Anyone else looking forward to seeing this film? Action films are not my favorite genre, but I've been a Jackie Chan fan since seeing Drunken Master in my early teenage years. Jet Li is badass too.
I'm glad to see it's not a cheesy comedy like Rush Hour 3 or Around the World in 80 Days. I'm a bit turned off that one of the main characters is a white American teenager that falls in love with a beautiful Chinese girl and will probably turn out to be the hero at the end.
Nonetheless, the fight scenes with both Jackie and Jet will be awesome. Supposedly they had so much fun working on the film together that they're planning on doing another.

Jeez, both those guys are getting pretty old now. Is there still much chop left in their socky?
This is why Spencer Tracy and Jimmy Stewart worked for decades. Even when they were young, they played old farts.
Jeez, both those guys are getting pretty old now. Is there still much chop left ...
Jackie is in his mid 50's and Jet is in his mid 40's. Even though they're fairly old, I bet they're still in impeccable shape. On top of that, there are all kinds of computer-generated techniques that can be used to make those fight moves look flawless. It's questionable how much longer they'll stick around, but I bet they have at least a few years left in them.
