If anyone is wondering how China can exert this much control. It's because the US market does not regulate what it's movie makers produce. In the US, you are free to produce whatever you want, while in China, it's heavily regulated. So a movie which is heavily regulated according to Chinese specifications, can be shown in the US and in China. While a movie that is not regulated at all can only be shown in the US. Furthermore, the Chinese communist party had the genius idea of setting a quota on how many western movies that can be shown in China each year. Resulting in Hollywood movie makers competing with one another. The result is that, instead of Hollywood movies being censored to a certain degree to be shown in China at all. Hollywood movie makers are competing with one another to create ever more ridiculous Chinese friendly movies. They are no longer making subtle changes, or altering bits of their movies in order to have their movie shown in China. They are going far beyond the line in order to please the Communist party, so that other movie makers that only make the minimal changes falls bellow the quota. It is really quite genius as far as propaganda goes.
Thus is the failure of capitalism in the US. Remember allied nations if you do not want to be conquered or influenced by a foreign power; always vet your immigrants, limit or monitor foreign media streaming into your country, and regulate your market place to ensure fair trade and jobs for your citizens.
Andre J Its quite embarassing and humiliating. Having hollywood studios acting like cheap desperate crackheads for a little bit of drug. "Just toss them a bit of money and they will bend over and say thank you" There is more markets besides china, just make good movies and people will watch them.
Well, Hong Kong is part of mainland China these days, and if the ex-Beijing Opera star wants face time at the movies, he knows what they require from "artists of the state."
hollywood should make a film about a bunch of Tibetan monks infiltrating CCP hq and blowing it up while Xi Jingping is delivering a speech! That would be awesome!
+Run Platypus What about movie about the US aid to Tibetan refugee a touching plot with helps through setting shelters and food supplies in India while ignoring to aid on lack of bathroom facilities and sanitation issue because have not being seen a card for political plans .
Rapid Fire, from 1992, starring Brandon Lee, started with his character's dad being killed in the Tiananmen Square Massacre, or as it's known in China, 'the what?'
Reminds me of that awful remake of Red Dawn a few years back. At first, China was going to replace the Soviet Union as the invaders, but the movie studios were so worried that the movie would be banned in China that they substituted North Korea as the villain. The idea of an impoverished, minor power like NK invading the US was preposterous and the movie flopped.
No wonder many movies of Hollywood now a days are getting low graded(not all) like the movie The Wall....by the way love from India and I am a Tibetan living in India
tenzin tsenpey and those who all claim that Indians threaten Tibetans or north easterns listen, they do so cuz they kind of feel threatened and uneasy when a people who look like Chinese in their way due to the bitter relationship between both countries otherwise Indian people are the best to be with. I live in mumbai and one day I also met with a same situation while traveling in train. At that time my Indian friends whom I was travelling with came to my defence and even the man who threatened me apologized after knowing that I was a Tibetan
"Karate Kid"... More like "Kung Fu Drunk"... I hate that new version of the movie. I prefer the original. Please, stop using The Rock in movies... He's becoming the Nicolas Cage of this era.
The Rock is too blandly charming to ever be a Nicolas Cage. Cage has some much higher highs than the Rock, and a great many incredible lows that the Rock isn't capable of either. Perhaps most importantly, Cage has some performances where it's impossible to tell whether he's a genius or a hack because it's just so out-there. The Rock isn't capable of any of that. He just chugs along being a decent actor who exudes blandly pleasant charisma.
This censorship doesn't seem that bad by Hollywood standards. Apparently you can be black balled for complaining about pedophilia and sexual assault. Unless of course 40 other people come out at the same time and say the same thing.
Starts writing a movie script about a group of armed anti-communist Chinese rebels storm a secret facility to save hundreds of imprisoned political dissidents, Uighurs, Tibetans, house Christians and Falun Gong practitioners from being murdered and having their organs harvested for profit. Guns blazing with lots of CCP and PLA goons dying, in Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez style of action and violence. It'll be an indie film and funded by Kickstarter. Screw Hollywood for bending over backwards to the CCP. Edit: Forgot to add house Christians.
Uh... what the heck? Pu Yi didn't die during the Cultural Revolution, he was later returned to the hands of the CCP and became a member of some social improvement committee after some propaganda exposure. As a matter of fact, members of the last imperial family still remain alive - they're just... normal people now.
Yeah, according to Wikipedia, " Puyi spent ten years in the Fushun War Criminals Management Centre in Liaoning province until he was declared reformed" and "Puyi had the job of sweeping the streets, and got lost on his first day of work, which led him to tell astonished passers-by: 'I'm Puyi, the last Emperor of the Qing dynasty. I'm staying with relatives and can't find my way home'."
Bass cannon Jake - It is very shocking to see how many of these CCP trolls here, obviously brainwashed, or knew the truth but still supporting the evil regime! They are living in their delusion world and soon the bubbles will burst soon. I have recently signed up twitters and surprised that so many CCP trolls are now moving outside China seeking to censor Western media too.
A Artisan - Hong Kong is going to return to China not CCP! Hong Kong people do not want to be under CCP evil regime. If CCP is violating basic human rights of Hong Kong people, then the people have every right to protect their rights independent from CCP. So get your head right first before barking.
