One of the better jokes in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” and one supposedly held over from an “Avengers” draft by Joss Whedon, was Captain America’s list of things he has to catch up on. What’s interesting is that the list was altered depending on where you saw the movie — South Korea, France, Great Britain, Latin America, or New Zealand/Australia. The specificity is really cool and also leaves Steve with a much longer list of things to catch up on!
“Iron Man 3” was co-financed by Chinese money and, with that audience in mind, has an entirely different cut that is four minutes longer and includes an expanded role for a Chinese doctor, a new character (played by Asian superstar Fan Bingbing), and blatant product placement for Gu Li Duo, a popular Chinese milk drink. Supposedly the response to this version was, according to the Hollywood Reporter, “mixed.”
