So glad to see you continuing this series, these are all great stuff. Love Victor Wong, Big Trouble in Little China is one of my favorite movies.

Thank you for creating such a lovely piece about this icon. I had no idea about his journalistic or political histories going into this, but it makes sense how that informed his acting and roles and I'm leaving with even more respect for his impact and work.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! For every video I've made, I learn something about the subject that surprises me, but I think the research for this video had the most surprises. I also recommend this article on Victor if you're interested in learning more about him: www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content/the-last-days-of-victor-wong/9103/.

I watched 3 Ninjas when I was pretty young. I always mistaked Victor Wong for Pat Morita 😅
