Gordon Liu Goes To Bollywood!  It’s The Trailer For CHANDNI CHOWK GOES TO CHINA!

Oh my, does this ever look fun.  Nikhil Advani’s Chandni Chowk Goes To China is notable on a few levels.  First, the film marks the first time Warner Brothers have ever produced an Indian film.  Second, many are speculating that the film is based, at least in part, on actor Akshay Kumar’s own experiences as a cook before making it big in film.  But just how ‘based on’ it really is is certainly up for debate because this picture is a country hopping spectacle revolving around a cook mistaken for a martial arts master who ends up in China with a real martial arts master, played by the legendary Gordon Liu.

Yes, boys and girls, Gordon Liu is in a full on song and dance Bollywood extravaganza and it looks like a blast.  It looks to blend equal parts Bollywood and Hong Kong influences and for some reason I can’t quite get Stephen Chow’s Kung Fu Hustle out of my head while watching the teaser.  And speaking of which, you can check out that teaser below the break in the Twitch Player.

    Sorry, but putting Stephen Cbow’s name and Kung Fu Hustle in the same comments with the word Bollywood or comparing them in any form, would be to me a slap in the face for Stephen and Kung Fu Hustle.

    ...and as I said above, Sorry.

    I bet Stephen Chow would take exception to that remark.

    PS - hope this turns out better than KRISHH, the Bollywood movie that Ching Siu-tung worked on.  Oh Christ, that was awful.  Working with Uwe Boll was a step up.

    Gordon told about this one. He said it was pretty much fun to shoot.
    I’m not really into Bollywood movies, but Gordon alone is the reason to see this.
