In 1984, the world was introduced to John Hughes as a director in his first feature film, 16 Candles. This film featured Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall and kicked off an entire era of '80s teen romantic comedies, the stuff Hughes is known for to this day. It also plays a loud gong sound every time its only Asian character shows up. Yikes.
