Bad guys are awesome, especially Asian ones! … Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, we’d always see hard-hitting Asian bad guys in flicks like Die Hard, Bloodsport, and Karate Kid 2. These badasses were often cooler than the heroes they fought, but they’d usually have a 2-minute lifespan before they were mortally wounded or beat to a pulp. It really sucked that you barely saw them on screen and rarely got to know them.
We want to celebrate Asian bad guys (and girls) and their continuing kick-ass contributions to pop culture history. To give these guys and gals their due, NAAAP Toronto and Reel Asian celebrates Awesome Asian Bad Guys with a special Canadian Premiere screening. Being an Awesome Asian Bad Guy is a lifestyle. It’s how you walk, how you talk, how you stroke your mustache. We believe that we should embrace the diabolical mastermind/henchman/crime boss/magical wizard/assassin who lives inside all of us!
