No Jackie Chan?

I know they only had a limited amount of time, but I was under the impression that Jackie Chan is such an international powerhouse and also very popular in America. Strange that there's not even a mention of him in this documentary.

There's no George Takai, either. I wonder if this has to do with not getting licensing rights to their work.

Very strange.

This film deals with Asian-Americans actor, not imported Asian actors like Jackie Chan. I was also surprised the film didn't mention George Takei but there was a brief snippet of him acting in some film as well a brief photo of Sulu in the montage of actors at the end.
