Is Justin Lin going to make more movies? This was awesome. Very powerful and I appreciated the cast. I remember looking forward to this so much when I was in high school.
What I found interesting about this movie, is that a lot of asian gangs are like this. They don´t necessarily bang like the latino or black gangs and they dont really have tatoos. They´re smarter more like a mafia, they get good grades, they´re on honor role, yet they sell drugs, bootleg electronics, and probably make hits like any other gang. Some even use their nerdy asian steriotype so no one will suspect them these guys are organized crime gotta give em propz for being ahead of the game
I remember seeing in theaters this when I was 16. My friend and I knew nothing about it but we picked it because it had nudity in it. It was a good choice.
This is hands down a masterpeice..Im Somali and i appreciate the fact that its a movie with a mostly asian cast becaause mostly you would see these kinds of movies with a bunch a mostly white cast you know?
this movie has that guy from fast and furious and has the same name in this one Han Sue as he does in Fast and Furious i think he goes from this high school into becomming friends with Dom and bein a driver
The ending is sour. I understand they wanted to present two options acceptance of a philosophical meaning to life or the rejection to that, but the ending still leaves you with a bad feeling. Hope that wasn't a spoiler.
all the negative reviews ppl are giving this movie is unnecessary what are you a film critic take your head out your ass to realize how great this movie is i love this movie it wasn't some huge Hollywood movie but it was GREAT none the less 10/10 FUCK THE HATERZZ
I saw a few clipz of thiz film in my class at SJSU. Films like thiz show a positive and negative. Positive in the fact their is equal representation in films. But negative in the fact that most of my friends hated the sterotypes of asians in films. Every ethnicity is sterotyped in films, look at who writes the scripts? Many people gain tolerance with the negative representation in films and say something racist and then people wonder why or where that person learned such an ignorate thing.
@eciIa89 its based on the Stuart A. Tay murder that happened in Buena Park Ca in 1992 on new years eve. 4 of the guys went to Sunny Hills who murdered Tay and 1 of them went to BPHS, he was the guy who buried Tay in his backyard. This movie is far from the truth by the way.
the moral to this video is if asians try to be good asians, whites will laugh at them. when asians try to be bad asians, blacks and mexicans will laugh at them
Best part of the movie was when the real Asian gangsters rolled up next to Ben and them and flashed the uzi and Ben, Virgil and them just looking straight scared shitless haha... That was classic and this movie is a classic movie and should be in any Asian Americans DVD collection...
@swbice i checked the credits at the end of the movie and their names were either traditional filipino last names or spanish as the philippines was a spanish colony
This is one of the few movies with a predominantly Asian cast I've seen that I can relate to in terms of non-stereotypical bullshit.
There's only a handful of movies out there in American cinema that will ever be able to do this again. Imagine this movie with an all-white cast. It's seemless between cultural lines. Awesome movie.
I agree with you in terms of stereotypes but for it being seamless between cultures, not so much. What makes this movie is that it's an eye opener. It reveals a side of Asian-American culture most non-Asians aren't aware of. It's melodramatic; most movies are. Regardless it shows IMO an accurate portrayal of Asian-American culture and how it pushes on it's youth in the extreme to succeed and achieve. It shows the emotional tolls it can take and the deadly reactions to the stress it can cause.
It's non-stereotypical because it shows the reality of pressure on all sides of social conformity, parental expectations(although they dont really show it in the movie), and peer expectations.
The stereotype is that Asians are smart and nothing else is going on under the surface. Which this movie reveals is not the case.
The reason why I say it's seamless, is because nearly every race has this minority of overachievers. It's just been attributed to Asians in the US
Justin Lin is a really loyal director i think. cause he made This,Tokyo Drift,and Finishing the Game. and all of these movies had at least two or three of these actors Sung Kang,Jason Tobin,Roger Fan and Parry Chen.
what i don't undrestand is when they killed the dude at the end.. thers no point.. and they were the one who killed him and buried him and find it at there backyard is kinda weird.
what i dont get it theyre not white yet they live in america and speak the language perfectly ? i tell ya i gotta start travelling outta missisippi soon !