Bass cannon Jake - Hong Kong people originally run away from CCP regime back, so why would HK people want to get back to CCP?! Hong Kong people will fight till the end. I used to against independent of HK, but more and more I realise yo cannot talk anything sensible and reasonable with CCP people, so the only way to protect Hong Kong people is independency. Unless China is no longer run by CCP and becoming democratic, otherwise, I don't think HK people want to be part of this evil CCP regime.
I was severely disappointing to see the movie didn't make it's backing and I hope that you will bring it up again. Your channel has grown since this aired and people have become much more aware of the CCP insidious activities.
While I knew about CCP control over - and beyond- Hollywood into the US, Canada, and Europe, I didn't know about the Kickstarter campaign mentioned at the end to make a truly independent film about HK. I've now contributed.
Chinese last emperor died of stomach complications. he was even allowed to write book which was known all over the world. but yes cultural revolution effected his easy going relation with Mao the very person who protected and encourage him write books on his life.
I actually think the Chinese would like The Sand Pebbles. It's an anti-war movie that uses 1920s China as an allegory for 1960s Vietnam and is meant to show the futility of the very American "imperialism" they hate. But, that requires an understanding of nuance.
Year of the Dragon was based off of what happened in San Francisco and the violence in Chinatown. Even though some think it's fiction, the base of the story was on true events at that time. San Francisco did a major crackdown because of the violence.
Mon P. One of the first movies to have actual Chinese actors in starring and supporting roles instead of white people in yellow face. But Chinese censorship rules forbids movies depicting magic or the supernatural in a positive way.
Seven Years in Tibet is a near masterpiece and it shouldn't get remade. Even if they were given the freedom to make it in Tibet, I still would say they shouldn't. The crazy amount of work they did to recreate the film half a world away from Tibet, plus having nearly every good Asian actor of the 1990s, is part of the appeal of the film. If Hollywood remade it today, they'd just turn it into a Crouching Tiger clone and probably make Tenzin Gyatso the villain. Also, NEVER remake Shangai Noon or Balls of Steel Hollywood. DON'T DO IT!
Technically China was the first county using gunboat diplomacy, even we don't like to speak about it. Admiral Zhenghe opened fire to several cities ( in Yemen, somalia, ceylan, Java ) when they refuse to open their port to China fleet which asked every kings they visited to bow and accept Chinese emperor as their emperor and asked them to offer presents as tribute to China. Which today mainland China teach to be a peaceful diplomacy and trade relation.
Tibet was a part of China in 1900. Tibet declared independence unilaterally (that means without consulting anyone else) during the Xinhai revolution. During the warlord era and the subsequent Chinese civil war, second world war, and establishment of the Chinese People's Republic, China did not have enough resources to retake Tibet. They did it when the got the chance. Imagine if Alabama just declared independence from the United States without consulting anyone else. Do you think that would be OK?
BTW: The book, THE SAND PEBBLES, by Ricard McKenna, is available off the shelf. The shiny, new copy I hold in my hands was printed by BLUEJACKET BOOKS, an arm of the Naval Institute Press, Annapolis, Maryland. The historic incident that anchors the fiction is the March 27, 1927, Nanjing Incident, when the KMT and CCP changed from comrades-in-arms to rivals.
Your thumbnail just made me realize China is probably the reason we never got the real Mandarin in Iron Man 3, which ruined the movie. That was always Iron Man's main villain in the comics.
You know what else won't be remade: Steve Martin's The Pink Panther with a murder weapon of Chinese Origin, a suspect in the Chinese delegation, and an arrested old lady that speaks Cantonese. Three Strikes, Out!
You know it's funny. I remember when the Red Dawn remake was being teased. And that it was going to be the Chinese. But the Chinese government complained saying that I think the exact quote was this. "The new American Film Red Dawn depicts an invasion of the United States conducted by the people's Liberation Army of China. Painting the Chinese military in a negative light." If I recall correctly. Now honestly if I were a Hollywood executive I would basically tell the Chinese government to screw off because there are foreign government they have no right to meddle in American movies. Yes China is the second largest box office area for American films but remember they only release like six American movies in China a year. And like 99% of American movies that don't go still end up being box office Smash Hits. So in my mind there's nothing to worry about.
When I heard the end of the Kickstarter campaign is on November 17th, I had to pledge some money immediately. I'm from the Czech Republic and it's the symbolic date we got rid of the communist rule, so called Velvet Revolution, and our national holiday.
This is all very detrimental because Hollywood is so creatively stagnant that they have no choice but to remake movies already written. So taking anything off the table hurts.
The real sad thing. The really sad thing is that because of how political anything chinese is a novel war movie idea I had would never be possible. If the communists didn't shoot it down Americans would call it communist propaganda (wrongly.) It would be novel and interesting to see a movie titled "stand at shanghai" or something, about how Cheng kai shek knew Shanghai had to be defended from Japanese invaders as a symbol of resistance, but knew that keeping the city was simply not going to happen. So instead of sending his crack german trained troops, he sent his dregs to die. The dregs wound up fighting harder then anyone could have imagined. Essentially the movie is a "Chinese alamo" that really could be quite good and it is a true underdog story.
I'm sad about Jackie... but I really like the list of movies here. The Last Emperor was an awesome film... Big Trouble in Little China was great... It'd be a great idea to pull a lot of these movies together to have some sort of film festival.
How about the film "Nineteen Eighty-four"? Btw it is strange that ALL I posted comments said that CCP produced Sino-Japan war TV programs are equal to 2" Hate in "Nineteen Eighty-four" are ALL disappeared !!
well, that didn't turnout so well. Narrative Film Hong Kong, Hong Kong $7,841 pledged of $64,509 goal 112 backers Funding Unsuccessful The project's funding goal was not reached on Sat, November 18 2017 8:53 PM AWST

