CANNES Q and A: 'Wu Xia' Director Peter Ho-sun Chan (THR)
But as I always say to my director friends, you haven’t worked in Hollywood, the censorship there is even trickier. The only difference being the censorship in Hollywood is not imposed by the state authorities but the studios. The studio bureaucracy is much more troublesome than the Chinese bureaucracy. At the end of the day if you know all the rules about censorship and you try to work around the rules, then theoretically it won’t be that difficult to deal with. Every place has its own rules. Hollywood has its rules, which are business rules, and principles that are fuzzier.

The Singaporean effort is produced by multiple award-winning producer Eric Khoo and is directed by Gilbert Chan, who preciously worked on "Love Matters" with Jack Neo.
Yuen's latest effort will see him dabbling in films once again to strike gold with "Petaling Street Warrior", the first ever Kung Fu comedy film to be shot and produced completely in Malaysia.
"Petaling Street Warrior" takes the setting in 1908, where a Hokkien mee seller named See has to face continuous extortions from the colonial police and Chinese gangs in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur while having a troubled (and sex-less) marriage to his wife, Zhung.
