I'm intrigued at the very possibility of a mainstream Korean movie actual taking place somewhere besides Korea. It should be interesting to see Korean characters finally interact (hopefully!) with other cultures, something of a rarity in homegrown product.

I'm so far behind on my Korean dvds I've even stopped ordering them for the most part. But I'm always up for a gambling film! Might have to dip back in with Tazza. :roll:

:shock:

This has got to be the most mind-boggling article I've read this year!! I thought Chinese piracy here in Canada was ballsy, but that absolutely, bar none, takes the cake. "That's not a mouse! It's a cat with big ears!" Unreal! :lol: How much do you wanna bet that park "disappears" off the maps—and subsequently out of the foreign media spotlight—during the Olympics? Many, MANY thanks for posting that. What a read! (including the discussion forum underneath it!)

But it seems the park has been in existence for a few years! My office blocks the link but here is their official web site, and appropriately named, too:

(Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park)

On a related noted, Chow Yun Fat knows the difference between playing a pirate and being a pirate. He visits HK's Disneyland:
