	Frank's Reel Movie Reviews -Movie Review The Sand Pebbles
		Mako is brilliant as the somewhat stereotypical depiction of a Chinese coolie, but you will recognize him as a veteran of many films, including Seven Years in Tibet, Rising Sun, the wizard in Conan the Barbarian and as a Japanese soldier in many WWII films.
		While I'm not sure of the intended message of the film, other than possibly being a reflection of what America was going through at the time, it definitely carries an anti-war sentiment that sticks a dagger straight into the heart of America's foreign policy.
		We have some of the films most touching and funny moments during this relationship between the two, as Holman quizzes and teaches Po-Han the engine's main parts.

	Solid Scope 2: Tainted Desires
		The coolie has powerful legs, the tailor is actually an effeminate man who has powerful hands, the hawker fights with bamboo sticks, and finally, the beast, who is supposedly the greatest martial arts expert in the film.
		The couple has many of the film's humorous one-liners.
		Chow also brought in actual real-life kung fu masters for the major supporting roles - Leung Siu Lung (the beast), Xing Yu (the coolie), Chiu Chi Lung (the tailor), Dong Zhi Hua (the hawker), Fung Hak on (musician #2), and Jia Kang Xi (musician #1).

	Shikari
		The film also marks the return of the Govinda-Karisma pair that set the screen on fire in films like Hero No.1, Coolie No.1 and Hero No. 1.
		The careers of N Chandra and Govinda, both of who haven’t had hits in a long time, probably depends on this film.
		The film has Chi Chi doing ‘things’ that would scare the daylights out of the audiences and give them the cold jitters.

	Movie Database - [TV Guide Online]
		The best acting in the film is done by shifty, greasy-looking Gomez and ancient Sokoloff, who plays a blind coolie spouting platitudes while running Russell and Mitchum about Macao's back streets.
		It was called MACAO, and instead of fingers in that pie, half a dozen clowns immersed various parts of their anatomy in it." Nicholas Ray was brought in to shoot some of the final scenes, especially the fist fight between Mitchum and Dexter at the end, but most of the film remains von Sternberg's.
		This was not one of von Sternberg's favorite films, but the dynamic and utterly visual director made of MACAO, with its hodgepodge script and melodramatic meanderings, an exciting film noir entry, steaming up the screen with sultry, sexy Russell and a somnambulistic Mitchum who manage to clinch often, despite their sneering disregard for each other.

	Is Corean (Korean) Cinema the New HK Cinema? Asian American Issues GoldSea
		The result has been an epic shift: the top HK talents have been reduced mostly to coolie-ing on Hollywood formulaics while HK cinema has become a parched gulch with bounding tumbleweeds and half-hinged screen doors banging forlornly with every hot gust.
		Beginning in the early 90s a hardy new generation of Corean filmmakers made themselves fixtures at the award ceremonies of Cannes, Venice and other international film festivals.
		Major studios have begun importing Shiri, Musa (co-starring Zhang Zhiyi as a Ming princess rescued by Corean swordsmen) and other Corean films for limited U.S. theatrical release and video distribution.

	Kung Fu Hustle (2004): Stephen Chow, Lam Tze Chung, Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu - PopMatters Film Review
		The tailor (Chiu Chi Ling), the coolie (Xing Yu), and baker Donut (Dong Zhi Hua, of whom the commentators note, "His stick skill is the real stuff") are all pleased to discover one another that in between battles with the bad guys, they test one another, because, of course, that's what they do: fight.
		Most delightfully, Sing's transition from boy to man, gangster-wannabe to full-on master ("The One"), occasions a speedy, entertaining, wholly convoluted and often quite brilliant shift in filmmaking, a gloriously kung-fu-movie- loving pastiche of conventions and reorientations.
		Also enlisted are the lascivious Landlord (Yuen Wah) and his money-mongering wife, the Landlady (Yuen Qiu, who describes her character as "a very fierce woman who is very tyrannical").

	The Top 50 Singles: 2000-2005 - Article - Stylus Magazine
		Easily the most cinematic single of the last five years, Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Maps” is the vivid, heartrending coda to a film punctuated with disillusionment, disappointment, and abject loneliness.
		So 2003 may have been the year of Sean Paul and the diwali and coolie rhythms, but one of the best dancehall tracks from the 00s was perhaps too subtle to make a huge imprint on the American charts.
		But while trends and revivals are coming and going faster than ever, the best singles of the past five years have made us all do the same things: laugh, cry, dance, think, and sing-along.
