A lot of asians have been going to great lengths to change their "kung fu" image or as geeky engineers. Recently a film was made exclusively by asian actors ("Better Luck Tomorrow") to counter the asian male stereotypes that most people hold. Ehh, the movie was okay, but I appreciated it cuz for once asian guys were human. haha

I watch asian films all the time... actually better put, I watch lots of foreign films. Yes, there is an over abundance of kungfu imports, but watching lots of the original John Woo/Chow Yun Fat movies can show that the Asian man is not all about kungfu and computer geeks. Heck, evn Kaiju (i.e. Godzilla) movies had their geeky characters.
I was looking forward to "Better Luck Tomorrow" since it's an MTV product, but I wasn't able to get a screener pass. So I'll wait utnil someone here has a screener to bring home.