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
PFFFF...this movie was so gay...I live in HI where half our population is asian and even they dont give a f**k about this movie...damn softies busting out 45s?! whatever...I had to watch this movie as an assignment and I couldnt even look at the screen sometimes. daric and han were homos..billy and virgil were somewhat believable. is this how suburban cali asians run it? f*kn fake ass fools...talking sh*t about the "rich" asian kid when theyre all from the burbs
haha ! alot of asians who are from the suburb are more down than most urban niggaz.. but than again.. thats dumb.. why the hell would a suburb downgrade.. which the movie didn't make sense.
Jeff Ma wrote "Bringing Down the House", the basis of 21. Most of the main players in the real-life story were Asian-American, but the producers wanted to change the character to a British actor. This is seen as a slight to a lot of Asian-American actors who were denied that opportunity and relegated Asian characters to secondary roles. Ppl make the argument there aren't 2 many famous Asian-American actors. One can argue it's because they're not given a fair chance like in this situation.
Go to Google n word search, The fontanelles. Theres planty of webs but you best bet is, THE FONTANELLES-BUTTERFLY-FREEMP3 STREAM ON IMM or something like that. good luck!
I saw this movie and it kind of made me mad. I mean these guys had everything going for theirselves. Do you know how many kids grow up in poverty, foster homes, on the streets and wish to have just an ounce of the lifestyle they lead? They wanted to fuck around b/c they were bored w/ their everyday lives. I seriously dont understand people....
I dont know why your pissed, the same reason the overprivledged assholes like to act like juveniles is the same reason why underprivledged people like to live a life of excess when they get a taste of it, its a fear of routine, being stucks in the same position forever....think about it both ways
Im sorry but I know plenty of kids who grow up in poverty, no parents and in bad neighborhoods & they would kill to live the lives these guys had. its like they had everything they needed & wanted right in front of them. Do you think these kids who grow up in bad situations want to stay living like that? Im pretty sure these kids would love to be able to go to the top schools, make something out of theirselves, have a place to rest their head & have a future. & i thought about it both ways
yeah but some motherfuckers like to live in poverty i've seen people in poverty who are happier then people with all the money in the world. I dont know about you but some people are happy with obstacles in their life not with a silver spoon up their ass. These guys in the movie got an adreniline rush from this shit just like someone with no money would get a rush from driving a sports car they will never own.
i knew the kid thats house they used to kill the guy, his name was abraham he was kinda slow in the head he lived in buena park california, they killed the kid and left the body in his garge, this movie is nothin like what really went down in 1993..
i know but if they used the real events more in the movie it could have been a way better movie.. the real plot was more interesting and how the shit went down...
i go to sunny hills high school. its the most boring school i have ever seen(Sat's, high gpa, etc)competition is extremely high as its always been. cant believe sunny hills students would do sumthing like this. most of the kids here cant sleep without their teddy bears.
man asian parents drive their kids to become crazy and shit..they expect wayyyyyy too much. theres nothin wrong with your parents pushin you but dont push kids to the edge and they go nuts...my pops is filipino & hes pushy but hes not as crazy as korean parents..now they some nutcases LMFAO
Agreed. I'm Korean and my parents are always like "why don't you study for the SATs. how are you going to feel when all your friends go to good colleges and you go to a junior college" and I'm like "thanks for believing in me"
In the end, no1 really knows why they did this becuz ALL of them were on their way to High profiled schools like Harvard, Penn state, Yale and they just threw it all away. Now all of them are spending life in jail. And btw, They actually did bury his body in sum1s backyard like how the movie portrayed it. WHAT IDIOTS!
They pretended that they were gonna sell him a gun and that they were gonna use it for the heist, but instead of selling the gun, they beat Stuart down and poured gasoline in his mouth and wrapped duck tape over it. Stuart died by his own vomit.
What happen is that Stuart gets the number of the honor roll nerd from his gf and sets up a scheme to rob his computer dealer. For watever reason (maybe it was the fact that he was dating his ex gf) the honor roll nerd hated him and planned his own scheme to murder Stuart.
