Vision Films Inc. is releasing their mafia-kung fu parody ‘Made In Chinatown‘ from Executive Producer and Writer Mark V. Wiley and Directors Robert J. Samuels and James Lew on VOD, DVD on May 11.
The Chinatown-meets-Little-Italy comedy sensitively handles, with more commentary than spoof, the timely Asian immigrant experience, as well as racial stereotyping and labeling. With some of the most recognizable actors known for portraying mafiosos, and the talents of veritable Hong Kong Kung-Fu masters, protagonist Vinny Chow (portrayed by Jay Kwon) finds himself unwittingly caught up in two love stories – his Chinese culture and the Italian culture he emulates based on The Godfather and Goodfellas, and his fantasy [Italian] dream date and the perfect [Chinese] girl next door.
The fast-paced romp features several real Kung-Fu Masters (Lo Meng, Chiu Chi Ling, Perer Ngai, Steven Chan, Paul Sun), is choreographed by Emmy Award® winner James Lew, and a treasure trove of hidden mob movie references and quotes to delight cinephiles.
Starring Tony Darrow (Goodfellas), Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos), Raymond J. Barry (Justified), Lo Meng (Ip Man 2), Jay Kwon (The Punisher), James Lew (Marvel’s Luke Cage), Shuya Chang (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon 2), Chris Caldovino (Boardwalk Empire), Paul Borghese (The Irishman), Tony Ray Rossi (Analyze This), Geoff Lee (Revenge of the Green Dragons), Chiu Chi Ling (Kung-Fu Hustle), Shing Ka (The Manchurian Candidate), Timothy Chivalette (Glass), Fenton Li (Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens), Tak Wah Eng (Revenge of the Green Dragons), Patricia Lee Chu (Orange is the New Black), Zack Beyer (Creed 2), Theresa Moriarty (Dead Sound), Emmanuel Brown (Gotham), John Sialiano (The Wannabe), Stefano Da Fre (Pandora’s Box), Karen Tsen Lee (Law and Order: SVU), Artie Pasquale (The Sopranos), Joseph D’Onofrio (A Bronx Tale), William DeMeo (Gotti), Celia Au (Wu Assassins).
