With Donnie in this movie is the British action actor Scott Adkins and Danny Chan as Bruce Lee, who has been a Bruce Lee fan since childhood. Danny Chan has been lucky enough to play his idol in Shaolin Soccer, Legend of Bruce Lee TV series and Ip Man 3, this is due to his reemblance to Bruce Lee, also he is trained in Bruce’s method of fighting Jeet Kune Do. It also features action actors Chris Collins and Mark Strange.
