re: Tendo-- I couldn't even catch the guy's name half the time and he was white as white can be so it didn't quite matter to me, but yeah, yet another wasted character imo. Halfway thru the movie I was kind of wishing that was a more visible POC. I like the idea of all Stacker's immediate subordinates being lighter-skinned them him, but still.
Re: Hannibal Chau-- His character is a right bastard and I can see that kind of appropriation being exactly the kind of thing he would do for coolness points (taking on a Chinese surname would make sense for doing business where he is, imo). I couldn't pin down where I'd seen Perlman before, but I did like him and his character (altho there was the moment of dislike where I thought he was going to break up my nerd-romance OTP).
