Try 'Violent Cop', 'Kung Fu Hustle', 'Chinese Ghost Story', 'Eastern Condors'... actually the list of great Asian films goes on and on, I've just tried to give a spread.

I highly recommend "Attack of the Gas Station" and "My Sassy Girl" (both hilarious korean comedies).

i was surprised with Kung Fu Hustle. My bro rented it and since I did not pay to rent it, I watched...thinking "man this movie is going to SUCK." i did not like the trailers for it, thought it looked like garbage but man it was freakin hilarious! i highly recommend this movie, try to watch it with an open mind.

I saw Attack the Gas Station in a theater in LA. It's funnier if you understand that "strip word game" the guy's playing with that chick.

EDIT: If not, just pretend that every time the girl gets stumped, it's because she has to think of yet another word that has a Q in it without a U. I think that's a decent mapping.

Battle Royale is a pretty awesome movie. I bought the DVD. Not for the feint of heart though, it's extremely violent and the whole theme is disturbing. A lot of sensitive people would not be able to handle it.

I own the first thirteen volumes of the manga and they kick ass. But I have not seen the movie.
