James, you need to bone up on Hong Kong film industry: it's

overwhelmingly martial arts, as are several other Asian markets.
The two Brasilian films you mention are both "art" films, Carandiru being considered among the ten best from the Samba country. Mango also is an "art" film; neither is typical of the Brasilian industry which has a lot of crime and slapstick type of fare.
Plot driven films are the norm in all markets for a very understandable reason: the writing needn't be as excellent. Also, the actors needn't have the same acting skill level. A knowledge of popular television, which is similar in Europe and SA, will confirm that plots drive it.
