I thought it was a big deal that this was the first "big" film to feature an all-Asian cast, as well as an Asian writer. What was interesting was that when Better Luck Tomorrow was presented to the film company (sorry I don't know the name), they actually suggested writing in a caucasian lead part. Obviously, that never happened.
In the now-burning SoCal, I heard the movie had a pretty big opening weekend, topping the state's list.
