neutral · AI labelView post →Many years ago, when I only knew him as the guy from the Omen, I saw the movie Sleeping Dogs (1979). Set in an alternative New Zealand, it was an amazing story of a country teetering on dictatorship that was using fighter jets to missile attack its own people.

neutral · AI labelView post →I just had the biggest high followed by a letdown followed by another letdown. 1) Sees Sleeping Dogs trailer. Screams with glee. 2) Sees Simu Liu listed as lead. Meh. 3) Realizes it is an AI "trailer." Now I'm high-key annoyed. 4) Possibility of a Sleeping Dogs movie with different lead? Hope?
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched 'Sleeping Dogs' (1977) on TVNZ+. Spent the whole film worrying about the poor dog left all by herself on the island. Also I completely failed to suspend disbelief enough to buy that the resistance would be so overwhelmingly pākehā.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hearing the news that the Sleeping Dogs film has been cancelled reminded me that I actually talked about that proposed adaptation almost seven years ago now, and why you probably wouldn't have wanted it anyway. Always had a soft spot for this video. Sleeping Dogs is one of the best games ever made.

neutral · AI labelView post →Y'all, Sleeping Dogs (the game) was my ****. I would love a movie. But Liu does not do it for me as that kind of lead. He's Anthony Mackie in a different font. Does that make sense? It's the best way to explain it. Sorry.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's always strange when talk of this keeps coming up. Sleeping Dogs isn't some kind of franchise, it's a single game that did okay and never got a sequel. I guess Hollywood can only make a kung fu movie if it has some IP attached. Even if the IP is completely worthless.
negative · AI labelView post →in a slightly better universe nobody would've ever suggested a Sleeping Dogs movie and by now we instead got like five more barely related video games that each rip off a slightly different slice of HK action cinema

negative · AI labelView post →So Sleeping Dogs movie is gonna happen after all since Simu Liu stepped in to push for it. Speaking of that,People forget that Sleeping Dogs was made by the same developers of the True Crimes games. We seriously need a remake/remaster of those games. Sleeping Dogs game however just needs a sequel.
neutral · AI labelView post →For anyone disappointed, just watch Yen’s “Flashpoint.” Movie is very similar to Sleeping Dogs in terms of grittiness.

neutral · AI labelView post →The very first time I saw a New Zealand movie in the theater. Sleeping Dogs, featuring a young actor called Sam Neil. He showed promise.
positive · AI labelView post →The problem with watching any HK movie from the late 1990s is that I want to do a full replay of SLEEPING DOGS. I mean, it's not much of a problem, really.
positive · AI labelView post →A week or so ago I looked for Sleeping Dogs (1977) to see if I could recommend it for #FrightClub, but couldn't find it on the streamers. SN's first film, made in New Zealand, about a fascist takeover in which his character unwittingly gets caught up in the resistance www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvuV...
neutral · AI labelView post →If you all want to see Actual Young Sam Neill, in an anti-fascist movie about American dipshits (including Warren Oates) occupying Aotearoa, watch the 1977 NZ classic SLEEPING DOGS as soon as you can! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvuV...
positive · AI labelView post →Sleeping Dogs was a fun game, but I'm not sure about it being made into a movie especially since it's been 13 years since the game came out.
neutral · AI labelView post →My first Sam Neill film was "Sleeping Dogs" (1977). Narration in this trailer is so overdone but much of the film still holds up and Sam is a gem. 😍 youtu.be/DTzoQYpKkZA
positive · AI labelView post →The Sleeping Dogs game was basically Hong Kong action movie: the game, and it had a really great story. Also the only entertainment product to feature the talents of both Emma Stone AND Conan Lee!
positive · AI labelView post →Sleeping Dogs should have been a franchise. I hope this movie does well and forces that reality.
positive · AI labelView post →Unsurprising; this game came out forever ago, nothing about this movie has been heard for years. I love Donnie Yen and this game, but also undercover cop Triad movies probably already exist so shrug. However, this post calling it "Sleepy Dogs" instead of Sleeping Dogs is absolutely hilarious to me.
