@Drummerboy,

Yes 陈道明,has fantastic taste in projects, which is why he is always associated with the best in Chinese entertainment.

He he, right, definitely quite fake.

Like muscle-bound heroes who run, bare chested, through barrages of bullets again and again and somehow, no matter how many times they do battle, single-handedly, with armies of crack-shot soldiers always seem to emerge unscathed to ultimately save the day.

Leading men who never eat or drink for an entire day, run around looking for clues to uncover covert plots, go through harrowing situations while still deprived of sustenance, starving and dehydrated, confront the bad guys in shootouts countless times, but never get shot, wounded, or even tired, then survive bomb blasts that detonate within several feet of them, and survive, again completely unscathed and somehow also undeafened, get killed and come back to life to save the world from terrorists.

Mask wearing psycho-killers who are seriously injured three of four times during the course of a film, then shot several times and, even though mortally wounded always manage to come back shrieking for one final shot at the kill at the end of a film and then turn into undead bloodthirsty zombies through countless sequels.

Disconnected husbands and fathers on the verge of divorce who fall into magical whirlpools and become young again, then miraculously patch up their relationships with estranged wives and kids to become a happy family once again.

Brilliant and clearly mentally sound professors who inexplicably fall madly in love with rude, immature, disrespectful and narcissistic young girls, then proceed to shut them away from society, then go on the run to hide their pedophilic relationship, and when the girl runs away, abandon all upbringing, education and sanity and proceed to shoot the brilliant bohemian who they believe convinced the girl to leave them and later die in prison.

Groups of insanely sexy and fabulous looking super powerful supermen and women on treks through jungles who do battle with giant,supercharged snakes.

Angst-ridden cops who magically make contact with their dead fathers and save them from dying in a past time through mystical sunspot-anomaly-powered ham radios.

Mentally unstable and jealously fueled mad-women who are clearly drowned, dead and gone and yet still unimaginably rise again from the water, shrieking, to make one last attempt to violently take out the estranged object of their jealous rage-filled affections and as they burst forth from the water, take a deep, cleansing breath and yet aren't affected, even one time by any cough/gag reflex, although their lungs have obviously been filled to capacity with water.

Brilliant flesh-eating psychopaths who inexplicably manage to escape from maximum security asylums by wearing the skin of dead security guards, then later break into the house of their arch-nemesis, give them a lobotomy, then pull off their scull cap and feed them their own butter-sauteed brains while the captured remarks at how sumptuous their own fried grey matter tastes.

Your right...fake...SO fake.

Oh wait...that's AMERICAN movies....
