[edit] Character basis
Fei Long is a tribute to the Kung Fu movie legend Bruce Lee. Not only do the two look alike and come from the same city, Fei Long also lets out similar battle cries to Lee, and is just as furious and fast a fighter. Also, feilong is Chinese (specifically Cantonese, Hong Kong's primary dialect) for "flying dragon" (or "pterosaur"), as well as a type of kick; Bruce Lee's Chinese screen name was 李 小龍 (Lee Siu-Long) or "little dragon." He was one of the first Bruce Lee look-alike characters in fighting games, leading to characters such as Marshall Law and his son Forrest from the Tekken series, Maxi in Soul Calibur, and Jann Lee from Dead or Alive.
[edit] Story
A youthful and talented action movie star, Fei Long is the master of Hitenryu Kung Fu. While he fought on the streets to sharpen his skills, he caught the eye of a movie director, who got him into the big times and made him an international sensation.
He made a string of action movies until he participated in the second World Warrior tournament. He realized that he preferred the real thing to the staged, choreographed fight scenes in his movies, and gave up his career and disappeared into the streets.
[edit] Trivia
- Fei Long did not appear in the live action Street Fighter movie due to the similaries to Bruce Lee (and therefore the filmmakers didn't want to pay the Lee family royalties). This is the main reason behind the character of Sawada being created. It has also been stated that the producers thought that he was "too generic."
- In Fei Long's ending in Super Street Fighter II and Super Street Fighter II Turbo, a movie director approaches Fei Long and tries to convince him into returning to make one more movie, but Fei Long refuses. In the English version, he says that "there could never be another legend like the great one and his son", which has been interpreted by many fans to mean Bruce Lee and his son Brandon who died shortly before Super Street Fighter II was released. This reference is not present in the original Japanese version.
[edit] Notes
- I↑ : In SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash, his name appears misspelled as 'Fei-Ling'. This a misspelling in the English version, rather than Engrish as the Japanese version does read 'Fei Long'.
