Mission Impossible?

To uphold the image of the Shanghai city, China Censorship Board has asked M:I III producer and director to delete certain scenes that are deemed “harmful” to the image of Shanghai.

The dirty laundry shown are the problem here.  In one scene laundry is shown hanging from balconies.  In another there are bamboo poles all over the rooftop with underwears hanging.

So will M:I III be a mission impossible in China?

If you choose to accept this mission…

I have watched Mission: Impossible III last last Friday.  It is a nice movie, better than the last 2 in my opinion.  The plot might not be much but the show is jam pack with action.

According to the news article at the official website of Fearless, the weekend outing in most of East Asia total US$ 7.5 million (the news article said South East Asia, but the report include China, HK and Taiwan, thus I change it to East Asia).  Quote “These weekend numbers have surpassed that of “Hero“, “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon” and “House Of Flying Daggers“.”

Jet Li’s new shows is awesome!

The fighting is awesome and the story is good.  My take is that anyone who like action movie should definitely watch this.  Very little special effects is employ in this movie (for the fighting scene at least) which make the fighting scene quite true to real Chinese Wushu.  The idealogy put forth in this movie is also true to the teaching of the Wushu.  The true strength of a Chinese pugilist is not in his skill but in his way of treating others and knowing oneself.

Watch the trailer.
