See the hijinks of Ranma Saotome, a young man cursed to turn into a woman every time he is doused with cold water, in Superhero Sunday's "Ranma 1/2." 

Ranma finds himself suddenly betrothed to the feisty Akane Tendo due to an agreement between their dojo master fathers. He has to find a way to reverse the curse that befell him, all while fighting off jealous suitors and eccentric family members. Kento Kaku and Natsuna Watanabe play Ranma in his male and female form respectively, while Yui Aragaki is Akane. They are joined by Ryosei Takayama, who plays the villain Okamada, one of the original characters introduced by the live action movie.

After this cute action love comedy, walk the sands of Egypt with Kapuso Movie Festival's "The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption." 

In this sixth installment of the Mummy franchise, Scorpion King Mathayus lets his kingdom fall apart when his wife Cassandra dies. He then becomes a mercenary and ends up working for King Horus who is trying to defend his kingdom from being taken over by his scheming, power-hungry younger brother, Talus. Who will come out on top of this struggle for power?
 
Catch "Ranma 1/2" on Superhero Sunday at 11 a.m. and "The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption" at 12 p.m. this Sunday, November 30 on GMA!
