Efforts Philippa Ng on copying a fighting style Bruce Leeshown in the film "Once upon a time in Shanghai", did not go unnoticed. In a new joint American-Chinese project “Birth of the Dragon"(Birth of the Dragon) Philip will have to embody the on-screen image of the famous master. The plot of the film is dedicated to the semi-legendary story of the fight between Bruce Lee and the Shaolin master Wong Jack Man, which took place in 1964 in Auckland. People continue to argue about who emerged victorious to this day. One thing is certain: it was after his fight with Wong that Bruce Lee realized that it was necessary to rethink his knowledge and skills in the field of martial arts, and as a result he invented his own unique style.
In the film, the events of that long-ago story will be told from the point of view Steve McKee, a student at a martial arts school whose sympathies are torn between two masters. This role is gone Billy Magnussen, who recently starred in Steven Spielberg's "Bridge of Spies" The role of Master Wong will be played by a famous actor in mainland China. Yu Xia. A famous master of the combat genre was involved in staging the fight choreography Corey Yuen.

Maybe it was Jet Li? I remember he had a film “from cradle to grave” where he fought with fighters in the octagon.
Guys, please tell me the name of the film about Bruce Lee (or rather his double), where he got into a cage with mixed martial arts fighters. I saw a trailer a long time ago, I don’t know if the movie was released.
Alexey,
Maybe it was a trailer for a UFC game?)
As far as I know, Bruce also had lost fights)...
The main thing is the overall result of your life.
P ... c!
I am absolutely delighted with the intelligence of our Russian citizens! Where can I watch it?
Yes, it’s lying around on YouTube... Just think, what a deal... Just a closed duel in the 60s with 12 witnesses. Definitely removed and multiplied.
Oh times...oh morals.... That's what you can say here.... And they also say there are no Russian comedies...
Jaidev,
Correctly noted, and I see there are comedians too). The news does not say that it is closed, nor does it say about the number of witnesses, and I personally don’t know anything about this, firstly. Secondly, I had reason to believe that somewhere it was possible, because, despite these long years ago, I saw several videos of those times with the participation of Bruce Lee.
jack krauser,
But what? We always approach life with humor. There is no way without this now.

And everything is written down in detail.
As for some videos from those times, there is still nothing intelligible with Bruce from the chronicle. Some clippings from public competitions, from a training session near Bruce’s house, pieces with little Brandon. Somewhere I even saw young street brawls. But they are of such terrible quality + they fly by at the speed of light. The Chronicle of ENTER THE DRAGON and THE GAME OF DEATH can be ignored. This applies to films. I don’t count the famous interview about the interpretation of style, action and water + casting for the film The Green Hornet.
I don’t understand one fact at all - there have been so many screenings of his films and there is practically nothing. Neither from the premiere nor from further moments. Strange. Although the Japanese are still those shots...they love to shoot anything they can get their hands on as advertising and product promotion.
Shaolin master in 1964 what is this?
jean,
This is a real incident from the life of Bruce Lee. Here's more detail: https://fight-films.info/nachalsya-kasting-na-rol-bryusa-li-v-rozhdenii-drakona-birth-of-the-dragon/
barsug,
Is it possible to watch the fight somewhere?
I don’t think so... only in the movies... there were several witnesses on both sides and that’s it. Hardly anyone was filming.
