i mean that's a cliche stereotype

Let's hope they'll be put to good use soon, they're not getting any younger...

they can always bring out the older movies from the Hong Kong archive

What about police story?

Also, is Kung fu Hustle a new movie or a remake?

A tale of two sisters was one damn creepy movie and now they are making a more western version. Why cant they jsut show the original woith subtitles. I like the Ring and GRudge but some movies are better untouched.

Haha....think of the money you could make if you were the producers of those movies...goshies, u would be filthy dam rich =P, none the less, asian movies would probly turn out like our american movies and get downright boring and the same stuff over and over, but that is just my opinion =P

what's kung fu hustle??

by the way, anyone seen Ong Bak?? my friend saw it already but I never got a chance to borrrow the dvd

Coming form a non English/French/Chinese/Korean/Japanese speaking country I'm am pretty used to subtitles. Films can still be very scary with them.
And on top of that, most asian horror flicks don't feature alot of dialogue in the suspensful parts.
They know when to keep their mouths shut.

Hey, I'm not afraid of subtitles > I'd rather watch the originals with subs than dubs. And yes, they can be very scary, regardless of subtitles.
so, um, just where are you from, Hassun? Just curious, you have good english, I always thought you were from here or maybe England
