: Hey did any of you people realise this? 1984 seemed to sort of be a
: year featuring funny Chinese kids in hit films. First, the most
: obvious to us, is good ol' Short Round in Indiana Jones and the
: Temple of Doom , the 2nd is Long Duck Dong from Sixteen
: Candles . Hmmm... interesting coincidence. Also, in the opening
: sequence of Gremlins, there is a Chinese kid who dresses a little bit
: like Short Round (with the baseball cap and all) but isn't acting
: funny and doesn't have the accent. Any thoughts on this? (Especially
: the people who were old enough to remember 1984 unlike some people who
: were about 2 when ToD opened in theatres :)

What about him as Data in the Goonies...? OK so it was 1985, but
Wu-Han (David Yip) was his dad in that after all...!
