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.

b) My beautiful Laundrette

Was that very lovely young man from Buddha of Suburbia ever in a movie?

I know I've seen him on stage but I can't recall his name. I just looked him up - Naveen Andrews.

He's been in lots of stuff according to filmbase.

Then, for Asian romantic leads, you have the whole of Bollywood... I'm wondering if that was what was meant.

I think it'd be a bit redundant to look for Asian romantic leads in Bollywood or Oriental cinema, as all romantic leads are likely to be Asian.

I think I fail to understand the question.

I'll get my coat...
