Diggin` in, and pumping up already established legend seems to be Hollywood specialty,
very small / if any / connection with reality and shallow script makin` it farting in emptiness, in most of the cases.

but,
men, this is just a move, Hollywood's for that matter, , they trying to make money in the 1st, rest is secondary.

looks like fan fiction to me and homage (hollywood version) to the movies that got made soon after Bruce Lee's death in asia. Portraying accounts of Bruce Lee's alleged fights and adventures while he was still alive starring names such as Bruce, Li, Lo, Pi, Chen ...? all vying to make a name for themselves. In similar vain to the blaxpoitation movies that came out in the 80's and early 90's but yeah all about money.

windwalker: A friend of mine went to review a movie with his teacher, that will be out in the summer time about the fight between bruce lee, and wong jack man.

My friends teacher, wong jack man, felt that the movie was ok, being a movie my friend mentioned it showed a neutral rendering of the event

The film centers around the story behind the legendary 1960s fight between Shaolin Master Wong Jack Man and a young Bruce Lee. I don't know if you're familiar with this story or not but it's pretty crazy and there's a lot of controversy surrounding it. Here's the synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of 1960s San Francisco, BIRTH OF THE DRAGON is a modern take on the classic movies that Bruce Lee was known for. It takes its inspiration from the epic and still controversial showdown between an up-and-coming Bruce Lee and kung fu master Wong Jack Man - a battle that gave birth to a legend. https://geektyrant.com/news/trailer-for ... the-dragon

looks like the movie is out.

Sounds like a fantasy movie cashing in on the Bruce Lee legend. From what I have heard Jackman Wong was not a Chinatown hit man, he was from the mainland and probably recruited by businessmen to teach BL a lesson. My teacher [also not a favorite with Chinatown] was offered a similar deal but turned it down, he didn't want to get involved with the Chinatown politics

I think that gives you a good indication of what the movie will be aboutthe
