The planned remake for Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon has been criticised by Asian Americans and Bruce Lee fans following reports of a director being lined up for the project.

 

According to Deadline, Deadpool 2 director David Leitch is in discussions to helm the movie, but it has received condemnation on Twitter – including from actors Daniel Wu and Daniel Dae Kim.

 

Released in 1973, the original movie followed a Shaolin martial artist who enters a martial arts tournament on an island owned by a suspected crime lord named Han.

 

Many have questioned the decision to bring in Leitch – who is not Asian – as director, with Fast & Furious' Justin Lin and DC's Birds of Prey director Cathy Yan suggested as better alternatives.

That is a movie you simply can NOT remake. 

 

Ah, such happy memories; kicking peoole in the teeth and being kicked in the teeth. Still got that side-kick hidden away somewhere, even in my 60s.

Ahh only Asians are allowed to make chop & kick  films.

Racism is a two way street and with their logic, asians should not have been allowed to work on the set of  Driving Miss Daisy,  Selma,  Ben Hur,  etc.

Maybe only Asians will be allowed to buy tickets...

Amassing of how many people still think that Bruce Lee was any kind of a karate champion. Can anyone list any international tournaments that he won ?Date and location please. Okinawa's Okayama would have ate this actor alive.
