Then it's even more hilarious, because they're only showing their own ignorance of what's going on outside their borders while trying to make fun of others for not being 'aware' enough of what's going on outside their borders.Secondhand Revenant said:
It's hilarious if people are annoyed by it and someone else on the other side of the world does it to? Is it somehow supposed to be less annoying or dumb? They aren't even trying to make fun of someone for not being aware of stuff outside their borders. People are mocking the idea that a martial arts film that's apparently mostly action needs to be remade for AmericansIhateregistering1 said:
I remember reading in an interview somewhere it had something to do with a bunch of Hollywood red tape nonsense. They wanted to call it just The Raid, but couldn't get clearance for that title, so they had to add the Redemption subtitle to it. Even Sony couldn't get whoever it was that was holding them up to clear the name.fix-the-spade said:
Detroit would be the only one I could really think of. I mean, no one really batted an eye in "Assault on Precinct 13" when it was an entire department of crooked Detroit Cops, and there are huge chunks of Detroit that are essentially abandoned now, so it would be realistic to imagine a high-rise that is completely controlled by a Gang.Gordon_4 said:
Yes, but my point is that people are attempting to use this as some sort of condemnation of American culture, while completely ignoring the fact that it's done all the time by a different culture, but I guess you don't get smug elitist points for making fun of Indian culture and Bollywood.Secondhand Revenant said:
that is indeed an amazing fight scenes as well. already the fight before that was awesome too. generally the appearance of the baseball guy and hammer girl have also an impressive and unforgettable scenes.Chester Rabbit said:
A lot of countries have made remakes of US movies because their people simply don't have any access to those movies. Yet the US could very easily import foreign movies but people from the US insist on changing everything to having the US as the centre of the universe. Because the US is the world, according to the US anyway.Ihateregistering1 said:
So you speak for 320,000,000 people? Good to know, I'll shoot you a message if I need a restaurant recommendation.Chaos Marine said:
Not so much "hostile" as "it doesn't really go well with the US masses", which has always been funny to me because most other countries that don't speak English tend to get subtitled versions, unless they're kids movies or really popular material. The last two most often getting dubs.Shiftygiant said:
