Jack Bauer was tortured by the Chinese and fans of the TV show 24 actually started a campaign to boycott China because an American writer wrote in a script that Chinese people tortured their hero Jack Bauer. Back in the 80s when Rambo II was first released, after watching the movie, a group of teens in the Midwest went out and attacked Vietnamese on the street. Was that legal since the Vietnamese in the movie interfered with John Rambo from rescuing US soldiers illegalling imprisoned in Vietnam?

If you think that's bad, after The Empire Strikes Back, Billy Dee Williams' kids were harassed at school because their dad sold out Han Solo to Jabba the Hutt.

It is true that American remakes of Asian movies tend to be God awful. The Dragonball movie was absolute shit and didn't even resemble Dragonball. And now they're doing Cowboy Bebop. If they ruin Bebop...well...I'm going to root for the Chinese when I see Red Dawn.

I love the Irony... The Original Red Dawn Used concepts and Ideas leaking out of the Afghanistan invasion of the 1980's too equip the Russians, and at one point the Chinese are said too have been on the American side of the conflict... or rather what was left.
Jed Eckert: ...Well, who *is* on our side?
Col. Andy Tanner: Six hundred million screaming Chinamen.
Darryl Bates: Last I heard, there were a billion screaming Chinamen.
Col. Andy Tanner: There *were*.

Well there have been much more worse cases in history. In the early days of cinema, there was a movie made called Broken Blossum. It was about a sinister Chinese man who seduces a white woman from her husband. The husband is so distraught he kills himself. When this movie was shown to audiences in Los Angeles, they stormed out of the theater, marched down to LA's Chinatown, burned it down, and killed a couple dozen Chinese.

OMG cowboy bebop too?!
it's my all time favorite
it better be good. gd thing reeves is in it. and at least it's spike won't be played by cage..that'd be screwed up
instead we should brainstorm who's fit for playing as valentine, ed, jet, the dog, juliet and vicious.

for some reason i feel there will be bullet time in this movie..:confused:

They are casting they are apparently casting Keanu Reeves to as playing the role of Spike Spiegel. Which = Fail in my book the only role he can play convincingly is Bill and Ted excellent adventure other than that he has about as much facial expressions as a robot.

Re: Movies in General/ Star Trek etc etc

On the subject of The Departed/Infernal Affairs: There was actually an infamous blunder during the 2007 Academy Awards, where they introduced the movie as being "based on a Japanese film". Giving Japan credit for Chinese things is actually really common. Loads of people think that the game Go is Japanese. The New York Times even had an article about the game, titled, "A Japanese Game of Skill". In the next issue they ran a correction, where they stated, "Although Go is an important part of Japanese culture, it is believed to have originated in China." Haha, "believed to have".

And they wonder why Chinese are so pissed off at the West. And they wonder why we dislike them so much and their ways and what they do?
