he was the
best Mahjong player among the Americans who auditioned for the movie.
For those unfamilariar with Sloanese, this means that only one
American auditioned for the movie.
I was disappointed. One, this was the worst acting I've seen (by
everyone, not just Sam) outside of an Ed Wood film, and two, I assumed
if Sam was in it, it was a porno flick.
No. It was a real first run movie shown in all the movie theaters in
Japan.
In the next scene in the movie, the star, the one who moves too slow,
loses a lot of money and does not have any money to pay because his
partner ducked out when they were losing, so we take him out in the
ally in back and beat him up. The guy who beats him up is the light-
haired guy who is arguing with him, who was a real former FBI agent.
The other clip is from a later scene in the movie. There they are
gambling for big money.

When one guy is losing so much money, he gets desperate, so be bets
both his house and his wife on a hand of mahjong. His wife is the
beautiful girl you see in the plaid dress waiting for the outcome. The
result is the man loses both his house and his wife. The winner of the
bet moves into the house and in the next scene is sleeping in bed with
the wife.
Later in the movie they have another big gambling game of mahjong and
this time the original owner of the house wins back both his house and
his wife too. So, now you see her back in bed with her original
husband.
In the next scene Sam moves in with the couple, claiming that the
previous owner had left him the house in his will, the original of
which has since been destroyed. However Sam has a witness, a 97 year
old women suffering from dementia and sclerosis, who is willing to
swear on a stack of Chinese Korans that her since deceased husband
told her that his best friend's son in laws's nephew had witnessed the
previous owner signing the will leaving the house and all of his
possessions to Sam. The couple sues to evict him and there ensues a
tense court room sequence. Sam, appearing pro se, cross examines
himself and forces himself to admit that he himself had forged the
will. Sam is convicted of perjury and Judge Denny Chin (playing
himself) sentences Sam to 10 years hard labor. Like most new fish Sam
is treated horribly by the other inmates, climaxing in a brutal shower
bukkake gang rape. Sam's tragedy turns to triump though when he comes
second of two in the geriatric division of the prison wide memory
contest. He is finally accepted by the other prisoners and as he
adapts to prison life he realizes that he has fallen in love with one
of his attackers, a hardened lifer called Long Wang. As the films
final sequence fades to black Sam and Wang stare deeply into each
others eyes and Sam says "Me so horny," a line later plagiarized by
famed director Stanley Kubrick, Sam's close friend,in Full Metal
Jacket.

classic.
