Trivia
In the late 1980s, Stan Lee had considered a film/TV series about Shang-Chi and had in mind Brandon Lee, son of martial arts superstar Bruce Lee, for the role. Shang-Chi was visually based on Bruce Lee so Brandon seemed a fitting choice, but the plan fell through.

Goofs
(at around 18 mins) It's nearly impossible for a bus to run away with its (air)brake lines cut. Instant air pressure in the brake system is the only thing keeping the massive springs in each wheel from locking the brakes. If there's still enough pressure to keep the brakes from "dynamiting," then there's enough pressure for the brake pedal to work.

Quotes
[Morris discovers Trevor's still body, and mourns]
Trevor Slattery: Calm down, mate! I'm not dead, it's just a performance! Now get down here and play along!
[Morris rolls over and plays dead]

Crazy credits
There is a scene at the end of the closing credits: Xialing takes control of the Ten Rings.

Following this scene is Xialing's Ten Rings insignia and a statement: "The Ten Rings will return."

LIVELY!

Watched the IMAX version! Best solo since Iron Man (2008)! I had no expectations of this before. But the movie is much more lively. Enjoyed every moment. And also very engaging from start to finish. A kinda Cute-Action movie with some fun stuff!

This is the first movie that focuses more on martial arts than Marvel's superpower thing. Love to see a mix of Marvel's MASTER-LEVEL-CGI with Martial art. Kung-Fu with this kind of visual effect! Marvel nailed it again.

I've always loved Marvel's casting. Katy is too perfect for her role. Loved her chemistry with Shaun. Also laughed out loud at her childish stuffs.

Just one thing, not a big deal, the action scene of 'Dragon Riding' doesn't fit into the usual Marvel movie. But as Chinese flavor, it is OK. Except for this, the cinematography and VFX are a lot mesmerizing!
