With action movies starring Asian male actors like Romeo Must Die, Cradle 2 the Crave, Kiss of the Dragon, and The One. All four were Oscar worthy action movies.

2 of those are DMX movies to me. Especially Cradle to the Grave. I think he had a much smaller role on RMD. I was so infatuated with DMX as a person back then tho. My early teen years. Now I'm sad.

Is casting asian men to leads in kung fu movies really that progressive Excuse me, "kung fu" movies? Allow me to educate you. Romeo Must Die was a subversive romantic comedy that broke the Asian male and black female pairing barrier. Cradle 2 the Crave was a geopolitical detective noir thriller, as it recognized Taiwan as a separate country in defiance of China. Kiss of the Dragon was a sophisticated heist film underlining domestic abuse as its motif, written and produced by the master Luc Besson. Finally, The One was an ahead-of-its-time sci-fi masterpiece that alluded to a Jet Li multiverse, which unfortunately never took off because the audience at the time was not ready for such an ambitious cross-over. Just because there were some fighting scenes dispersed throughout the four films does NOT mean they were "kung fu" movies. You have no idea how offended I am. --- Nintendo 3DS Friend Code: 3368 - 1137 - 5460 http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q155/Gamecubesupreme/sf7y9s.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!
