I'm more interested in how porn can be legitimately sold in cinemas. =)


In all seriousness, i would assume many fledgling producers, directors would jump at a chance to produce movies with that kind of budget.

But there's still other factors that may deter it though. With the kind of censorship and restrictions placed on local made movies, there is a feeling that the lack of funds is not the sole reason more films arent being made here.

Quality films that is.

During the 70s porn was legal on the silver screens in Malaysia? If that was true i claim ignorance, i wasnt born then =)

On the issue of censorship, you may have a point. But think about the last two local films banned recently. One touched on the subject of communism, the other on foreigners being mistreated.

If the govt are so quick to clampdown on matters outside what we are normally getting now (pontianak stories, trivial love stories, etc), i don't see how there is an incentive for local producers to be more creative.
