What makes it so noticable in t...That is so true!!<br /><br />What makes it so noticable in this instance is that there is no effort made to make the actor look Chinese - they just put a fake beard on him, put him in a robe with some dragons on it and voila!! :)<br /><br />KarlosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709006422712281414.post-62393348241411828292010-01-18T22:30:55.108+01:002010-01-18T22:30:55.108+01:00Haha, sounds like you enjoyed it more than our IMD...Haha, sounds like you enjoyed it more than our IMDb friend! xD<br /><br />Making a white guy play an Asian is definitely ridiculous and it becomes even more surreal when you start to think about how often it's been done; I mean RAIDERS is a fairly low budget film but think about films like the old FU MANCHU and MR MOTO films that had Christopher Lee and Peter Lorre in the leads. And these films were big budget films (for their time).

It&...Spooky - I finally saw this just last night!!<br /><br />It's a lot of fun, with a wacky plot, tons of action, and James Mitchum alternating between looking drunk and wondering where he is.<br /><br />Also, putting a Fu Manchu beard on a white guy and saying he's Chinese - priceless!!<br /><br /><br />KarlosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
