Technically, it's a U.S.-Hong Kong co-production, a collaboration of Warner Bros. and Golden Harvest, although WB called the shots. Still, it's a stretch to call it a foreign film.

Nope. Golden Harvest had nothing to do with ETD. It was co-produced by Concord. A production company that was owned by Bruce Lee and Raymond Chow.

Re: Your favorite foreign movies

I'm an old, old man and didn't have much access to foreign films, -they barely played on local TV, and if they did, it was late at night and they were dubbed. I had a standard mantra, -"I don't like dubbing and I hate reading subtitles". One film changed my whole attitude about Foreign films, -"Le Femme Nikita". I went to the local art house based on the reviews, but I went in with some major trepidations. I saw the film and was blown away, -it wasn't anything like what I expected and it's subtitles didn't bother me one bit. After that, -and when DVD rental opened up a world of films to choose from, -I watched, -and continue to watch, -a great many foreign films.
