Two movies about the Flying Tigers are in the works, according to Deadline.com, with John Woo and Terence Chang getting off the tarmac first with their saga. But New Regency, 20th Century Fox, and Tom Cruise are still fighting the good fight on a rival project that carries the identical title, the website reports. Both films are based on the story of the volunteer fighter squadron formed by General Claire Chennault to help the Chinese fight against the Empire of Japan before the United States entered World War II.
