   @skinnylatte That reminds me of watching an old movie that was set in Shanghai. At one point, it showed a group of Chinese men, all scared and shouting. A
   friend who knows Cantonese said, "Hey it is supposed to be in Shanghai and they are all speaking in Cantonese, which isn't used there." The director probably just told them to
   say something and figured the audience would never know.

     @bzdev there’s a famous scene from the 90s where some Korean guy is told to speak Korean on the set and he says in Korean, in a movie, these guys wanted me to say random things in Korean but they don’t understand anything so whatever
