Dear Spammer,

I usually send all spammy comments into my virtual trash compactor as soon as I see them, but your comment is so hilarious in the context of my review that I couldn’t resist keeping it. Cheers!

That’s a great use for old hubcaps. I bet you could find a lot of other uses as well.

Some people will criticize it for being unrealistic, but just watch how the thrilling aspects of this will make you feel fi you were put in the situation yourself. Nice Review!

Greatly entertaining and thrilling movie but absolutely unrealistic from a military point of view. Good review!

Also, welcome to LAMb!

Nope, it's Mrs Yi. Mrs Mai has already claimed Mr Yi's discard with 吃 chī, and the turn has moved on to Mrs Yi, who quietly "submits" to what's going on under her nose: hence Mrs Mai claims her discard with 碰 pèng, leaving herself just one more move to win the game.

Another bit of trivia I didn't include in the post: At every turn of the game until her last, Mrs Mai is claiming discards from Mr Yi using 吃 chī (eat), or Mrs Yi using 碰 pèng (strike). Only her final offscreen winning move is a 自摸 zìmō (self-drawn): she's made her own fortune in this game. Glad you enjoyed!

Triumphant, Mrs Mai claims Mrs Yi’s discarded tile with a 碰 pèng, and sallies on with her plan, hastily scribbling the rest of her “un-needed” phone number before claiming Mrs Yi’s tile:

Shouldn’t it be Mr Yi instead of Mrs Yi?

That said, v interesting! Didn’t realise that haha. should watch it again. I just thought it an interesting little piece of subterfuge..

I’m not familiar with the game of mahjong (it does seem fun!) so thanks for doing a step-by-step analysis of how this hand pans out. I got that he somehow let her win, which was cute, and I guess it’s part of their lusty foreplay scenes (the foreplay before the actual foreplay anyway).

Interesting.
