Zoolander

They are going to release it in Singapore afterall. After 4 years?

I wonder why did they stop in the first place? I mean, the plot to assassinate the Malaysian Prime Minister was sensitive? The movie portrayed him as an upright person who was trying to overcome the problem of child labour abuse in his country? I suspect that the only reason is because the actor acting as the Malaysian Prime Minister, (acted by Woodrow Asai) Prime Minister Hassan was Chinese looking and wearing a mandarin samfu. I cannot find a picture of Woodrow Asai but I came across an approximate.






How does Woodrow Wilson compare to the real Malaysian Prime Minister?



Not very similar. But this movie was released a few weeks after Sep 11. So in 2001, the Malaysian Prime Minister was this other guy.






Seen here giving his audience a two-fingered salute. Yeah, up yours too!


The movie is a fantastic laugh that has generated its own set of jokes. Like Magnum, Blue Steel and such....check out the wikipedia entry on Zoolander.
