gwailo ?

ohh forget it ...

you mean guy-lo ?

(ghost man)

(white people)


edit .. apparently it's spelled Gweilo..

but sounds like : gwie-low

Quote:

A Gwailo, for the uninitiated, is the Chinese term for a white foreigner, literally translating as "ghost man" or "white ghost", thereby giving Daniel O'Brien's guide the sense of being both by and for the white outsider to Hong Kong Chinese culture.

without sounding it out (i can speak and understand some cantonese is spoken slowly) i thought you were referring to some kind of asian giallo genre :D

nice idea, we could invent a phrase for asian slasher films and become famous :p

how about GiaWalo def: an italian/japanese slasher/ghost film where white people are slaughtered in inventive and sadistic ways??

The commentary is legendarily mental and must be heard.

The ending of the film is of course contrived and nonsensical, but is generally excused for being Japanese.

The disturbing "snuff" footage at the beginning still looks very impressive nearly 20 years on.
