the only reason i want to see it is because at the end of the trailor it has this text
bruce lee - the master
Jackie Chan - the comic
Jet Li - the prodigy
Tony Jaa - the distroyer
it is totaly wrong to place any mans name next to bruce lee's in this context it is disrespectful. alot of people in the shaolin/kung fu community are outraged by this boy whos only trainig is in Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, Swordplay, and Gymnastics comparing himself to kung fu masters. it would be diferent if he studied a formal martial arts but this just smaks of hubris. i refer to muay thai and tae kwon do is non formal martial arts because they are perversions of classical wing chun and classical kung fu. this makes them less respected in the kung fu world because their dilute versions of a true art. its like taking 'stary night' and cutting of the corner and selling the piece on ebay as an origional masterpiece. keep in mind that all martial eastern arts (and most that arn't eastern) come from the shaolin temple.
the only actor that is accepted as a conduit for bruce lee's vison (other than his son) is donny yen jet li is not because he is to formal in his style, to rigid (see fist of legend, the remake of fist of furry).
