In the late 60’s, Bruce Lee lost the lead role in a project he developed because of white washing. To make it worse, they replaced him with a white guy in yellow face. I have said this before, but I feel forty something years later, Into The Badlands has helped right that wrong. My fellow producers, Stacey Sher, Michael Shamberg, Al Gough, Miles Milar and the studio AMC all insisted that Sunny be Asian. Their insistence made me think “Hollywood” is changing. The reason why I never really pursued a career in the US after 20 years of stardom in Asia was because in the A...Read more
based on Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. In the first film, instead of the man waking up as a cockroach, he woke up insert your favorite race here in a white family. The second film would be the same man waking up white in a insert your favorite race here family. Would replacing that cockroach with a human be considered humanwashing?
I wouldn’t say Ghost In The Shell is an example of whitewashing in as much is it is an example of the American condition. We as Americans are a results based society, we always have to win, to be number one, the short term being more i...Read more

It's truly an amazing city. It's my home and I love it. Thirdly, what's up with...Read more

No, no, no let's get things straight here. I did one interview about this and then the quotes get taken out of context by other media outlets that picked it up. Let's go back to zero here. Iron Fist to me is NOT a case of WHITEWASHING because the character historically has been white. I don't buy CULTURAL APPROPRIATION because it goes against everything the master, Bruce Lee, taught. White, black, yellow, brown, short, tall, skinny, fat Martial Arts are for everyone. Some of the best martial artists in the world are not Asian. George Saint Pierre is white ...Read more
