Well in the UK they are showing trailers on TV for cinema release so i'd hope there are subtitles or dubbing (

) or they are going to get lost.

I have watched this trailer numerous times now and it just keeps getting better. In this current climate of Hollywood remakes and sequels it's great to see such epic film making. A few years ago i'd have laughed if someone said china would be producing such quality films, but after Crouching Tiger, Hero, Flying Daggers and now this I am truley impressed. Sometimes foreign subtitled (don't like dubbing) films are a welcome change. Did anyone else catch Brotherhood of the Wolf (French), I liked that too.
If this is Jet Li's last martial arts film I am very sad as he is an awesome talent (6 times [in a row]world Kung Fu champ). Hollywood just didn't know how to use him properly and whilst i liked him in The One, Cradle 2 the grave and Romeo must Die, (I have all these films) they were not really anywhere near as good as the should have been. In my opinon those films were more launch vechicles for US Rappers and R & B singers who whilst sing fine, should never be in a Martial Arts movie. The One was the best of the bunch and cleverly done.

I've got to check this out! For all you guys that haven't seen any good Jet Li stuff check out FIST OF LEGEND or HERO. There's a bumnch more but the titles are slipping from my memory. The guy's a freakin' one man army....

I love Jet Li movies especially the Hong Kong ones. I've got a bunch of them in my DVD collection. The one's that come to mind are Black Mask and the Once Upon a Time in China trilogy of films. Jet Li

He was misquoted. It is his last "wushu" style movie, because he said he couldn't go higher with the style.

Incidentally, "Wushu" literally translates as "martial arts" in Mandarin Chinese and probably the reporter who heard it wasn't familiar with the wushu style of kung fu and thought he meant martial arts in general.

Makes sense, I couldnt really see him trying to become just an actor! His best role in US films has been in Lethal Weapon 4 I reckon, he acted the baddie quite well. His other films have been a bit bizzare, teaming him up with rappers and whatnot. I actually turned Cradle 2 the grave off after half an hour out of boredom.
