In fact, let's not use dancers, let's use Mimes in the title role.

Sure this pop-star Rain does not doesn't have any right to remake any Bruce Lee film. However, I believe that however bad this movie turns out to be it's going to inspire a new generation of youngsters to search out more martial-arts films. Eventually leading to new genre fans learning about the better films, may be popularising the latest Donnie Yen or Tony Jaa film, bringing higher-quality Asian action to the UK/US... May be even more cinema releases? Sorry to go against the flow of the posts here but surely this is giving to be a good thing.

I give him credit for his romance comedy role in Full House, but I definitely can't picture him whooping someone's ass in a Bruce Lee remake. And plus he's not Chinese, it should be a Chinese martial arts actor like Donny Yen. Donny Yen's had extensive training in MMA, wing chun, wushu, and other martial arts, plus he starred in a Fist of Fury Chinese Hong Kong series in the mid 90's. I thought Donny did a good job in portraying Chen Zhen. A lot of Chinese people are gonna be pissed if Rain takes on the role.

This story has one and only one thing similar to Enter the Dragon, and that is the word “Dragon” in the title. After that, there's no similarity at all in the plot lines.

I do think it's pretty low to try and use this kind of crappy marketing technique though.

Everyone who's anyone knows that you could never outdo or show up Lee. And I find it funny that they may use Rain for this role, because Bruce always said that the lead for a martial arts film should be a real martial artist.

R.I.P. Bruce Lee
