重新出山与其鏖战，双方斗智，最终胜出一筹。

某女子监狱，狱长野枝（和泉喜和子 饰）、牛山神父（仙波和之 饰）以及严厉的刑务官森岸子（渡辺良子 饰）占绝对统治地位。这里的犯人被要求不许思考，只许专心工作和吃饭，气氛极度压抑。而犯人之间也不团结，冴子（松川ナミ 饰）及其爪牙横行霸道，任意欺凌弱小。美丽的正代（浅見美那 饰）思念爱人，为此不惜越狱逃跑，却最终被抓返狱中。她偶然撞破岸子和牛山神父的苟且之事，遂以此作为要挟，在狱中和男友得以云雨。然而她的出格举动令狱友和岸子都大为光火，在和冴子互殴过后，她们一起被关入惩罚室。在这个如同地狱的黑暗所在，狱长、神父、刑务官都露出本来的丑恶面目……

A hopelessly estranged father catfishes his son in an attempt to reconnect.

Tom chases Jerry into a fish cannery; they get sealed into cans. Tom breaks out, but falls off a pier as the cans roll under him. A shark chases him out of the water; Tom drops an anchor on the shark. Meanwhile, Jerry has been hopping in his can; Tom opens it, and puts his finger in, which Jerry bites. Jerry tricks Tom into falling off the end of another pier, and right into the shark's path again. The shark manages to get Tom into a very precarious position, barely holding the jaws apart. Jerry takes pity, and dumps a shaker full of pepper into the shark, which ends up on the processing line and stuffed into a huge can. Tom is unrepentant, so Jerry tricks him with a fake shark fin.
