in the first movie it was christian slater and then they turned the character into some korean dude it's to funny and it doesn't make any sense atleast get an actor that looks somewhat like christian slater to try and keep some sense of continuity.
shareAnd yet you don't seem to have any problems with Hollywood putting white actors in roles that should have gone to Asians, or putting black actors in roles that were supposed to be white. Uh huh.
the fact that this bothers you shows how far the viewing public has to go for the other races to achieve parity with black entertainers. I wonder if the Asians, the browns, the Native Americans, etc. will EVER get the 'preferential treatment' of black actors/actresses (who BTW are amazingly talented but I'm talking about opportunity here. You can't prove your acting chops if you can't get a foot in the door. )

You are stupid.
Give him a gun and he's superman. Give him two and he thinks he's a god.
Maybe the director wanted him to play a character, and not an ethnicity?
"...as long as people can change, the world can change"
You guys are kind of missing the point. He's not being racist, it's just that the character is so radically different that it's almost ridiculous that they claim he's "On another adventure" when he doesn't even remotely look like Christian Slater. What happened? Did he get his face blown up and have to have reconstructive surgery or something? It's a matter of continuity, not racism.
shareAnother good example is in the film series "Witchcraft", where in one movie they change the lead from a Male to a Female. No explanation given. Doesn't it just seem odd? What if in the next Die Hard they made John McClane female and acted like nothing had changed and it were in the same continuity?
shareI don't get it, because I see a character, so anyone could play him. There are some roles where my mind says Nope. But this wasn't one of them.

@matt, likely going after name draw. Overall the plot sucked and this ended in an utterly horrible movie. There literally is NO reason for Carnby to be in this movie at all. Just name sync. He played no usable roll whatsoever. Yune is not that good of an actor regardless, so it's got to be name and availability. Other then some of the best abs in Hollywood, he has no charisma from what I've seen of his work.
@StoneGriffin is being a complete racist dick. But instead of attacking racism he's using it as a bludgeon. Hypocritical POS likely. It's VERY obvious the OP wasn't remotely being racist nor even bringing up an impertinent point. It's very obvious and very dis-orientating to change the major character draw in a movie without a good reason. And Yune and his 'Carnby' character were pointless in this script. Overall lame.
@first is being highbrow and ignorant. Race is a part of a every character. Again, VERY few roles and actors can jump that wall. And wall it is. That's why it's not done. It breaks the continuity and draws people out of the experience. 99% of these changes in character basis fail, and the majority utterly fail. And there is NO way these directors were doing 'character' studies. Time, budget, and availability is how these types of movies roll.
Stick that in your 2013 five years after OP ass crack.
