What are some good English language movies set in the Far East?

I really like Empire Of The Sun & Platoon- they are quite old now.

I watched Battle For Haditha yonks ago. It was pretty good and I think most of the dialogue is English, I can't remember sorry. It's a war film.

@GeistInTheMachine Lol thanks. It's from the 90's.

@Matt85 Ah! I just thought it was a typo. That's cool. My favorite decade. I was born '91.

@JamieYahoo the dvd is on amazon ,$18.00 bucks though
Empire of The Sun was incredible -- Stadium scene, Nagasaki bombing:
"Mrs. Victor..."
And later:
"It was like a white light in the sky, like God taking a photograph, I saw it"

Heaven and Earth

Good Morning, Vietnam

The Killing Field

Indochine

The Last Samurai

@SethGreene531 Not seen Good Morning Vietnam as yet, so today I tried to buy it and nobody stocks it in the British city I come from, and it is not available on BlueRay ! Such a famous movie .
@JamieYahoo Robins slapstick, thinly veils the poignant realities of a beleaguered
conflict. It really is a good watch.


Good Morning, Vietnam is available to stream in the United Kingdom now on Disney+ and Google Play and YouTube and Microsoft.

Technically, Platoon takes place in Vietnam, which is apart of South East Asia.
So are you looking for movies set in Asian countries in general, or the actual Far East?

Kumandante Liwayway. She was a guerilla in occupied Philippines. The Japanese were terrified of her. Lesson: don't piss off a Filipina!
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
@Crazywaterspring If you were terrifying the Imperial Japanese, you were doing something right!
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
@GeistInTheMachine She survived the war despite a huge bounty they put on her. Last time I looked up "badass" in the dictionary her picture was there. The Japanese killed her father in front of his family. Liwayway took his murder very personally.

@Crazywaterspring Filipinas love their families.
