    A fun film with something for everyone

    This movie is a true family film that can appeal to so many tastes and interests, e.g., mafia movie buffs, martial arts fans, comedy lovers, etc. The action was really well done and the parody of the mob was hysterical! Great summer flick!

    Better than I expected

    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.

    Great Mob / Kung-fu Rom-com mashup comedy!

    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.

    Brilliant old school Kung fu meets the Mob

    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!!

    Original idea very refreshing!

    This movie is very original and has a great deal of humour, with amazing martial arts action scenes. Worth seeing again!

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The story "Made in Chinatown" was in part inspired by writer Mark V. Wiley's love of elements in four films: Le pape de Greenwich Village (1984), Les Aventures de Jack Burton dans les griffes du Mandarin (1986), Premiers pas dans la Mafia (1990), and Kiss Me, Guido (1997). This was merged with his obsession with the Shaw Bros. classic '80s kung-fu flicks, featuring Meng Lo and Feng Lu.
