Um now about the name of the brother, I was a like some online synopses, like the Wikipedia page for this movie calls his brother Chan Wing.
Though w when I was just re-watching it, I noticed I think the only time somebody said his full name in the movie, it was a boxing announcer who called him Chen Y.
Um, so I'm I I'm not sure which is more right than
right there, but um his brother is also uh quite successful in his own domain, which is kickboxing.
And they never talk about this from what I recall, but uh the it is implied later in the film that Chan Hung himself has previously had a career as a kickboxer.
Yeah.
So the film opens on a kickboxing match in Hong Kong with two fighters for the heavyweight championship.
And the fighters are uh Chen Hung's brother, Chen Wing or Chen Wai, and on the other the other side of the ring, a Thai boxer named Bu Bo.
That's the guy played by Bolo Young.
Yeah, so they're fighting and I might be a little bit confused about the rules of kickboxing because in this fight the tie boxer kicks Chan Wing in the back of the head between rounds while his back is turned.
I was like, wait, how is that not instant disqualification?
I think the ref says something like, If you keep that up, I'm going to disqualify you.
It seems like one time would be instant, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
It seemed more like pro wrestling rules than uh something that would fly in a fair competition.
But
Anyway, through this, uh and through uh so because he's like, you know, kicking him in the back of the head while his back's turned, and because he's just smugly grinning a lot, we get the idea that Bubo, the tie boxer, is a bad sportsman and a bad dude.
He's vicious, he doesn't fight fair, and he has no sense of honor or shame.
Now, there is no magic in this scene, which is an interesting choice that the movie does not begin with like a supernatural prologue or any indication of how weird it's gonna get.
From the opening scene, you could easily assume that this is just going to be a hard-hitting terrestrial kickboxer movie.
