I'd like to start a ping list for Bolliwood and Hong Kong Movies. Often these are low budget by US standards but can be really funny and lack the PC nonsense in Hollywood productions.
This one is a spoof of James Bond, Peter Gun, Get Smart, Die Hard, and Lethal Weapon and several Bruce Lee Films.
It is low brow humor very bloody and a tremendous amount of fun. See how many parodies you can identify.
Enjoy
Sounds good but why Bolliwood and Hong Kong?
I like Korean dramas, personally but I have also watched a few from Taiwan that I liked.
Anyway, there was a 2008 Korean “western” I thought was funny called “The Good, The Bad, The Weird”. Obviously a take on the Clint Eastwood film.
I am sure there are places to watch it online, probably not one of the normal “legal” sites if you know what I mean.

Another good Korea film
“I’m a Cyborg but it’s OK”
I can’t begin to explain that one
Just finished watching “they Tokugowa Chronicles”.
Japanese history, sliced and diced, very well done
though.
I know! I think I saw that one. Still not sure I got it. lol
Kung Fu Hustle, and any black and white Zatoichi.
The movie is From Beijing with Love (1994).
In comic Woody Allen's film debut, he took the Japanese action film "International Secret Police: Key of Keys" and re-dubbed it, changing the plot to make it revolve around a secret egg salad recipe.
Great post. Hope folks post some good ones.
I never saw that one. baduk will ruin you! lol
I remember seeing a Korean movie on Dramafever loosely based on a real story of a former Olympic weightlifter, down on his luck, who starts a high-school girls weightlifting team.
“Lifting King Kong” I think was the English name
It wasn’t a great quality film and they were intentionally going for an “old look” too.
The thing I remember most is that the girls really looked like high schoolers, even though some of the actresses were in their twenties.
Big Trouble in Little China is terrific.
““I told you to bring mayonnaise!””
“We’ll use Miracle Whip.” LOL.
