Title: Detective Dee and the Phantom Flame Post by: Khaldun on September 02, 2011, 05:00:25 PM http://releasing.indomina.com/detective-dee/2011/7/25/detective-dee-trailer.html
WHY THE FUCK doesn't this have a semi-wide US opening. I want to see it now, not wait until late September. Title: Re: Detective Dee and the Phantom Flame Post by: Tale on September 02, 2011, 05:32:42 PM I saw this about a year ago in Australia. It's a visual feast which makes it worth seeing, but the storytelling is incoherent and jumps around between major scenes, with the sudden introduction of key new characters and assumed knowledge (it's a well-known story in China).
The subtitles at the cinema I attended were hilarious. One character's name is Donkey Wang, which had the teenagers present (and me) laughing all the time. And there's a conversation where one character asks about an underground location "what's it like in there?" and the reply subtitle says "It's a spooky pandemonium."

I'd have to hop a flight to Minneapolis if i want to see it on the big screen, though.
