Interesting facts

Shopping for Fangs is a 1997 black comedy film directed by Quentin Lee and Justin Lin, starring Radmar Agana Jao. The film marks the debut of actor John Cho.

Production

The film's budget was less than $100,000 and had a filming schedule of 21 days in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley. The film was partially funded with a Canada Council grant. Lee and Lin separated the filming between themselves, with Lee filming the part with Katherine and Lin filming the part with Phil. The term "GenerAsian X" may have been coined because of this film's release, with the X later being removed.

Lee said in a 2012 interview, "Shopping for Fangs is about finding connections, which is a theme that threads through all my movies." He also said, "It’s hard to quantify cultural impact, but certainly years after, scholars and critics are still talking about Shopping for Fangs." He added, "In our culture now we tend to think of people as having fixed identities.
