A lousy film that lusts after China

A film about China, incompetent French people regard American sabotage as a weak old man who saves the world, claiming to be able to wipe out a billion Chinese people, the film is full of unpalatable Chinese food, crappy Chinese kung fu, and models showing clothes Shelves and Chinese vases containing drugs. In addition to the chaotic shooting, the most meaningful part of the whole film is the French people's helplessness and inner resistance to the economic revitalization of Asia and China. Other than that, it's a really bad movie.

Caroline: [putting her arms around Reese] So, what are we eating for dinner?
James Reece: Whoa whoa, Wait a second. Isn't it part of French tradition that the woman cooks while the guy watches TV?
Caroline: Well, things have changed since the Middle Ages, you know. Now it's exactly the contrary.
James Reece: Why don't we skip dinner altogether and go straight to dessert?
Caroline: Is that all you can think about?
James Reece: Every second of the day.
