You know, I think remakes of some of these old Shaw martial arts pictures would be kinda cool with today's choroegraphy styles, special effects and filmmaking technologies (and no, I doubt they'd besmirch the legends of the originals), but when they mention Edison Chen as a probable star, I have to shudder...
