kronosposeidonsays...Looks like it will be pretty damn cool.
gorgonheapsays...Why the hell is Michael Angarano in this movie? It's like putting Bullwinkle in Die Hard, you just don't do it.
Ryjkyjsays...Beautiful...
Looks like the stupid fucking white guy is going to ruin the whole god damn movie for me though. WTF!!!!!!!
xxovercastxxsays...I'm very torn by this movie. I love me some Jackie Chan, but I'm no Jet Li fan. I'm willing to accept some crouching tiger being that this is based on a fairytale, but I strongly prefer my martial arts flicks to stay in the realm of real-world physics... a place where Jet Li rarely goes.

Yes because Jet Li's wushu movies are full of crap ay... lol
I love both of them, yet I find Jet Li far more entertaining to watch over Jackie Chan.
Jet Li has studied different Wushu styles since childhood and has mastered around 18 different weapon forms if I remember right. Jackie Chan studied traditional Kung Fu and chinese opera acrobatic forms in his childhood at the Peking Opera school(kinda like a boot camp for future performing acrobats) and has reportedly learned Hapkido, judo, boxing, and a lot other arts over the course of making movies.
Jet Li is the only man to ever to be the Wushu World Champion five times.
My money's on Jet Li.
My 2cents lol
9547says..."OK, I have this incredible scenario: Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie!"
"And...?"
"That's it. That's the scenario"
"That's short"
"That's OK. They'll just portray some stereotyped characters from their early career. Like, I don't know, a dead serious leader and a funny drunken guy"
"Who will they fight?"
"Whoever...we'll just rip off stuff everyone knows about but no one has seen, and call that 'homages'. They'll just fight East Chamber Qing guards led by, say, a bride with white hair, in never-before-seen places like a Chinese inn or a bamboo forest. And we'll add some tasteless bimbos here and there"
"Good enough"
"Also, Shaolin monks"
"What for?"
"I really don't know, but no stereotyped Hollywood kung-fu movie would be complete without Shaolin monks"
"Deal. But they need to speak English"
"And they all speak English. Wait. Actually, sod Chan and Li, they'll be the sidekicks, and the hero will be an American white male. An American Dragonball kid. It will be directed by the guy who did Stuart Little"
"Genius"
I predict it will suck. Unless you have actually seen Li's and Chan's period pieces, in which case it will suck TERRIBLY.
10066says...I wouldn't care if this costarred a live monkey, the epic fight between Jackie and Jet alone has this ticket sold. It helps that it looks like awesome action. Yuen Woo-Ping did the fights, so you know it will kick ass. I hope they keep the score like the cuts from Hero and Crouching Tiger they use in that trailer.
JTZsays...I dobut the music would be the same, since they used both soundtracks from Hero and Chrouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. I don't know what to say about this movie...
GuyIncognitosays...Honestly, I think this'll be quite entertaining.
lucky760says...Let us not forget it also stars the beautiful Crystal Liu Yifei.
NeuralNoisesays...Jackie Chan was a great drunken master, but now he's sixty and arthritic. Jet li was amazing until he gave up on gravity. The kid seems too much of a stoner to convince in the role. I'll regret but will watch anyway, One never knows....
stumblingjonsays...Having seen neverending story 2 (i believe it was) and seeing how a kid from the future ruined that movie... ill wait for video to see jet li and jackie chan fight...
Trancecoachsays...What, no Chris Tucker?
sometimessays...the director also directed The Lion King, Stuart Little, and Disney's The Haunted Mansion. kill me now.
southblvdsays...Wait, wait, wait...what was all that hooplah about Fearless being Jet Li's retirement? How many damn more movies is he going to come out with after retirement?
HistNerdsays...Fearless was meant to be his last "Epic" movie. Essentially, he's done with making movies like Hero and Fearless, where it mixes his philosophical beliefs with martial arts. At least, that is how I understand it.
10066says...THe Lion King was epic, one of my top 10 films of the 90's! Why so much negativity? There's a new extended trailer that just went out on Yahoo: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/theforbiddenkingdom.html?showVideo=1
JAPRsays...There's been a wierd influx of Monkey King movies lately (more than normal, at least); Japan just made another Saiyuki movie starring a boy-band member as Goku this past year.
