There is little doubt that cinema wouldn't be the same without Jackie Chan. The screen legend has single-handedly introduced a dynamic fighting choreography that became a trademark in all his action-comedy films. So it's no surprise that Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings has paid tribute to the Asian superstar in a new clip.
The new Shang-Chiclip is titled Does He Look Like He Can Fight? and it features Shang-Chi being threatened by some men who demand that he hand over a pendant. His friend Katy insists that they have the wrong guy, asking one of the men, "Does he look like he can fight?" However, the man is unconvinced and pushes Katy away.
The unnecessary attack on Katy pushes Shang-Chi into action and at one point, he fends off one man with the help of his jacket. He manages to disarm all his attackers, much to Katy's shock.
It's a jaw-dropping action sequence that clearly pays homage to Chan's style. Chan has used a jacket to confuse a bad guy several times in his movies and it's great to see that The Legend of the Ten Rings makes sure to pay tribute to that. With that in mind, we can't wait to see Shang-Chi in theaters next month.
Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and stars Simu Liu, Awkwafina, Awkwafina, Meng'er Zhang, Fala Chen, Florian Munteanu, Benedict Wong, Michelle Yeoh, and Tony Leung. The film will premiere on September 3, 2021.
