Dumplings (2004)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Country: Hong Kong
Language: Cantonese, Mandarin (English subtitles)
Runtime: 01:30:41
Genres: Cannibalism, Gore-Gruesome,

Plot – Spoilers:
A former actress Mrs Li is perturbed by her fading beauty and approaches Aunt Mei who looks remarkably younger than her purported age. Mei is renowned in the world of shady treatments for a secret recipe that successfully fights the ageing process.

Dumplings is the full-length version of what was originally a short film in Three…Extremes. If you’re gonna watch both versions, and you probably must, as the ending in the short film is more effed up in spirit than on here. So if you’re gonna do that, it’s probably better to watch the short one first and then this, as the characters and scenes are more fleshed out here. But it eventually depends on your preference – do you like going from thin to fat or the other way.

Now you know why Chinese food is so expensive. Who wants to take the “Clams and Linguine Challenge?” Here’s how it works. Either make or, better still, get some take out clams and linguine and eat half of it. Next, put the film on and take a mouthful of your dinner whenever they eat the dumplings. It’s a pretty good film. 3 and a half stars.

When a film starts putting words in the mouth of a national icon like Yue Fei, especially ones as barbaric as “Celebrate with a drink of the invader’s blood”, in a completely different, and twisted context, it deserves to be called the hell out. Let’s be real here, when you’re dialoguing and twisting the words of someone so revered, for pure shock value it’s not entertaining anymore. That’s character assassination. It’s a grotesque, twisted simplification of poetic metaphor, delivered by a character who literally eats fetuses to stay young.

There’s also a line in there in which the twisted cook says that the “Japanese ate many Chinese” as a way to retain youthfulness, which is completely irresponsible and ahistorical. It isn’t just a throwaway line, it’s emotionally violating to those that have suffered through Japanese atrocities that weren’t really that long ago.

While I understand that the movie deliberately uses grotesque metaphors to explore vanity, aging, and morality as part of this metaphorical horror landscape, by disguising something historically false as something that sounds like the truth, you’re going to be pissing off people that have actually lived through these events, or are experiencing the secondhand trauma of it.

Just another film to toss in the trash and never revisit again. FUCK YOU.

this movie is so sad actually. . not because im sad of unborn babies getting aborted and eaten but it’s because of women have to suffer because of men’s actions

It shouldnt be considered illegal or a big deal if you eat a disgarded fetus from some abortion clinic trashcan because that way the baby still finds its way in the tummy as it should <3 fyi people eat roadkilled animals all the time in america, meat is meat, dont let it go to waste

The mukbang scenes in this movie made me hungry, so I made some wanton soup with dumplings to eat while watching this movie. lol

It was fun watching this movie especially Aunt Mei who’s really into her character. Thanks for sharing this~

Very good movie. Classy. I’ll stick to the frozen dumplings from the supermarket though. At least I think they’re pork…

It’s a bit of a slow burner but it’s creepy. Bai ling stars as the girl who makes the dumplings, I used to think she was hot when I saw her in Crank. The way she talks about fetuses in this movie, being in many different products is definitely true especially in the covid vaccine they use fetal cell lines but big pharma cover it up by saying they use cell lines grown in a lab (yeah right!) like we can just simply verify this, right?!? Anyway this was a fairly decent, cool gem of a movie.

Man, and I thought Hannibal Lectar was sick and twisted! This movie is beyond ‘effedup’. I don’t know if I could ever eat dumplings again. If you’re a big fan of EUM movies. This is definitely a must watch!

I feel that the short version in Three Extremes was more effective than the full length movie. Either way though it’s a great show. Watch it. It’s damn creepy. And for all we know about uber-wealthy Chinese, it could actually be going on.
