So... Lau Kar Wing plays Liu Kang?

I've been watching this film on YouTube (someone posted the full film), and it's come to my attention that Lau Kar Wing ("Wimp Lo" in the Kung Pow re-edit) seems to be playing a character named Liu Kang... am I hearing this wrong? If not, it's rather interesting.

Btw, when the hell is this movie getting a proper DVD release? Obviously Fox had the original negative restored and remastered for Kung Pow, so there has to be a restored transfer lurking about somewhere in their vaults.
