For the record, though, Lo Pan had to marry a girl with green eyes because wasn't that the rule laid down by the Chinese god whatsisname? And since Chinese girls don't "come with green eyes" then his chances of finding a suitable woman are slim and none? I don't know why he decides to marry Gracie, though. She's white. And if a white chick counts then why didn't he marry one sooner? Wait, I forgot. The story doesn't matter. This movie is a fucking classic.