This is based on the murder of Stuart Tay, the doode that is played by John Cho. Wat happen in real life is that Stuart wanted to robbed his computer dealer (some doode that sells computer parts to him) but he didn't have any friends to help. His gf tells him that she dated a guy who supposely was in the wa-ching gang which in reality who was some honor roll nerd trying to play gangsta who is played by perry chen.
I've always seen the film as being one that isn't about dispelling myths. I always saw it as one that shows the pitfalls of the model-minority stereotype and mentality. To me the movie is about how the stereotypical asian drive to succeed, regardless of morality, is only viewed as beneficial because nothing bad happens. Truth is, bad things can very well happen.
my brother bought the dvd and we loved it. I enjoy the movie. (I'm not Asian). Well I'm glad that the Asian community it's making their way to Hollywood too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i stand by my comment. Every scene made me cringe. EVery scene felt like it was peeled out of a better teen movie from the 80's and 90's. Cliches all over the place, the actors were totally insecure and over-acted, plus this would never EVER happen these braniac asian kids would never do any of this shit maybe the KP BOI ones but not these sorry Not gonna fly i live in So CAL and I KNOW what asians are like...know a ton of em as good friends. Just horrible film really.
If asian honor students weren't capable of cracking under pressure of high educational standards within our culture, suicide rate wouldn't be high.
It may not be as flashy as the movie, but I know for a fact I bought weed on more than one occasion from an asian classmate who looks like one of those born-to-be-a-doctor type. What kind of Ivy league school do you go to? LOL
Hahaha, great reference to Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle! :D
I completely side with you, Spriggan107. bakdgreat, I am guessing from your comment that you are not Asian-American, even if you DO live in SoCal. It's like this for us Asian-Americans everywhere, we're not just in California, you know. I, personally, am willing to go out and buy this movie myself just because of what it means to Asian-Americans.
Seems like you have to meet some more people cause people like this really do exist in socal. I know so many people who do fuckin well in school but toke all the time. Ever heard of Berkley?
Seems you know everything about Asians and Asian-Americans, especially interesting since you're not Asian or Asian-American. You're entitled to your opinion about the movie. Did you know that this movie was based on a real-life event involving Asian-Americans?
really? Well who knows I could be wrong. THe area im from has a very good school and my school is alomst 50 percent asian. Even the most hardcore ones (asian pride) dont act like this...especially not the kind that get into good schools. This combo reeks of a sort of pretension and insecurtiy intelligent asian kids have of dismembering an old stereotype. WHat ends up happening is that it comes of as a farce.
Being an outsider to something can never be the same as being part of it. So knowing many Asian-Americans can never replace the experience of being Asian-American. I've encountered plenty of people who aren't Asian, but they go around as if they know all about Asian culture and Asian people, and I just shake my head.
alright man ill give u that. At least in the are im from, i doubt it. By the way almost 3/4 of my friends are asians, and ive known them since middle school but I DO live in a bubble called IRVINE CA so yah point conceded.
I grew up in Irvine, lived there most of my life... so I'm well aware about Irvine, and it's definitely a bubble, one full of ignorance, of superficiality and much snobbery.
I know kids who are pretty much as rich too..the feeling I get is that im being swindled by this film. But if it is based on a true story, I could be wrong.
At that high school in Fullerton, a smart kid planned to murder another Asian-American he feared. Like in the movie, the plotter once had a crush on a cheerleader. He got four of his friends to help, they waited in a garage for him, he was beaten with a sledgehammer, rubbing alcohol then poured into his mouth, which they duct taped shut and he died, and they buried his body in the backyard.
bakdgreat u idiot, the movie pretty much is a true story. sorry to burst your little sheltered bubble but this really did happen IN southern california involving ivy league bound students who attended sunny hills high school, which most would consider a pretty good school. you hating on this movie without knowing any of the facts. i suggest you go to google and type in stuart tay. expand your knowledge and pop that little bubble of ignorance you hiding behind.

