    Default HK/Chinese movies and their repetitive names

    Is it just me getting sick of those so overused names?

    House of...
    Enter the...
    Fist of...
    ...Tiger...Dragon
    ...Rabbit...Moose

    They should switch their brains on when deciding movie names.

    You do have a point there. I am a little tired of the similar titles used. Don't forget that some movies have the same title(Those Were The Days and Hero are examples) which causes confusion for people.

    Do you kno how many HK movies are named Those Were the Days? But I blamed it on the guy that makes the decisions on the english titles since the original Chinese title is almost always completely different in meaning than what they managed to make up in english.

    True everything now for TVB is getting confusing because my friends say one thing and I think they are talking about something else so I have headaches sometimes just trying to figure it out.

    You know... Same here. And don't forget, when you sometimes confuse the years and they start talking about a totally different scene from what you remember.
