For geeky RPG related reasons...

Can anyone think of:

a) a film which features heroic Arabs, other than the 13th Warrior, or anything with Omar Sharif. If you can think of a sci-fi film which does this I'll love you forever, but I accept that 'Arabs in Space' is a niche market.

b) a film which features an Asian male as the romantic lead. If anyone can name me a film in which Jet Li gets laid, I'll be very happy too, but that's purely for personal reasons.

*big hopeful eyes*

For the last part, try Romeo Must Die. Not seen it in years, but might qualify.

He doesn't get laid in that. He doesn't even get a snog. I am still bitter about this, you know...

You are an odd and peculiar person, you know..

It's a general rule in Hollywood film that Asian guys don't get much in the way of romance, especially with non-Asian female leads.

I wonder if Jet Li's sexlessness has anything to do with the fact that Hong Kong's film censorship was *much* more strict than ours for a long time (and may still be).
