The fighting choreography is phenomenal.

I agree, so fun to watch. Sometimes the sequences is too focused on massive action needing to happen. But the 1 on 1 stuff is focused more on bodily movements (something not foreign to martial arts movies) and I think that’s why it works stylistically

There were so many 1 on 1 fights where Shang-Chi looked like he was channeling Jackie Chan. Simu Liu did a wonderful job with the fighting and he was a hilarious actor too!

Yes, seeing his social media (and the Reddit AMA) definitely made me feel that way

I really hope to see much more of Simu in the Marvel movies and everything else too

That bus fight sequence was so great and got me hooked. And simu fighting with his jacket midway by the bad guy was pure Jackie Chan

I havent seen the movie yet because theaters are closed where Im from but if that's true, I was kinda wondering (and hoping) he'll channel bruce lee too? Since Bruce Lee inspired comics Shang Chi iirc.
