That's all I need to know if I decide to watch this.

No. As a matter of fact, Shannon has just gone on facebook and displayed her anger about this film and how she and her family were not part of it or endorse it in any way. And further explains how after seeing it to see how her father was depicted, she finds the subject disrespectful to Asians and her father's legacy. I too feel the same way, just from the trailer I saw alone. I will never spend a cent on this trash.

Thank you. I will not be seeing this as well.

What does that matter? I've seen Legend of Bruce Lee which was a t.v. show produced by Shannon herself and it was almost racist in how it portrayed American culture and greatly exaggerated facts about Bruce Lee. You should wanna see a movie because it interests you, not because someone else says so. Think for yourself.
