Los Angeles, Fri.
In yet another Hollywood misrepresentation of Malaysia, a new movie about the
world's most open black market, is being filmed.
Jack Moore, an American on holiday with two friends, discovered the real
pleasures of 'Fascinating Malaysia'. A land where thousands and thousands of
movies are available on VCD for only US$1.50 per title.
After stocking up their backpacks with tons of contraband VCDs, Jack was left
with the task of packing the stuff and mailing it back home. In an unexpected
plot twist, his two friends returned to the US, while Jack stayed behind to tour
the rest of Bangsar.
Unfortunately for him, the authorities raided his room at Rumah Tumpangan
Paris before the Postlaju pick-up arrived. Jack now faces the death penalty for
possession of illegal VCDs.
According to the script, a little known Malaysian law states that possession
of more than 5 pirated copies of the same movie subjects the offender to capital
punishment. An even lesser known part of the law states that Jack can escape the
gallows if his two friends return to Malaysia to 'share' the charge. Malaysian
thespian Patrick Teoh who made a career out of playing cranky judges will break
with tradition and play a sweet and lovable judge.
Another local radio personality, Steven Sum makes his feature film debut
tackling the role of Ah Fook the VCD seller. Sources close to Malaysia Roadside
confirmed that the movie is tentatively titled Return To Petaling
Street.
