Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - 神鬼奇航:世界的盡頭
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - 神鬼奇航:世界的盡頭 is a 2007 film starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley, and Chow Yun-Fat.
Chow plays a pirate warlord based in Singapore named Captain Sao Feng.
If you watched the previous two Pirates installments, this one is no different. The Chinese in Singapore are dirty and ugly and have no honor.
If you're Chow fan, this is not a memorable role or film. And if you're Chinese, this is not a depiction you'd like very much.
I vaguely remember that there was some controversy about the depiction of Singapore in the 18th century by the current 21st century residents. Unfortunately, a quick Google search didn't net any good results.
You can rent it on Netflix.
