Awesome Asian Bad Guys (AABG) is a 5-episode action comedy web series that’s a cross between The Expendables and Dumb & Dumber. Filmmaker Stephen Dypiangco & Patrick Epino tell you the inspiration for the webseries, “When we were growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, we’d often see hard-hitting Asian bad guys in flicks like Die Hard, Bloodsport & Karate Kid 2. These badasses were cool, but they’d only have a 2-minute lifespan before they were killed or beaten to a pulp. It sucked that you barely saw them on screen and rarely got to know them. That’s why we want to expand upon this largely ignored slice of pop culture history by following several Asian bad guys on their own action-packed adventure – AWESOME ASIAN BAD GUYS!”
The webseries storyline follows two filmmakers who rush to assemble a volatile group of Asian bad guy actors to take down LA’s most nefarious mobster. But in order to pull off their tricky mission, this unpredictable batch of misfits must do the one thing they hate most – work together. Bad Guys rule. Especially Asian ones. They’ve already assembled an awesome cast including Al Leong, Yuji Okumoto, Tamlyn Tomita, Randall Park, and Aaron Takahashi with more coming soon.
