Birth of the dragon

This is my review on Birth Of The Dragon movie

No.62 Home

About the movie: 

Set against the backdrop of 1960s San Francisco, BIRTH OF THE DRAGON is a modern take on the classic movies that Bruce Lee was known for. It takes its inspiration from the epic and still controversial showdown between an up-and-coming Bruce Lee and kung fu master Wong Jack Man – a battle that gave birth to a legend.

Overall: 

I’ve been putting off watching this for ages after hearing negative reviews but finally took one for the team and I’ve got to say I loved it,

From what I had heard the first cut was heavily focused on the American Guy and not Bruce Lee or IP Man well the second edit works very well and told a great story, Philip Ng the guy that play Bruce Lee absolutely nails it, the way he talks, acts, fights and moves is just like watching Bruce Lee I was so impressed. Good story, great action and brilliant acting.

Verdict: well worth a watch 

 

Review: 4/5

 

Fun facts: Martial artist, actor, and stuntman Mike Moh campaigned for the role of Bruce Lee in the film.
