What kind of Bruce Lee do you want?

Many people questioned the inappropriateness of Wu Yunlong to play Bruce Lee, but I really can't figure out who else is more suitable to play Bruce Lee than a handsome guy who has practiced martial arts and Wing Chun for many years and is a student of Ip Man. Others questioned that the film blackened Bruce Lee and played arrogantly without being a master. My God, in 1964, for a twenty-four-year-old, kung fu, a large group of apprentices, living Westernized kung fu young people, isn't it right to be competitive? Is the master trained overnight? As for the so-called Chinese who have vilified Chinatown, it is necessary to understand that period of history and not to make too many comments. If there are any shortcomings, Xia Yu is really not suitable for action movies, and part of Huang Zemin's history has been changed a little bit abruptly. In general, I really like Wu Yunlong's action design and fighting style, the rhythm is very good!

    Steve McKee: I'm fine.

    [he says weakly]

  • Wong Jack Man: I am not fighting for her, or for you, or for myself. Lee Jun-fan was correct: he is the future, he will bring kung-fu to the world. I can see that now. He has talent. Great talent and ambition. But what sort of kung-fu will he bring to the world? An angry thing? A hurtful thing? A thing to be bought and sold? Unless...

    Steve McKee: Unless what?

    Wong Jack Man: Unless he is waiting to be reborn.
