Director Paul Anderson's Monster Hunter starring Milla Jovovich was pulled from a box office in China over a knee joke. This is reported by Deadline.
This is a replica of one of the heroes of the movie "Monster Hunter": "Look at my knees! What kind of knees are these? Chi-knees "(" Look at my knees? What are they? Chinese "). The phrase reminded some viewers of the old racist song “Chinese, japanese, dirty knees - look at these”.
The Chinese censors missed the episode in the rental version of the tape, but viewers immediately responded to this on social networks. Under pressure from the public, the showing of the picture was stopped.
The filmmakers had to cut a scene with a joke. Representatives of the film company Constantin Film apologized to the Chinese audience and stated that they did not want to offend or discriminate against anyone.
Recall that according to the plot, Artemis and her squad of elite fighters (TI / T. I., Megan Hood and Diego Boneta) fall into a strange sandstorm, which turns out to be a portal to another reality. This universe is inhabited by monsters that are not taken by conventional firearms. On their way, the heroes meet the Hunter, and he helps them survive in this world. However, now the heroes need not only to somehow return home, but also to prevent a potential attack of monsters on their universe.
In the trailer, they decided to focus on the monsters that the main characters deftly deal with. As you can see, the Hunter (Tony Jah) teaches Lieutenant Artemis (Milla Jovovich) to fight these monsters, because she has never encountered such enemies before. The series of spectacular action is accompanied by several funny moments and a charming scene with a charming creature at the end of the video.
In Russia, the film "Monster Hunter", an adaptation of the video game of the same name, will be released on January 14, 2021.
