Enter The Dragon With Stephen Chow?
I don’t know how I feel about this one. On one hand, I really like Stephen Chow and I think Green Hornet is actually going to do much worse than it could have had he been involved. My personal favorite Chow flick is Shaolin Soccer, but I’m also partial to Kung Fu Hustle. So, I respect him and his filmmaking and especially for what he’s been able to do with a North American audience.
But on hearing the news of Chow doing a remake of Enter The Dragon which is titled Tai Chi, I’m a little bit on the fence. Enter The Dragon is the epitome of a classic genre film. Growing up Asian in North America during the 80′s, there were really only two things I wanted to be. One was a hockey player, the other was Bruce Lee.
After reading through the brief synopsis of Tai Chi I can see this film being made by Chow. His Ben Stiller-like approach to parody is really fun – I’m just really unsure if this is going to come off as a slap in the face to one of the greatest flicks of all time.
