A couple risks their lives in the name of all things fabulous in this
comedy of errors, set against the backdrop of West Hollywood's annual Halloween Parade.
Wasabi Tuna's title refers to the ho-hum sushi costumes that boyfriends Harvey (
Barney Cheng) and Evan (
Jason London) have dreamed up for themselves and their friends to wear to the big bash. But when their sassy pall Emme (
Alanna Ubach) offers up another suggestion -- that they dress as hardcore East L.A. gangstas -- the couple jumps at the chance. However, when the boutiques on Rodeo Drive don't yield the authentic ghetto fashions they need, the friends hit the streets to beg, steal, or borrow what it takes to "look the part," and end up the unwitting carriers of an illegal cache of gang weaponry. Co-starring
Antonio Sabato Jr.,
SNL funnyman
Tim Meadows, and
reality-TV widow
Anna Nicole Smith (playing herself),
Wasabi Tuna received a limited West Coast release in the spring of 2004.
