3 Ninjas (1992) - Rotten Tomatoes
Well I'm guessing every Japanese actor who read the script refused to do it...and thumbs up to them for that!


Yea that movie..lol. if you have the time, go and watch that movie through stream and listen to his talking in Japanese.

And you will think to yourself..."That's not how Japanese accent sounds like....."

I mean, he didn't even try to be authentic at all. :omghaha::omghaha:
 
The US may not be perfect, but if the subject is cinema, then the US is far ahead of China in terms of race relations. There are more diverse racial and ethnic make up in American cinema than in Chinese movies. We do not need to be lectured about race relations from Chinese who are proven and admitted racists on this forum.
 
Stand by me Doraemon

LMFAO.

That part killed me.




Dude, dude, dude...calm it down man. You sound like some of my friends who get angry at the sight of Asian girls holding hands with a whitey with yellow fever! What do you expect -- we live in a country that is immigrant-based. Its bound to happen , and whitey happens to make up the majority of the demographics, lol. Considering the fact that what ? East Asians make up less than 5% of the US Population, there's still a lot of representation in hollywood as of late.

I mean, definitely they need to stop with the stereotype that Asian guys are betas and super-intellectual geeks who succeed in life. Wait. Wait. Is that a bad thing? lol.


Anyways, as for East Asians in Holly wood....

Ya, he is. Slowly East Asians are making a more "alpha" role presence? I don't know perhaps Glenn is still to beta acting for some folks. lol.

Very true, especially from those who refer to our Filipino and Vietnamese members as being "monkeys" or "jungle folks". Unacceptable.

Maybe. I didn't see Glenn as an alpha role in other dramas
 
Watched the movie.Worth watching unlike many other Hollywood "movies" .But previous ones in the series have been much much better for me.Well i did not expect anything spectacular anyway so not disappointed.Next to watch from West-produced movies will be Star Wars in December.
 
True. I remember the first Jurassic Park. Animatronics were used, now all CGI. What a shame really.

Hollywood is past of its prime, and the 1990s was the true pinnacle of its movie industry.

The movies like the original JP and Titanic were the last swan song for Hollywood, and most movies in the post-2000s are craps.
 
Wow...Its a huge market. Indian film industries should aggressively market in china...
 
Swear to god this will come up when people start talking about whitewashing in Hollywood

Well, he actually sounded like some of my Asian friend who got rejected by white girl and now starting to hate them...

Just chill bro, it's just love..........

But to be fair, the reason Asian are not prominent in Hollywood is not because there are not enough Asian actor and/actress around, the problem is not about actor representation, but the person who wrote the character and/or roles.

For a normal writer, you probably won't start a role explicitly for Asian, that kind of paint yourselves in a corner, the problem is, once you set your cast/character Asian, you cannot wiggle out of it and have to cast an Asian, which give you only 15-20% choice of all the SAG member. You can write your character with a western name and undefined race and you can eventually cast an Asian to fill the role.

Producer and Director and much less, casting agent don't really like the casting criteria is set, that mean they cannot work the magic, which is finding out the chemistry between the cast and the role. Which basically limited their choice and tied their hand.

Then there are the cultural different, say a script is written by a native of Utah and there are no way he can build an Asian character from ground up without knowing the cultural difference, people said Cameron Crowe don't know how to cast so he cast Emma Stone to her role in Aloha, but then again, do you think Cameron Crowe don't know what Asian American is?? What he did and why he did it is very much different, but then he think the role should go to emma stone, then the role evolve around her, not the other way around.

And finally, not many people know this, it is hard to cast an Asian actor, I had been working on a few film, I see how hard it is to cast Asian Actor for a Western Production, what they want sometime those Asian actor don't want to do. I saw script that have been change time and again trying to find some actor willing to do the part. And in the end, it is a lot easier to cast just an actor then to cast a specific kind.

This is why Asian actor always ended up stereotype in Hollywood, simply because this is easier to do so then to have someone without any Asian cultural knowledge trying to build an Asian Character that make sense, it maybe okay in China, Japan, simply because, well, they are in Asia, but try ask and Hollywood Screen writer wrote an Asian part? Lol I saw many of them fail spectacularly
