Hey everyone
I was wondering how many Hong Kong movies out there that are recorded in all or primarily all english dialogue:

Heres what I can think of:

The Touch: Michelle Yeoh
Naked Weapon: Maggie Q, Anya
Enter the Eagles: Shannon Lee and Mike Wong
Gen X Cops: Probably 50% english
Gen Y Cops: Probably 80% english

Any others that I am missing?

China Strike Force was shot in two different versions. One in Mandarin and one in English.

Black Mask 2: City of Masks also has alot of English in it.

Oh, and several of Jackie Chans late 90's movies.

what about Silver Hawk?
granted, i hear this movie sucks.

Enter the Dragon, if you did not count this as hollywwod movie.

renaldow

Enter the Dragon is a hollywood movie.

dyerjp

add fulltime killer to the list.

jscout

Fulltime Killer wasn't all or primarily all English. Only a few scenes. There was more Japanese than English.

Thanks I forgot about China Strike Force....I remember Coolio and Mark Dacascos was in it as well.

I also forgot that Who am I? and The Accidental Spy had alot of english dialogue.

I thought about Black Mask 2, but wasn't that a Made for Home Video US movie? Enter the Dragon is definitely a Hollywood movie, although alot of the actors audio tracks were obviously dubbed.

I also forgot that a bunch of Michael Wong's movies have him ranting in english like "Violent Cop" and "Final Option" What strikes me as funny about this is that he speaks American english dialogue and the other actors respond back in Cantonese like they understood everything he just said.

tinlunlau

why would that surprise you?
i get into alot of conversations like that in real life and it's not like nobody understands english in hong kong.

Black Mask 2 was a $100 million dollar bomb (okay, so Hong Kong dollars, but still). It was made in Hong Kong for Hong Kong theatres but shot in English to get money outside of Hong Kong. It was released on DVD in North America before it was released in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong actors who dubbed the voices for the Cantonese version would be a director's wet dream if they would all be in the same movie. China Strike Force has English, Mandarin, Cantonese and even some French in it. Not really important but thought I'd say it anyway.

Can't think of any other movie to add to the list, though.

Black Mask 2 was one of the worst movies ever, by the way.

Another terrible film with lots of english was The Wesley Mysterious File.

That it! Thanks. I knew I remembered a movie like that. Yeah, Wesley's Mysterious File was bad but it looked like The Terminator compared to Black Mask 2.
