Title: James Wong Jim (uncle Jim) Cat III films

So far I've seen Stooges in Tokyo (1991) and Stooges in Hong Kong (1992)...liked Stooges in Tokyo best. ;)

I have The Wild Goose Chase (1990) on order now.

Any other fans or recommendations?

Here's 2 short reviews I did:

Stooges in Tokyo (1991)
My first introduction to James Wong Jim or uncle Jim!
Fun Cat III sex comedy which actually has a bit of a message.

I'll never forget that a "naked hen" brings 3 years of bad luck! :up:

Just finished watching Stooges in Hong Kong (1992)...another Cat III Uncle Jim film!

A bit different than the previous one as this one doesn't follow 3 friends on a business trip but revolves around a late night adult show host and his writer.
It's filled with really bizarre goings-on on top of the silly comedy and...lots of singing!
But it's no musical! :D

I enjoyed this one but the singing was sometimes a bit much (and the songs apparently were hard to translate so I couldn't follow what they were singing about sometimes)...overall I liked Stooges in Tokyo better.

The taxi ride at the beginning is really something and a must-see though,as is Amy Yip!

I liked Stooges in HK (haven't seen Tokyo). Dragon Ball Z was horrible!

Uhm...Dragon Ball Z is from another James Wong... ;)

Well I didn't get The Wild Goose Chase (1990) because it had no cover (luckily I asked the seller) but got James Wong in Japan & Korea (1992) instead.
A movie cobbled together from footage of Stooges in Tokyo and The Wild Goose Chase! :lol:

Ordered Wild Goose Chase (1990) and will probably give that a spin before watching James Wong in Japan & Korea (1992)...should be fun to spot the recycled footage. :)

Watched The Wild Goose Chase (1990) and it's very similar to Stooges in Tokyo (1992) except that the business trip takes them to Korea.
Both fun films.
