In the documentary "The Slanted Screen", Filipino American director Gene Cajayon talks about the revised ending for the 2000 action movie "Romeo Must Die", a retelling of "Romeo and Juliet" in which Aaliyah plays Juliet to Jet Li's Romeo. The original ending had Aaliyah kissing Chinese actor Li, which would have explained the title of Romeo, a scenario that did not test well with an urban audience. The studio changed the ending to Trish (Aaliyah) giving Han (Li) a tight hug. According to Cajayon, "Mainstream America, for the most part, gets uncomfortable with seeing an East Asian man portrayed in a sexual light."
