What is the name of that palace in the second movie? You know, the one with eye soup, live baby snakes fresh from the source and, my favorite, CHILLED MONKEY BRAINS!</font>
Tongue in cheek Hollywood humor, not meant to be taken seriously. Spielberg's worst film till date. THe film was banned in India for some time for "insulting" stereotypes that it attempts to create.
The film takes place in the forties, if I remember correctly, and the CHinese kid is shown wearing a Mets cap. Shows how "thorough" the research is...
