I got sucked into watching the chinese video featuring Kim Jong Un’s head pasted into a bunch of scenes of people dancing, fighting, and being general fools. However, just before the scene where’s skipping along with bin laden, there’s a pasted in face I can’t figure out. Anybody know who this guy is? Here’s the video and time frame I’m talking about (warning, video is addictively amusing): [- YouTube](http://youtu.be/HJRn-VWHtLY?t=1m31s) ---

It would help if you gave a time stamp for reference - at least for me, your link just goes to the start of the video (which is indeed fairly amusing.) ---

The link should go directly to 1:31…although by the time you’ve clicked off all the stupid-ass pop-ups, the scene is over and you have to go back to that point manually. (Sorry, no idea who the person is.) ---

(Sorry, no idea who the person is.) Ah! Second time was the charm. But sorry OP, I have no clue who that person was either. ---

So, how many clips did you recognize on the first playthrough? I was able to spot 0:48 as the dancing hamsters from a car commercial and 0:59 as Carlton from the Fresh Prince (of Bel-air) ---

I was able to spot 0:48 as the dancing hamsters from a car commercial and 0:59 as Carlton from the Fresh Prince (of Bel-air) The black and white clip of the big artillery piece firing is from Chaplin’s _Little Dictator._ There’s a scene from _Kung Fu Hustle_, with the landlady in the hair rollers. The martial arts dance was from [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wYbOix1HyA), and the karate referee going ape shit on one of the contestants is from [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9b1fzQwClI). ---

Thank you. I’ve been wondering about that scene since I first saw the video. I wonder what movie they were filming it for. ---

The video of Obama waving his legs around next to Kim in a wheelchair in a leg cast is from Mr. Bean. ---

Whoever the guy is I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be him. Seriously, Kim Jong Un is such a paranoid maniacal narcissistic egomaniac that he’s probably already had meetings regarding the pros & cons and feasibility of having the guy assassinated! As Mel Brookes put it- _“It’s good to be the king…”_ ---

That guy’s face is a bit too wide, and not pale enough. Also, the head in the Kom Jong video has a definite Asiatic cast. ---

Was able to get an answer in the comments section on Youtube. Turns out that’s Jet Li (the actor).
