This is a really great Promo from the Fox Movie Group. Can someone list the references to the movies shown in this video?
Though I like Chinese movies, I don’t have the time to watch or find unknown movies until I see them referred to in parodies or other derivative work.
Also: I could be wrong but I think the teacher actually floored a student in this video.
Apart from the obvious (Freddy Mercury / Queen and Predator) I’m afraid I can only help with the girl with the sword: “Alita: Battle Angel” and of course the cooking guy is from “Dragon Ball”
Here are some of the movie references I think I’ve found (I may be wrong on some though) :
- Predator
- God of Cookery
- Goku: dragonball
- Infernal affairs
- Alita: Battleangel
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- Big Brother (Cantonese title: Dai Si Hing)
- Harry Potter??
- You don’t mess with the Zohan
- Can’t recollect what movie that bathtub scene is from…
Thank you Spring Onion.
I’m kinda disapointed that they were not all Asia movies. I have a thing for Asian teachers carrying swords.
Seriously, back in the day before we had kids and TV channels had subtitles, I was pretty much into the campy Hong Kong/Taiwanese movies. Now, I’ve been getting into them again by watching Chanel 61 while working out in the gym which is where I saw this commercial.

Correction: Just realized Donnie Yen’s Ip Man is incorrect…the classroom movie reference should actually be Big Brother [Dai si hing (original title)]—> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7336572/

Thanks, it’s definitely going on my watch list. My kind of movie. Will take other suggestions.
My all time favorite right now is Zone Pro Site. I’m seeking to revisit a series of cold war set movies that was popular ten to fifteen years ago staring a cute fat bald Taiwanese kid.
