    They know when to keep their mouths shut.

    The problem is that Hollywood just uses it's massive rescources to buy good asian actors/directors and then use them in the most retarded or bad ways (Jackie Chan and Jet Li come to mind).

    The asian directors may get that huge budget, but they'll also get all the limitations of Hollywood pictures they didn't have before.
    I totally agree, I mean Jackie Chan and Jet Li have been in good movies that does not involve just running on walls or kicking ass

    i mean that's a cliche stereotype

    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

    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

    And I remember now, at the top of my lungs in my arms, she dies, she dies.
