That does not look good. Kind of disappointing. I was expecting Hero and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Hong Kong style action but it doesn’t look nearly as good. Not to mention they removed Li Shang because the LGBTQIA+ undertones would hurt the sales in China. And the Mulan actress supporting police brutality in Hong Kong.

  @Captain Jovial Yeah you got me. I just want strangers to like a comment I made…
  
  You do know some people have a life and don’t care about likes right?

  @Captain Jovial I genuinely care about the CCP crackdown in Hong Kong. I just don’t really care about getting likes.

All Chinese support HK police! Hk protesters burned the innocent citizens just because he didn’t support the protesters!and he is in ICU , and the Chinese government afforded the cost to cure! All Chinese stand the same side with liuyifei!

i hope certain people can be less full of themselves. Not everything is about you. Blaming an actress for what happens in HK is the most misogynistic thing ever.

These backstories are so interesting and interesting to know that Yifei had a ballet background. I think that would help her in giving those flexible awesome stunts.

Scenes like these are really a collaborative effort and it’s great that Yifei and Yoson can do their own stunts

Yifei did a great job, she worked so hard. Stop spreading rumors and bringing politics into this, she has never supported police brutality , not every cop abuses power, whoever tried to attack her because of that is evil and ignorant. Just don’t watch the movie, nobody cares, there are a lot of fans and audience who will support this movie.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
