Well, that's why I was willing to give a pass up until that point- at that point she was doing stuff like Charlie's Angels, commercials, etc. - she wasn't hard up for roles or money.

Plus the whole movie is about asian submission to white folks - the men are faceless minions to be killed (and spanked for complete emasculation), but even her own role, involves not just her physical defeat, but her acknowledgement that Umma is a "better warrior" (code: asian) than she is before finally dying.

Ick.
