Looking for great examples of Chinese food featured in movies and television as the creator of General Tso's Chicken, a famous Americanized Chinese dish,
Peng Chang-kuei, has passed away at the age of 98.
Let's Get Some Chinese Takeout Tonight
I've uploaded appropriate food images for the following soon to be added options:
Added images for Oldboy (2003); eXistenz; A Christmas Story; Seinfeld
There are a ton of movies with people sitting around eating Chinese out of boxes while discussing something in the plot of the movie i.e. young lawyers in A Few Good Men.
They all expertly use chopsticks, too.
@PUNKEY,
I do remember that scene but there doesn't appear to be any screenshots of said scene online or in the IMDb image gallery. I'll keep that in mind but will need to figure out what image to use (or if I can find one another way).
From what I remember, in Hannibal, agent Clarice Starling is talking to Italian agent Agent Franco Benetti over the phone and is imagining him as a stereotypical Italian with mustache. In actuality, he is clean cut and is eating Chinese food with chopsticks out of a take out box.

Good thread, Tsar.
@tsarstepan,
It's not General Tso's chicken, but this scene is funny.

They’re good just with vinegar.
Chili sauce. Stay away from this

To make a sweater, yes.
BENJY
Okay. I’ll show you. Balance is
everything. ONe goes there, the

Benjy tosses the chopsticks and picks up a fork.

@seac,
Waiting for Guffman will be added to the list and additional screenshots uploaded to the IMDb page. So when they update the images, I'll add it to the list.
@ehBeth,
There are no images of the food in Glenngarry Glen Ross but there are some stellar large screenshots of the restaurant (inside and out) online. Uploaded 4 of them to the GGR image gallery on IMDb.
