   I don`t like the idea of this project.

   I hope he’s Tubbs. Then maybe he’ll beat the hell out of the pastel-wearing mofo, Crockett.

   I think people in Hong Kong have just as much of a right to watch a crappy remake as we do.

   C’mon, you know you want Andrew Lau on board for this one in the directing dept. for a bit of remake karma.

   This is Hong Kong’s revenge for Hollywood remaking a bunch of HK films. I predict the next remake to be Twins starring Andy Lau (in his Running from Karma muscle suit) as Arnold and Sammo Hung as Danny DeVito. :p

   I don’t get why you guys automatically think this is a bad thing.

   I dont think Tood is thinking about this in the right way,
   But I do think crazybee is.............

   If Donnie is the star, then damn, it should be good and have some damn good fights in it. Thats the way I see it. And who gives a shit if its a take off on Miami Vice.
   I dont care if Donnie makes a dozen remakes of american movies, they would probbly be better than the orig and they would all kick-ass I’m sure.

   Hong Kong with a vengeance towards hollywood, me likes it. Mind you, this HK Vice is almost a safe stinker, but at least i’m hoping to see some good ass kicking from Yen.

   IF it’s true, I doubt he’d be Crockett or Tubbs. Hahaha.

   How could this in any way be like Miami Vice in Hong Kong? But it could be a good, gritty vice cop movie. Kind of repetitive for Donnie, but not without possibilities if he’s teamed up with the right co-star.

   The movie is made in the U.S.A. with English Lang, and will prob take place in Florida, and I would say in Miami.

   Even tho it is made in the U.S. Andrew Lau is the director, Donnie is the star, so I’m guessing that it will turn out to be a good action flick.

    It hasn’t even been confirmed. What’s this ‘it’ll be filmed in Miami’ stuff?

    I very much doubt that.

    These are some of the fruits of the Weinstein Company’s Asian Film Fund project - specifically the teaming of 24 producer Tony Krantz and INFERNAL AFFAIRS (co)director Andrew Lau for three English-language Hong Kong action movies: QI - HONG KONG VICE, QI - HONEYMOON IN THAILAND and QI - INTERPOL.

    (Because English-language Hong Kong action movies always turn out so well.)

12. ASIAN FLIX 01/20/2008 @ 7:29pm

    Well if the Weinsteins have their hands on it then it may not be a sure thin even if Lau is director and Yen is star…

    And for Rhythm-X, a big correction on your statement…
    ‘(Because English-language Hong Kong action movies always turn out so well.)’
    Most all English Lang Hong Kong movies (or any Asian English Lang movie) in general do not turn out very well at all. Not in quality or in sales.

    I think R-X was being sarcastic.

    Ugh, Weinsteins. I don’t min if they get ahold of a Donnie film ‘after’ it’s been made, and I’ve gotten the HK version, but…

    I guess I’ll have to wait and see if this thing happens before I get my panties bunched about the Weinsteins. Donnie’s got two films coming up when Painted Skin wraps.
