Next thing we'll see Awkwafina in a Wong fu short.

[@ilai7893]

Love how there were so many actual Asian mythical creatures incorporated, along with dialogue in Mandarin and shout outs to Wu Xia films/ Kung Fu Hustle/ Rush Hour (e.g. fighting in the building lattice)

[@Jian158]

Was blessed to be able to watch it in theatre yesterday here in Singapore. As much as the significance of the Asian culture is being represented, I can’t emphasise enough how much it is a beautifully written story throughout, great choreography, great humour, great family relationship, that relates to everybody. Love and enjoy every moment of it.

[@DT-hu8op]

At 13:50, when Taylor said to Phil "the fact that they remember and acknowledge Wong Fu ... is so dope", that was amazing. Genuine pride and emotion right there. Good stuff guys

[@UserInterface00]

Nora’s ascension in Hollywood is an amazing story in itself and now a Golden Globe award winning actress.

[@ltsTheLaww25]

Shang Chi was soooo good. Had everything. Nods to Asian American culture, traditional wushu style fights with wire work, dynamic and hard hitting fights with awesome choreography that I can see(I'm looking at you Snake Eyes with the shaky cam), excellent character development, great pacing and so much more. Hoping that Wong Fu Productions can be involved in future sequels. Maybe it's time to venture into some action videos to show what you guys are capable of.

[@junl5936]

Yes! And they have action movie experience from Ryan Higa’s Agents of Secret Stuff movie 😹

[@larrymoua9885]

I was too caught up with Simu Liu and the entire cast of Shang-Chi that I only just discovered Destin Daniel Cretton is the director! Absolutely one of my favorite indie film directors. Also props to him for pointing out what makes old school Hong Kong action films click; it's storytelling first, then the choreography. Super excited to watch the film this weekend!

I just saw Shang-Chi a few hours ago. I’m a first generation Filipino-American, so many of our cultures are still intact in our family. Seeing the accuracy of Asian representation and how well the entire movie was filmed, choreographed, and especially storytelling, was SO well done. Made me tear up a few times, and awkwafina was the perfect person for her character. Loved it

[@obiekat53]

Awkwafina has now been in two groundbreaking Asian led films, I can't wait to see what she does next. Can't wait to see Shang-Chi

[@jjstarrprod]

4, actually, with the Farewell, Crazy Rich Asians, and Raya the last dragon.

[@bigbaggoyard]

CRA doesn't count.

[@jjstarrprod]

@@bigbaggoyard lol, why not ? It's an entirely Asian cast movie, was written by an Asian author, produced by an Asian producer, and directed by an Asian director, and every single of them had the importance of Asian representation in mind when they made the movie.

[@gabrielp9646]

@@bigbaggoyard World: First Hollywood movie with an entire Asian cast in 25 years. Bigbaggoyard: "That one doesn´t count!"

[@szewei85]

Hahahaha

[@FelicityTrinh]

I’m so bummed that we’re all locked down here in Sydney so we can’t even go to the cinemas, but can’t wait to see and support the movie! These interviews are killing me!

[@Yangtaonewage]

This interview is one of the best! Kinda a shame that the youtube algorithm didn't show it to more people.

[@dyhppyx]

Wong Fu really deserves all the positive accolades they get

[@dhzimmers]

That was rightful, gracious gesture when Deston Cretton acknowledged how good the Wong Fu productions are.

[@leelandluver]

I just saw it today! (Came out earlier in Korea.) I enjoyed it sooo much! So crazy and cool that Awkwafina is in the MCU now! I really loved her character in the movie. And so awesome to see them doing interviews on WongFu. It’s just a testament to what a pillar WongFu is for the Asian community.

[@user-zr4dg3xq2u]

Can’t wait to see this tonight and contribute to another piece of Asian American history! Update: it’s fucking good

[@jjstarrprod]

Woooh, that was a fantastic interview ! Super glad for you guys to have had the occasion to do it, having Awkwafina fangirling about you, AND Destin saying that he loves your work and has seen almost all of them, that must have been such a fantastic moment for you guys ! So, what up for a collab on Shang Chi 2 !? Or Yappie 2 ^^ (we can always dream, can we ?). And I'm surprised you guys haven't filmed anything at the red carpet event. I saw some of you strolling in during the Live event, and I was like "Hey, is that Phil in the background !? Rocking a great looking crimson suit !"

[@LuisHuangSF]

Fun interview. Shang-Chi met all my expectations and totally kicked butt. Must watch in theaters.

[@YouTubeDave-tp7ij]

I loved the movie! It's our own Black Panther. :P Yellow Panther! LOL WokHonda Forever! Seriously, such a great movie. I loved how it all came together. Great interview guys.

[@chowder2260]

Thanks so much for this interview. I just saw the movie and it was absolutely insane!!!! And am so so happy that Dustin acknowledged what AMAZING filmmakers Wongfu Productions is… You guys so deserve the acknowledgement!!!

[@Rockologist]

Even years ago I've always loved WongFu...If I was a millionaire I would be throwing money at them to make videos for me to cry and laugh to. Hopefully someone someday picks them up and gives them that freedom to create!

[@kingmanic]

I wonder if the youtube grind is holding them back?

[@Phailup]

9:58 I love that Awkwafina mentions Chris Cowan. I've been following his youtube (Rivenx3i) forever and he makes insane action sequences. I can't wait to see what he brought in Shang Chi!

[@erictam7695]

Hell yea bro appreciate Chris cowan

[@ltsTheLaww25]

Oh really? I've been subbed to Rivenx3i for a long time also. I love all their videos and mini movies.

[@awwwkitteh]

Wongfu is the best! Great interview. An actual sit down lunch break would be amazing. If they're in town, would love to see that.

[@raven50x]

I feel like Nora really opens up when she talks to Wong Fu. #fangirl

[@akmaldanial67]

Why is she called Nora?

[@samanthaubaldo]

@@akmaldanial67 Nora is her real name

[@jessiegoodman9380]

Means a lot to Asian American communities.

[@dy12255]

Aww this was great! Wish there was more time for the interview but I'm so excited to see Shang Chi this weekend! I hope tons of people see it to so we can see more Asian Americans on the big screen!

[@kingmanic]

I wonder if Simu will drop by when the press tour is over; which is why he wasn't on that call.

[@stephaniekao8831]

Awkwafina is So Funny, Cute and one of the Best actresses Ever!! Also, Such a Great movie!!

[@49ers1975]

[@gotmoresoul]

Awkwafina is so damn DOPE in every way.

Maybe Wong Fu can direct the sequel? Lol.
