It makes Guan Yu like some kind horny boh nai hor wushu champion, who had absolutely no control over anything in his life, except over his halberd.
During a particular scene where Guan Yu allowed his friend to attack him with a poisonous dart, to which the friend reciprocated by not dodging Guan Yu's blow to his own shoulder, one of the chatty Gen Y girls sitting next to me blurted a very clear "WHAT THE FUCK?!!", much to the amusement of everyone else in the theatre.
These days... If you are my friend, you should not be attacking me in any way, and/or for anyone... even the freaking emperor. If you do, loyalty fails.
As Oahiz_Wanders puts it, Donnie Yen is a skinny and emo Guan Yu. He is too small ('Good Fren' uses the term 'sun-por') and modern-looking to be a convincing Guan Yu. And his tan is so fake. Might as well get 刘青云 for the role.
However, the fight scenes are decent.
I am afraid the producers cannot claim that 'No animals have been injured during filming".
Still waiting for my time-travelling 关公 to hit the screens.
"I think it will be great fun to make a film/series about 关公 getting trapped in a modern man's body, i.e. a test of his values of loyalty (忠) and righteousness (义) in the contemporary context.
Best to set him amidst different social contexts, e.g. amidst a bunch of investment bankers, a bunch of politicians and civil servants, a bunch of gay men, a bunch of male academics, a bunch of hard laborers, a bunch of male cabbies. =))
Imagine 关公 hanging out at Velvet after a week of 'investment banking' with his competitive colleagues trying to outdo one another in their flashy cars, talking about wine, and scoring with the chicks with plastic faces/hair/nail extensions and wearing almost nothing..."
