It is fair to say that the parents of Andy and Brian Le pulled no punches in their opposition to the brothers' decision to become martial artists.

"And I don't blame them either," says Andy Le. "Obviously, like most Asian parents, they wanted us to become a doctor, lawyer, accountant, anything with a stable income. They came [to the US] and went through a lot of hardships to give us a better life, so they wanted us to live a stable life. But something went wrong with us. We accidentally believed our own hype a little too much and now we're working in feature films."
