If the Pacific States do join the Co-Prosperity Sphere movies like Big Trouble in Little China would be more common.
What do you guys think?

I think so. I also think film's like Rush Hour and Kung Pow! would be way more common. Speaking of which...If the Pacific States do join the Co-Prosperity Sphere movies like Big Trouble in Little China would be more common.

Big Trouble in Little China - a 1986 Pacific States fantasy/martial arts/action comedy. The film follows an all-Pacifican truck driver named Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) as he helps rescue his friend's fiancée from a 2000 year old sorcerer in San Francisco's Chinatown. The movie became a runaway success in the box office, quickly gaining not only a cult following throughout the Co-Prosperity Sphere, but also the German Empire/Reichspakt and the Internationale as well.
Two equally successful sequels were made afterwards -Big Trouble in Little Korea (1988) and Big Trouble in Little Japan (1991). Both films include the return of Russell's co-stars Kim Cattrall and Victor Wong.
Currently a reboot starring Chris Pratt is being developed for release in Summer 2022.
In the 1950s, a group of young men in Chicago, Combined Syndicates of America, form an amusement-machine collective called Midway Collective. In the 1970s, Pacific States and United States firms like Atari and Texas Instruments begin to develop computing. By 1979, even the Combined Syndicates has the first computer. The Midway Collective decides to produce arcade games. By the 1990s, a new hardware called CS-4 comes out in the Combined Syndicates. Midway Collective decides to produce a fighting game inspired by Pacific States and Asian martial arts movies that are occasionally screened in the Combined Syndicates. Ed Boon and John Tobias, both Chicago natives who had access to these screenings created the concept Mortal Kombat.Do you think Mortal Kombat would be any different in KR?
In alternate history, people can end up it different places, especially if the POD is over a century ago.Kurt Russell from Massachusetts, Kim Cattral from Britain, Victor Wong from California, and Chris Pratt from Minnesota. Of these, Victor Wong is the only one I could see making a movie in the Pacific States.
What would the plot be like? Any different from OTL?View attachment 669060
Dune is a science fiction epic film directed by Avant-Garde film maker Alexandro Jodorowsky and based on the 1965 novel by Frank Herbert. In 1974 Jodorowsky, having allegedly read the entire novel in one sitting lobbied the major French film syndicates to fund the project. The film was released on May 25, 1977, with a runtime of 12 hours (14 if you count intermissions)
Many cinephiles regard Dune as the greatest film ever made and the pinnacle of film as a medium. It’s impact on film is still felt today as many filmmakers draw inspiration from Dune whether intentionally or not. Some Frank Herbert enthusiasts criticize the film for deviating too far from the source material. Watching the film is often described as a religious experience and an LSD trip printed into celluloid.

From what I've researched, Jodorowsky's Dune would follow most of the same plot beats as the novel but the ending would be different. At the end, Paul would eliminate all the sandworms and absorb all the Spice to become one with the planet, then he an humanity would ascend to a higher plane of existence.What would the plot be like?
