No one else could ever even think about playing Lo 0amPan.

I'll plug Totally Awesome here again.
80s movies spoof movie... made in early 00's with SNL people. Day, Katan, and more.
I believe Hong plays the spoof of Mr. Miyagi.

I looked up James Hong career on IMDB and was in awe of his history. Could he be the longest-working actor? I had thought he was someone who started acting later in life and that was not the case at all!
Edit: adding a link incase anyone else wants to check it out! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0393222/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Good luck. It’s no walk in the park. As you well know, Jack Burton spends the majority of the movie a few steps behind whatever is happening.
aSpookyScarySkeleton t1_j891v4k wrote
He’s one of those actors that I get excited about when he unexpectedly pops up in something im watching. Might not sound like much but those are my favorite actors, much more than any leading people.
Those “holy shit they’re in this too?” moments are always so good.

I don't think Badlands was ever good, the first episode was just almost good to me. I think it was just slightly too far past the silly line.

James Hong is a national treasure! Talented, humble, sincere and kind.
Toidal t1_j89avu5 wrote
There's only 3 seasons. I really liked it despite its faults. The first main bad's storyline finished at the end of s2 instead of dragging on, the most annoying character in the show got offed at the end of s3, Nick Frost joined the cast and did a lot of big guy Sammo Hung esque Kung Fu and they were gearing up to introduce gun fu it seemed in S4 before it got cancelled.
I'm also really into that ruins of the old world vibe like in Fallout, and Horizon.

Saw an interview of him recently, and he literally got up and started jovially dancing. And he's still very sharp mentally. Like he's at least as sharp as the average person half his age.

The general populace in China is called "100 family names" for a reason.
xenolingual t1_j89esz2 wrote
I remember when he first started working in China and had terrible Chinese. Proper ABC and proper hot. Stuck in traffic? At least there's an ad with Daniel Wu on a building to look at!
xenolingual t1_j89gl81 wrote
This opinion isn't uncommon in Chinese and Chinese diaspora communities throughout East/Southeast Asia. In Malaysia, where Chiang is from, Indians are the next largest ethnic minority group after Chinese, but don't hold nearly the economic power that the Chinese community does, though there's definitely an Indian elite/professional class. Usually this comes with a dollop of Han-centricism (the only cultures which matter are touched culturally or politically by the various dynasties of the Middle Kingdom [minus the non-Han ones, save when they Hanified]).
Not excusing it, just saying that it's consistent with where he's from, as well as really disappointing if that's an indication of his beliefs rather than something put on for a joke.
SonicStun t1_j89ilug wrote
My favorite supercut of Jack Burton asking questions for those playing hard mode.
spyson t1_j89iqff wrote
Even if it's consistent with where he's from, that doesn't mean it's not closed to being criticized. People can have a lot of closeminded views back where they're from, but that doesn't mean it should be acceptable here.
You brought more context to the issue so thank you for that.

It was a fun but dumb show. Cheesy over the top wire-fu action, like Xena Warrior Princess or Hercules. Maybe it wasn't "good" but I still enjoyed it for what it was.

I watched Turning Red last week and was reminded how great of a voice actor he is as well. He's great in Kung Fu Panda and Mulan of course, but apparently he has uncredited voice work in the first american dub of the original Godzilla! What a career!

The over the top wuxia style fight scenes were so fun to watch. The costume design also stood out to me, everyone is just so snappily dressed (shout out to whoever did Emily Beecham's wardrobe).
Unfortunately the story's pace wasn't great and the acting ranged from just okay (where the actors own the cheesiness and just chew scenery) to kind of bad (looking at you MK).

Wow, this is stacked.
