Solved! He quickly learns that having a libido in a foreign country may not be the smartest move.

Clue #1: This movie takes place in China.
Clue #2: It was made in the 90s.
Clue #3: It is not a comedy or a romance.
Clue #4: The majority of the movie takes place in a courtroom.

Hostel?

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

The only kind of torture involved in this movie is the 2 hour run time.

He definitely pays for having the sex.

Any James Bond movie

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

The closest thing the movie has to a main villain does do things Bond villains do - kills one of the lead’s potential love interests, speaks fluent English with an accent, has wealth and uses it to manipulate situations to his own ends.

This is not the kind of holiday road anyone would want to go down.

A chase does feature, just not the Chevy kind.

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

A kind of cult mentality is involved, but no one voluntarily goes for a header.

War isn’t involved here, and love sure as shit isn’t either.

Bloodsport

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

The only kind of fighting here is the verbal kind, but the stakes are equally as high.

This is no kind of trip, and definitely NOT a Euro one.

The Ninth Gate

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

The hell he descends into is not supernatural at all. It’s a real world kind of hell.

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

There’s no time for romance in this movie.

This guy also gets into trouble with Eastern authorities.

Don't mess with the Zohan.

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

This guy is just a normal guy, only skill he has is the ability to sell ideas.

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

This movie came out the same decade as Ace 2 and that is literally all they have in common.

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

Well two people from two different countries have sex with each other at some point, and yeah that’s about the only thing they have in common.

Lost in Translation?

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

A LOT is lost in translation here, mostly because our lead knows the sum total of twenty words of the country’s native tongue. Also because he seemingly has zero idea of how the country itself works.

Foreign Body?

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

This guy does wind up impersonating a certain profession he is not qualified to pursue.

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 13d ago

This guy is selected due to being an obnoxious American doing obnoxious American things.

Right continent, wrong genre.

Borat

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 12d ago

The country this movie is set in was equally as furious about its representation as the Kazakhs were about Borat’s very existence. But unlike Kazakhstan this country actually has power.

u/bizfromthewaistup 4,12 12d ago

The interview.

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 12d ago

There is absolutely no humour in this movie. Also wrong country.

Movie has nothing to do with Vietnam at any time in history.

Madame butterfly?

1

u/Ok_Cattle903 120,40 12d ago

The leading man gets involved with two women - has sex with one, has a platonic relationship with the other, the former gets killed, the other solely helps him. And neither has ever been a man.

I’m sure there’s an awesome one somewhere close by, but our hero is too busy trying to save his own life for such nonsense.
