But, l should add, the whole point of this particular list is films about white people out of their depth in developing counties or whatever we call them now.

A lot of the films on my list are about women, but fair point. I know there are some HK films about guys in trouble in Thailand & there must be others, but l don’t know details.

Nice one, I didn't know this film, and Ben Gazarra is always ace.

Happy to see the film is on YouTube: youtu.be/A9R-AgxeQMg?...
