I was hesitant to see this... but I was wrong.

Very good movie. I am not a fan of Kung Fu so I didn't really want to see this but 2 years after it came out... I watched and glad I did. Marvel was silly to have this movie come out and then do nothing with it. Shang-Chi spent his life being trained to be a killer by his very scary dad but ran away when he was 15 and has been living the down low life for 10 years with his friend Katy in the USA. Loved their relationship. Katy is the one who leads in the USA but one day dad's goons come looking for Shang-Chi (Shaun in the USA) and Katy finds out her goofball friend has a lot he hasn't shared. But still she is a supportive friend who actually goes with him to face what must be done. There was one section of the movie that I wish was cut out completely - looking at you Ben Kingsley - but the goodwill from the first half of the movie overcomes the rest. Recommended. If Marvel was smart they would Shang-Chi 2 into production.

Trivia
In the late 1980s, Stan Lee had considered a film/TV series about Shang-Chi and had in mind Brandon Lee, son of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee, for the role. Shang-Chi was visually based on Bruce Lee so Brandon seemed a fitting choice, but the plan fell through.

Goofs
(at around 18 mins) It's nearly impossible for a bus to run away with its (air)brake lines cut. Instant air pressure in the brake system is the only thing keeping the massive springs in each wheel from locking the brakes. If there's still enough pressure to keep the brakes from "dynamiting," then there's enough pressure for the brake pedal to work.

Quotes
[Morris discovers Trevor's still body, and mourns]
Trevor Slattery: Calm down, mate! I'm not dead, it's just a performance! Now get down here and play along!
[Morris rolls over and plays dead]

Crazy credits
There is a scene at the end of the closing credits: Xialing takes control of the Ten Rings.

Following this scene is Xialing's Ten Rings insignia and a statement: "The Ten Rings will return."