You do God’s work.
Thank you.
That's why Commifornia Uncensored channel doesn't exist...
hokiepokie yeah try living in California lol not to gate keep or anything but it really does suck
Big Trouble in Little China, was an awesome movie and does not need a remake.
Remakes are overrated. The remak of the Early 2000s the Mummy was terrible. So terrible I did not even bother to watch it.
Agreed!
Hydrogen One
If any movie deserves a remake big trouble little China does
That was one of the best movies. Kurt Russell was great especially when he had red lips.
A great movie which I watcjed yesterday

It is really quite genius as far as propaganda goes.
Just make sure your video is not used to cover up the wrong doings of any prominent democrats.
Thus is the failure of capitalism in the US. Remember allied nations if you do not want to be conquered or influenced by a foreign power; always vet your immigrants, limit or monitor foreign media streaming into your country, and regulate your market place to ensure fair trade and jobs for your citizens.

There is more markets besides china, just make good movies and people will watch them.
I am always a bit angry at Jackie Chan to hear He supports the Beijing government, and involved himself in their propaganda and soft power play.
Judokast36 Yeah, I used to admire him... now I know he is just another corrupted guy. :(
Judokast36
Yet you are fine with US actors supporting the US? How is this any different?
Well, Hong Kong is part of mainland China these days, and if the ex-Beijing Opera star wants face time at the movies, he knows what they require from "artists of the state."

That would be awesome!
Run Platypus riveting Buddhists doing jihad???
Please
They can, but good luck ever getting a single film into the Chinese market. You are only saying this cos your are not the one that loses the money.
Run Platypus so you want Tibetan commando monks? hmm I like it can it co star the guys from all 3 Expendables movies?
What about the movie " big trouble in little China " ?

