Hello there, just to say I am the guy who played the HK cop and I find the review and responses really funny. I am from the UK and I enjoyed the week in November filming the HK scenes in Central.

Yes I agree with “V”, this is actually very funny. And hey, if they need any more Asian policefolk in the sequel, they could hire Cecilia Cheung herself — we all know she looks good in police uniform.

well not everyone in the scene spoke Mandarin, just the villain and his goons.

naturally, some Asians are pulling the “omg this film is discrimination against Chinese” card. Freaking annoying

I’d see the sequel too but only if it features Eric Tsang as The Penguin.

For a second or two, I thought the main HK cop was Nick Cheung.

I agree with MW in that EDC would have gotten more face time if “little Edison and friends” hadn’t become so infamous.

A friend of mine who saw it in a HK cinema claimed that in the HK scenes, everyone spoke Mandarin. Was that intentional, or a reason behind that? It would seem like a pretty large oversight otherwise.

I’ve seen The Dark Knight twice (second time at IMAX, first time at IMAX and totally worth it) but the first time I saw it, once I saw a blurry Edison, me and my friend turned to each other and did the DeShaun-Stevenson-my-face-is-on-fire move indicating Edison was all blur. While many in the audience pointed and laugh at the blurriness of Hong Kong’s famous banished pimp.

I’m sure his cameo was more before the scandal (or at least clearer), maybe he had a chance to pull the smile charm on Freeman too.

I think this entry is hillarious but seriously you have to watch The Dark Knight in IMAX - it was my first experience and I loved it.

When I saw ED in the movie (for just a split second) I thought my eyes was playing tricks on me! But I know it’s him and my friend didn’t even notice the security guard in suit! Your piece made me laugh, nice work dude

Actually, that is very funny. “We’re in the sequel!” I’d go see it too.
