THE CAST OF JOY RIDE: Our Wild Journey!

During a pivotal scene in the bawdy buddy comedy Joy Ride-which centers on four friends who go on a business trip turned gloriously wrong-the characters, played by Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu, Ashley Park and Sabrina Wu, are forced to hide a not-small amount of illegal substances on their persons while on a train traveling through China. "The moment that I had so much fun was when we were stuffing drugs everywhere and just inhaling all of the pills," says Cola, who plays the wisecracking Lolo. "I felt like Lucille Ball in that scene with the [chocolates] and the assembly line." Probably not what Ball envisioned as the legacy of her iconic I Love Lucy scene, but then again Joy Ride (original title: Joy F--- Club) is all about reinvention. Produced, written and directed by Asian women and starring four top-rising talents, the film makes strides in representation but also channels universal themes. "There's also so much humor, heart and horniness and vulnerability, discovering who you are, your chosen family," says Cola. "And we all just happen to be Asian."

The film opens with a scene where a little boy taunts young Lolo and her friend Audrey on a playground-and Lolo punches him out. Have any of you had similar real-life experiences?

SHERRY COLA I think all of us had that fire, but we didn't actually execute. Baby Lolo punching out that little White kid is for everyone who has wanted to do that their whole lives.
