…Any movie produced in any country is highly likely to include actors from that country. How is this supposed to be noteworthy? ---

> [@Loggins](#): > > Any chinese produced movie MUST have at least one chinese actor (good or bad). GASP! By any chance do your remember Superman the Movie from 1978? It was produced by Alexander Salkind, a Polish-born Russian who lived in France, and featured such notables as Trevor Howard, Maria Schell, Terrance Stamp, Susanah York, and Sarah Douglas. Salkind’s son, Ilya, produced 1973’s the Three Musketeers, which starred Oliver Reed, Micahel York, and Christopher Lee. Clearly those damn Europeans took over American movies! The industry never recovered. ---

> [@Kent\_Clark](#): > > Terrance Stamp Terence Stamp was in the far superior _Superman II_, Mr. Clark. It was superior because of Stamp as General Zod. I will note, that the Superman films are another example of this trend the OP is talking about, as they are Kryptonian and must feature at least one Kryptonian character. That is simply outrageous! ---

> [@epbrown](#): > > He’s in the **opening scene** of _Superman: The Movie,_ being sentenced to the Phantom Zone by Joe-El. Oh man, that scene freaked me right out. I was young and knew nothing about Superman except the names of some characters. Looking at that spectacle on the big screen is a cherished, forever movie memory. Thanks for reminding me. ---

First of all, China is our rival, not our enemy. There’s a big difference. Second, even if China were our enemy, how is it at all relevant that Chinese movies have Chinese actors in them? ---

> [@DCnDC](#): > > provocive You aren’t kidding, there is no povocive like the old provocive. The provocive back in the early 2000s was the best. Because it was all imported from China and Albania. Personally, I found the Albanian provocive to be more thoughtful and heartfelt. The chinese provocive was just too amercanized. But Your mileage may vary. ---
