Original casting
While casting this film, Ryan Kemp the second script writer and co editor played a huge role. Kemp, of "Dude Productions" originally wanted a minority to play the role that eventually went to Dolph Lundgren. Kemp, was heavily criticized for his roll in the down fall of Pat Morita, as a result of his scripting of the 1980's smash hit show "Ohara". While on set of Ohara, Kemp and Morita were at odds over the shows tone and language use. Now, almost 30 years later Kemp is trying to reinvent himself, and market films to a more urban audience. Time will tell if he is successful. A great example of Kemp writing genius can be found in the smash hit mini series "Robocop: Prime Directives."
