Whats Egg Shens story?
It’s never really gone into detail, but from what we see and hear of Egg, it can be assumed that he is older and more powerful than he looks. It is also very likely that Egg Shen had fought Lo Pan sometime in the past, evidenced by Lo Pan’s line during their magic duel, “You never could beat me, Egg Shen.” We do know that Egg Shen is knowledgeable about Chinese history, Chinatown, and Chinese black magic. He’s “a very rich man” who owns several large buildings in Chinatown. Egg also runs a San Francisco tour bus service called “Egg Foo Young Tours” where he acts as a bus driver and tourguide. Perhaps Egg is an ancient sorcerer like Lo Pan, only he aged better. Maybe he’s just had a chance to face Lo Pan when he was younger. It would take a movie prequel to explain this.