There was no real reason to change it in post production since still was banned
Yeah, great input Ricardo.
😀😁😂🤣😃😄😅😂🤣😆😉
Thanks. I'll added to my must-watch-summer-list (I live in the south n is summer :)
The movie title should be The Last Days of Communist China.
last of the fucking shit western, 不谢
CCP not like to show real face of Party Only want to see Propaganda about how great the Party is
If you are concerned about Chinese propaganda and what it might foretell, you might want to read Peter Navarro's Crouching Tiger.
Crouching Tiger are all lies and bull shits！
No wonder many movies of Hollywood now a days are getting low graded(not all) like the movie The Wall....by the way love from India and I am a Tibetan living in India

Whoa thanks for giving me my movie list for November.
1:30 Jackie Chan would be a great Communist Party official.
😁
The Sand Pebbles is a good movie. It was partly filmed here in Taiwan in a place called Tamsui. Great area to visit these days.
Easily one of my favorites! Every Sailor needs to read the book, or at the very least watch the movie.
We need a Russia uncensored.
No wait, Saudi Arabia uncensored.
No wait , Turkey uncensored .
@Engmac, and a UN uncensored.
The EU uncensored.
Bandy I think EU uncensored is Sargon of Akkad.
This censorship doesn't seem that bad by Hollywood standards. Apparently you can be black balled for complaining about pedophilia and sexual assault. Unless of course 40 other people come out at the same time and say the same thing.
JAPAN COUNTRY MAKE BEST SCARE MOVIE, TAIWAN COUNTRY MAKE VERY GREAT MOVIE TOO.
...
Thanks Chris and team. It was one of your best episodes in a long time. Keep up the good work :)
I am under 30 and the sand pebbles is one of my favorite movies.
Read the book (600 pages) currently in reprint by BLUEJACKET BOOKS.
Hollywood sold out
7 years in Tibet was based on the book with the same name
Ok ...
Jim Moss 🆗
The last days of hong kong would sadly be very appropriate for these days. Sadly it's happening in 2020 and not 2047.
It never struck me why it is Karate Kid when they were doing kungfu..till now
Hollywood is weak and pathetic. We should make movies with story and heart and NOT kiss up to anyone.
It should be about the art!
"12 different batman movies" got to be the most absurd statement I've heard considering there are way more

lol why are y'all focusing so much on that one point?
that's pretty cool?
+Orange Peel Maybe bc its not correct in the video
"Year of the Dragon" is one of the best movies I have ever seen, it is somehow like Bladerunner but with Chinese instead of Replicants.

Sorry the funding drive didn't go so well, Chris.
And this is why I'm making video games instead of movies.
Big Trouble in Little China should never be remade because you can't put that much awesome in a movie twice.
There was a China Matters ad before this video....THEY ARE COMING FOR YOUUUUUUU
a pro-chinese ad before this video? Daaamn!
John Wayne classic Blood Ally definitely a non starter
Actually the fact Hollywood is not considering remakes of these films is a credit to them. Since almost everything they make is a remake.
You know it's funny. I remember when the Red Dawn remake was being teased. And that it was going to be the Chinese. But the Chinese government complained saying that I think the exact quote was this.

Not just for them but for us the audience

You forgot about The Golden Child (1986) Eddie Murphy. Tibetan boy, the mystical Golden Child is kidnapped. No way they would remake it now.
I would really like to see that movie made. If not, a film, perhaps a graphic novel?
This is all very detrimental because Hollywood is so creatively stagnant that they have no choice but to remake movies already written. So taking anything off the table hurts.
I was sure The Manchurian Candidate would be on the list.
I don’t see The Last Days of Hong Kong on Netflix or Amazon. Did it get made?
Thanks for the list of potential time fillers. I’ve seen a few, but not nearly all.
That thumbnail gives you piles😂😂
The golden child. That'd be a KICK ass remake.
The movie that was the most made for the Chinese movie market was Transformers Edge of Extinction.
Dude, have you ever seen a chinese smiling/laughing/getting your joke? And you are expecting the sense of humor in them? Well good luck lol XD
The real sad thing. The really sad thing is that because of how political anything chinese is a novel war movie idea I had would never be possible. If the communists didn't shoot it down Americans would call it communist propaganda (wrongly.)

I wanna see you do Kung Fu! What style do you do?
Doesn’t Hollywood know that Chinese don’t pay to watch movies? Bethesda knows this in their fallout games.
other remakes not coming.... Green Berets, The Good Earth, Vietnam War movies, Korean War movies, The Conqueror and Dragon Seed.
I'm a bit dyslexic & thought the title of the movie at the end was called "the last days of King Kong"
Love Big Trouble In Little China classic
0:51
Nope... Largest
The kickstarter needs to add $5 and $10 options.
Flash Gordon. Although it takes place on the planet Mongo, the main villain is Ming The Merciless.
Checked the kickstarter and it was unsuccessful. Damn. Would've been a good time to watch it if the movie was out.
