As an action and martial arts movie fan it was great to talk to Philip Ng about the new film BIRTH OF THE DRAGON, where he portraits the legendary Bruce Lee.

The film, directed by George Nolfi (The Adjustment Bureau), also stars Yu Xia, Christopher Wilkinson, Billy Magnussen, Jin Xing, Jingjing Qu, and Simon Yin.

BIRTH OF THE DRAGON opens in theaters this Friday August 25.

Set against the backdrop of 1960s San Francisco, BIRTH OF THE DRAGON is a modern take on the classic movies that Bruce Lee was known for. It takes its inspiration from the epic and still controversial showdown between an up-and-coming Bruce Lee and kung fu master Wong Jack Man – a battle that gave birth to a legend.
