AWESOME ASIAN BAD GUYS Gets A Multiplatform Release Date!
It’s been about three years since National Film Society’s own Stephen Dypianco and Patrick Epino pitched their vision for a crowdfunded film lining up some of the most memorable Asian villains in action cinema history. To date, having circulated their final product in the form of the new action comedy, Awesome Asian Bad Guys with much appeal from fans around North America and Canada, the movie is finally being made available for the home-viewing public on June 23.
What happened to the actors that played that one Asian villain in your favorite childhood action flicks? Well, it turns out that they teamed up with the National Film Society to avenge the wrongful death of Tamlyn Tomita’s twin sister, Pamlyn, in AWESOME ASIAN BAD GUYS. Directors Patrick Epino and Stephen Dypiangco assembled the AWESOME ASIAN BAD GUYS for the very characters that they portrayed on film and what they do best — kick butt.
A screwball comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously, AWESOME ASIAN BAD GUYS is directors Patrick Epino and Stephen Dypiangco’s homage to the actors who played iconic, yet paradoxically nameless Asian villains on the silver screen. This tribute has Al Leong, Yuji Okumoto and George Cheung playing themselves in an almost life-imitating-art caricaturization of their most recognizable roles.

Can someone Identify this movie it maybe an Action or Martial art movie. I saw back in 94 or 95 I’m not sure if it was made then it may have been the 80s really not sure the name or the actors. What I do recall is a gory part in this film. I think this takes place maybe in a bar with 2 guys the one guy grabs this big bearded guy gets him in a arm lock slowly starts twisting his arm around until the bone pops out then tears his arm off completely I think it was about gangsters or maybe drug dealers maybe. I also remember towards the end this Asian bad guy with a goatee gets his head blown right off by the same guy who tore the other guys arm off I have looked and looked online but cant not find it. This is the only description I can give of this movie