In the end, no1 really knows why they did this becuz ALL of them were on their way to High profiled schools like Harvard, Penn state, Yale and they just threw it all away. Now all of them are spending life in jail. And btw, They actually did bury his body in sum1s backyard like how the movie portrayed it. WHAT IDIOTS!

They pretended that they were gonna sell him a gun and that they were gonna use it for the heist, but instead of selling the gun, they beat Stuart down and poured gasoline in his mouth and wrapped duck tape over it. Stuart died by his own vomit.

stuart?? lol his name was steve
vinnyg12 4 years ago
What happen is that Stuart gets the number of the honor roll nerd from his gf and sets up a scheme to rob his computer dealer. For watever reason (maybe it was the fact that he was dating his ex gf) the honor roll nerd hated him and planned his own scheme to murder Stuart.
denthamc 4 years ago
This is based on the murder of Stuart Tay, the doode that is played by John Cho. Wat happen in real life is that Stuart wanted to robbed his computer dealer (some doode that sells computer parts to him) but he didn't have any friends to help. His gf tells him that she dated a guy who supposely was in the wa-ching gang which in reality who was some honor roll nerd trying to play gangsta who is played by perry chen.

I've always seen the film as being one that isn't about dispelling myths. I always saw it as one that shows the pitfalls of the model-minority stereotype and mentality. To me the movie is about how the stereotypical asian drive to succeed, regardless of morality, is only viewed as beneficial because nothing bad happens. Truth is, bad things can very well happen.

my brother bought the dvd and we loved it. I enjoy the movie. (I'm not Asian). Well I'm glad that the Asian community it's making their way to Hollywood too.

i stand by my comment. Every scene made me cringe. EVery scene felt like it was peeled out of a better teen movie from the 80's and 90's. Cliches all over the place, the actors were totally insecure and over-acted, plus this would never EVER happen these braniac asian kids would never do any of this shit maybe the KP BOI ones but not these sorry Not gonna fly i live in So CAL and I KNOW what asians are like...know a ton of em as good friends. Just horrible film really.
bakdgreat 4 years ago
How do you make a conclusion like that man?
If asian honor students weren't capable of cracking under pressure of high educational standards within our culture, suicide rate wouldn't be high.
It may not be as flashy as the movie, but I know for a fact I bought weed on more than one occasion from an asian classmate who looks like one of those born-to-be-a-doctor type. What kind of Ivy league school do you go to? LOL
Spriggan107 4 years ago 3
Hahaha, great reference to Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle! :D
I completely side with you, Spriggan107. bakdgreat, I am guessing from your comment that you are not Asian-American, even if you DO live in SoCal. It's like this for us Asian-Americans everywhere, we're not just in California, you know. I, personally, am willing to go out and buy this movie myself just because of what it means to Asian-Americans.

Seems like you have to meet some more people cause people like this really do exist in socal. I know so many people who do fuckin well in school but toke all the time. Ever heard of Berkley?

Seems you know everything about Asians and Asian-Americans, especially interesting since you're not Asian or Asian-American. You're entitled to your opinion about the movie. Did you know that this movie was based on a real-life event involving Asian-Americans?
mykalroze 4 years ago 2
really? Well who knows I could be wrong. THe area im from has a very good school and my school is alomst 50 percent asian. Even the most hardcore ones (asian pride) dont act like this...especially not the kind that get into good schools. This combo reeks of a sort of pretension and insecurtiy intelligent asian kids have of dismembering an old stereotype. WHat ends up happening is that it comes of as a farce.
bakdgreat 4 years ago
Being an outsider to something can never be the same as being part of it. So knowing many Asian-Americans can never replace the experience of being Asian-American. I've encountered plenty of people who aren't Asian, but they go around as if they know all about Asian culture and Asian people, and I just shake my head.
mykalroze 4 years ago
alright man ill give u that. At least in the are im from, i doubt it. By the way almost 3/4 of my friends are asians, and ive known them since middle school but I DO live in a bubble called IRVINE CA so yah point conceded.

I grew up in Irvine, lived there most of my life... so I'm well aware about Irvine, and it's definitely a bubble, one full of ignorance, of superficiality and much snobbery.

bakdgreat 4 years ago
At that high school in Fullerton, a smart kid planned to murder another Asian-American he feared. Like in the movie, the plotter once had a crush on a cheerleader. He got four of his friends to help, they waited in a garage for him, he was beaten with a sledgehammer, rubbing alcohol then poured into his mouth, which they duct taped shut and he died, and they buried his body in the backyard.
mykalroze 4 years ago
bakdgreat u idiot, the movie pretty much is a true story. sorry to burst your little sheltered bubble but this really did happen IN southern california involving ivy league bound students who attended sunny hills high school, which most would consider a pretty good school. you hating on this movie without knowing any of the facts. i suggest you go to google and type in stuart tay. expand your knowledge and pop that little bubble of ignorance you hiding behind.
