The only reason i watched this is Liu Yi Fei. Not Jet Li or Jackie Chan.

Too bad she has soo little screentime.

It's a Hollywood-fied PG-13 bloodless, painless, slo-mo rendition of JL vs JC..

What is the point??

Liu Yi Fei screentime looks more than the main actor,jackie chan,jet li,li bing bing and the bad people...

When watching jet li vs jackie chan i notice that how powerful is drunken fist is when jackie is using against jet and jet have some trouble dealing it...(quite nice seeing those 2 fighting each other)

They speak english only make more funny "1 mountain cannot have 2 tigers" <== funny lor~

Overall is not bad quite nice movie for this month.
rating: 3.5/5

Coz it is a Hollywood family-friendly movie, though Yuen Woo-Ping is credited as producer also, but the main producer should be Raffaella De Laurentiis (a lady, whose work includes Conan the Barbarian! flex.gif )
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0209581/
And the director directed Stuart Little and The Lion King before .... smile.gif
So, the main target isn't Asian market, but English-speaking countries.

Gotta have a love interest for the kid mah, so more screen time .. can't have any for the sifus (no time) ..
I mistaken that Fan Bing Bing is in the movie ... but it's Li Bing Bing actually .. heheh.
And yeah, the fight scenes are the redeeming parts of the movie; the story ... doh.gif
Well, they r trying to include moral stories and life philosophy in the movie .. at least JL & JC've improve their English after several years with Hollywood. LBB's English not bad actually, with accent somemore ...

Yeap, watchable movie coz got JL & JC, LYF & LBB fighting ... story-wise or logic-wise, don't analyse too much abt it, it'll more enjoyable.
It's like The Karate Kid movie to me ... biggrin.gif
