Made in Chinatown

Back in the day New York city had two fascinating cultural phenomenon that captured the public imagination, one was Kung Fu culture brought by cats like Bruce Lee to America. The other was the new york city mob.

In Made in Chinatown you will see the intersection of these two worlds in a hilarious and touching cross over of a classic rock em sock em kungfu Flic paired with an off the wall mob story which ties together all of the major crime families active in the 70s and 80s.

If you dig Kung fu and mob comedy, you can't miss this.

I purchased a copy when it was released and have already watched it with my family several times.

Awesomesauce!!

Made in Chinatown is surprisingly good. You would think its a mob film with kung-fu, but it is so much more!! One could say it is a love story or a story of coming to terms with being an outsider. It tackles these themes while spoofing the mob and kung-fu film genres. And they got classic genre actors to do it. The surprise is how good Jay Kwon in as the lead (Vinny Chow), and amazing talent of "Lawrence" the gay black actor who is really a karate master, and the amazing Raymond Barry digging deep into his theater and film roles to pull of the silliest of lines with the straightest of face. Made in Chinatown is a fun romp that leaves you with a full heart at its conclusion.

Made in Chinatown lovingly spoofs as well as pays tribute to the "Chopsocky" Hong Kong action flicks made popular by Bruce Lee, and the endless stream of Italian Mob related movies and TV; The Godfather, Goodfellas, The Sopranos, etc This is not meant to be taken seriously, just a little fun.

Tbh I really need more of Lawrence's fabulously flamboyant kung fu. And though the acting is horrendous, the writing does make up for it. Worth a watch.

This is a really nice first film from Mark Wiley! It is an enjoyable film - funny and cute! Look for some awesome character actors! Mark's humor and passion comes through!!
