I’ve been customizing the presentation jellyfin library, and this caused me to notice that the only brown faces visible on any of the thumbnails is on Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon. I probably should be more cultured than this. What movies about non-white characters do y’all think I should add to my collection?

BTW, if you haven’t watched The Last Dragon, go watch it right now. It’s like if Kung Fu Panda took place in Harlem; sure, our protagonist Leeroy “Bruce Leeroy” Green starts the movie at a level of kung-fu mastery that Po doesnt achieve until Kung Fu Panda 3, but the plotline is pretty similar to the 1st movie in that Leeroy is sent on a quest to find a wise master known as Sum Dum Guy so he can reach the final level. Leeroy also is a fucking weeb and never stops being a socially inept dorky loser to the end of the film. I will warn you, though, that the martial arts is very Shaolin from the start and only gets crazier from there, in case that’s a dealbreaker for you. Either way it’s my favorite movie.
