John Wick/Deadpool 2 Director Plans to Shoot Career in the Foot by Remaking 'Enter the Dragon'
- Thread starter ManaByte

No that would be the 2016 "biopic" distributed by the WWE and starring an ahistorical white "friend" of Lee who falls in love with a chinese girl.
Article on how overrated the original Enter The Dragon was

Enter the Dragon is a pretty mediocre film from a filmmaking perspective, but it worked because Bruce Lee was made to be put in front of a camera. I'm not sure who is out there that has even a quarter of the on-screen charisma that Lee had, because you're just working with a ho-hum tournament plot otherwise.
Good article. I pretty much agree with it on all points. I acknowledge Enter the Dragon's place in history, but its not a top tier martial arts film. Honestly, wouldn't even crack my own top 20.
See this is my biggest issue. I could understand if there was some star or up and comer that had it all and you wanted to build your remake around him. However I'm less confident if you first got the rights to the film and now your trying to find somebody to fill those shoes.
There's always that pro Bruce Lee impersonator who already played him a few times.
That is, if they want to cast Chinese actors in the first place.
Dead
I don't know why you'd ever remake this. Take out Bruce Lee, and it's not even a good movie.
Deadpool 2 already made that clear.

Was gonna say, half the people in here cheerleading this as automatically good, I look forward to being right here for your thoughts when the first name cast is the star, white guy x
Ooooh shiiiitOhhh now I get it
I've never caught that, despite watching both repeatedly!
If the director can make Keanu look good in John Wick, I'm sure he could do great things with Andy Lau in the starring role here.
it will most likely be way better than the original. original was carried by Lee, but was mediocre in every other aspect
Ehh. They have fucked with more classic movies than Enter the Dragon.
I just want to see big budget martial arts movies with good choreography again. Last thing that came close was headshot.

I'd rather Evans stuck to his own movies. He's a diehard fan of all things martial arts, but he got big by doing his own thing, rather than tying himself down to an existing legacy.
They aren't. They are going to make a separate movie that doesn't affect the original in any way, shape, or form.
I can't get behind people that hate remakes. Don't watch them if you don't like it. Let other people possibly become fans of a new movie
In cases like these I think it's better to make a spiritual successor rather than remakes but I'm generally I'm all for film remaking
I think they the worst thing is how Hollywood did Bruce Lee and still does actors of Asian descent. Even watching Mortal Kombat it's hard to believe an Asian actor would get to be the primary protagonist who kicks ass in a modern Hollywood film

If this were Game of Death then I would not be all that thrilled about it. Enter the Dragon on the other hand can be expanded and done better. That plot has been used so many times in video games, anime, comics, etc. Might as well use the plot for the real thing.
If this does happen, I'd like to see Danny Chan Kwok-Kwan take the lead role. I mean, he's already impersonated Bruce Lee before!
