actually it's not because she was not hmong..the specific i heard was that if they cant find a hmpong girl that they like or want then they will make yi fei the actress...but they found someone so thats y they did not take her...

Ahahahahah... The guy playing the role of Tao or whatever his name is, ahahahahha... That is a buddy of mine's younger brother, so I guess I have to support this film. Its actually rather sad though. I missed the auditions when it was in MN but oh well. I would've been a better gangster than some of those guys. I found that kinda funny that all my friends say the same thing and here I am an almost white washed hmong guy. LOLS... :lol:

i wanted to watch it for my birthday--on the 12 when it came out in "select cities" but i didn't wanna drive all the way to L.A. so i guess we'd all have to wait until it officially goes out wide? next month on the 16?

mane that really suckx...if it did come out this month it would probably get big ratings...
plus most the reviews i've read have been really good except -0ne
but w/e cant wait to watch it!!!!

It wasn't the best film but I enjoyed it. The Hmong cast needs to improve on the acting skills but it was okay. I learned some life lessons from it so its good.

I believe Sue was out with friends and was attacked and raped by the gang. That's what I remembered hearing from Walter when he was confronting the gangs in front of their apartments in the end.
