Yes, but I've pointed out to other users, especially those in other countries who seem to think that we have to be ALL to EVERYONE around the world .... that this is a U.S. based website. They should conform to U.S. standards and don't whine about it. I'm so glad that IMFDB uses the ENGLISH title as the sorting factor, not the original language title like IMDB. IMDB is big enough to fancy itself to be the U.N. of movie databases. But IMFDB is NOT IMDB.

For one thing, I am glad that IMFDB lists Jackie Chan's movie title "Police Story 3: Super Cop" .... rather than "Ging chat goo si 3: Chiu kup ging chat" like IMDB does. I don't know about you but I don't instinctive type in GING CHAT GOO when I search for a Jackie Chan movie! (of course the only exception is that if the movie was NEVER released with an English language title).....
