 DATE: In the first fight against Yoshida at the HonKyu Dojo, as Chen  stands waiting, a picture of Gichin Funakoshi, "The Father of Modern  Karate", is in the background. The movie takes place in 1909, but  Funakoshi didnt introduce Karate from Okinawa to Japan until 1932.  Also, the Japanese students are clearly practicing and dressing like  Judo students, not Karate.
