It's yellow, it's violent, it's disgusting, but it's also cool

It's a pornographic, violent, disgusting movie, but it's also cool.
Very yellow, very violent: Needless to say, right? The incomparably fiery shootout, filled with corpses and blood throughout the film, and naked women and their corpses that appeared from time to time, made the moviegoers bloody.
Disgusting: I'm not talking about the flesh-and-blood shots, or the naked women appearing in the movies every 5 minutes, as a normal male living in the modern world, I don't hate any of that, no doubt about it Yes I still like it very much. What I disgust is the distorted depiction of all races except white people in the movie, the blacks, Hispanics, and Chinese in the movie are almost without exception crazy and perverted gangsters. What I'm trying to say is that "gangster" isn't what I hate, "crazy and perverted" is. Of course, I'm Chinese, and what I care most about is this kind of depiction of Chinese people, look at the thousand-year-old demon-like gang leader Poon Dong played by David Carradine, it's really more fussy, how fussy, and more Obscene, how obscene, how disgusting, how disgusting. Looking at Bai Ling's role in the movie again, that's all I can call her - "bitch". (Although I really don't want to curse) Only the Johnny Vang played by Art Hsu is not normal, but he is a qualified actor, especially when the rival gang forces him to eat sushi, his line "I'm not Japanese, I'm Chinese. I don't eat disgusting food like sushi." It is the only positive description of Chinese people in the film.
Cool: Of course movies have a cool side too. For example, the idea of ​​the male protagonist needing to keep charging to maintain his life, such as the scene of the male protagonist and the female protagonist having sex in front of thousands of people at the racetrack, such as the affectionate kiss between the male protagonist and Bai Ling at the end of the film, (and The heroine?)
But alas, these very pornographic, violent, and cool shots in the movie didn't dispel my general feeling that the movie was gross.
