Rename This!





Have you seen 'Super Sapiens' already? Super what, you ask? If you didn't know, the 'Hellboy' movie title was renamed for the Malaysia distribution last time when it was shown in cinemas, for some reasons which I don't know. Is the title offensive?

And for some reasons, the latest upcoming film opening in local theatres, 'Chaos' (starring Jason Statham, Ryan Philippe and Wesley Snipes) was also renamed to 'Hit & Blast' in Malaysian cinemas. It's no wonder that I can't find any information on this movie when I tried to google for 'Hit & Blast' on the net, except that it shows the GSC web site info on the movie.





It's a little confusing sometimes when they change film titles.

the reason the changing is bacuase the movie won't make money in malaysia if they retained the title "chaos" cos the word is far too above the average malay comprehension....and you know that malaysia's majority population is way bellow the average comprehension ;)

does that answer your question?

Hehe... a good one!

But 'Chaos' sounds cooler than 'Hit & Blast'. The newer title makes me think that this show is B-Grade stuff...

well my opinion on the movie, well you can you can grade B actually, the story was pretty ok but the acting ....like it misses the punch..even though snipes was in the movie, he is one good actor

but if you compare his acting in this movie with the acting he did in the movie "passenger 57" and some of his other older movies, well i'd say his acting here lacked the punch.
