MI:3

As some of you might know, this film has faced some degree of resistance from the Chinese censors who feel that certain scenes in the movie were "detrimental" to the image of Shanghai as a metropolis. 3 days ago, the South China Morning Post reported that MI:3 will be allowed in China on the condition that some scenes are cut. These scenes include shots of laundry hanging on bamboo poles in the foreground of the establishing shots in Shanghai, as well as the downtown car chase scene. Demands have even been made for some footage of elderly people playing mahjong in Xitang to be cut as well. Yet despite these unpleasantries, this installment is most certainly the best of the MI series so far.
