Chinese people speaking perfect English! Amazing!


Why does Hollywood do crap like this? A bad script, Nicholas "I'll do anything for a paycheck" Cage's desperate presence, and an utter lack of period accuracy aside, why can't a feasible explanation be conjured up for why everyone is speaking the same language? Instead, the writers sidestep the entire issue. Because they're hacks, that's why.

The film established that both Cage and Christensen's characters had been in China for years. I interpreted it as everyone was speaking Mandarin/Cantonese, but the film just didn't wanna throw off viewers who got headaches from subtitles.
