IMO, nothing wrong with it. It is a reference to a geographically recognized/accepted part of the globe, AKA the Orient.

I know that Don and I got into it pretty strongly a couple of years ago and the mods shut it down. I have no desire to revisit that scene.

, the most anticipated movie I'm waiting to see is "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" in 2021. Shang-Chi was most definitely inspired by Bruce Lee and the comics hit the stores right after "Enter the Dragon" was released. I am looking forward to seeing Tony Leung as the villain, more so than Simu Liu. Tony didn't learn martial arts until he was 46 years old when he took on the main role of Ip Man (Bruce Lee's teacher) for "The Grandmaster".

I have Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story in my library, to this day I can't figure out why it bombed at the box office. Don't know that much about Tony Leung, Simu Liu was trained in wrestling and Kung Fu from an early age.

Games of Death went incomplete, Bruce and Bolo Yung were choreographing a spectacular Finale when he died. Here's what it may have looked like.

 
Bolo had many students, among them Jean Claude van Dame and Yun Fat Chao (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)...and Brandon Lee.

Tony Leung (Chiu-Wai) is one of the premiere actors of this (or any other) generation, a 'Ralph Fiennes' style of classical thespian. Only Chow Yun-Fat equals him in cinematic Asian stature in regards to international recognition. Count Day-Lewis, Streep and Penn among his fan base.

His resume is outstanding with "Hard Boiled", "Infernal Affairs", "Hero", "In the Mood for Love", "Red Cliff", "Lust, Caution" and "The Grandmaster" included. Sought after all the A list directors, you can't go wrong with any film of his you would choose. Worth your time.

 
Grazie Marichal Don.

I've only seen three Chinese films, Hero being one of them. It's been a long time, I don't remember Tony Leung's part in it. I'll make sure to watch a few more in the build up to Shang Chi - but not Crazy Rich Asians...not into mendacity regardless of race.

It's been over four months since I watched Silence, I'm still troubled by it. It could be Martin Scorsese's greatest achievement and the best film of the past decade.

Here is the epic scene from "Hero" where Tony Leung ("Broken Sword") takes on the Emperor. The entire film is a Cinematic Orgasm.


BTW, one of Tony's films mentioned previously, "Infernal Affairs" was remade in English on 2006 under the name "The Departed", winning the Best Picture Oscar. Tony's role was played in English by Leonardo DiCaprio.
 
I'll give Infernal Affairs a look. It's clear now that he wasn't Jin in House of Flying Daggers.
