Trailer for THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM
The first trailer for THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li has hit the web over at ComingSoon. I’ve never been a huge fan of these kind of movies, although there are some breath-taking exceptions such as HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS. It’s mainly down to the fact that the stories are always so similiar and the action at times repetitive.
For those of you eagerly anticipating this movie, you probably already know that Jackie Chan spoke out and said just how Westernized this film is and that “it isn’t great”. It’s a shame because it is the first on-screen collobaration from two of ‘kung-fu’ cinemas biggest stars. But you can now make up your minds by viewing the trailier below.
It has to be said the fighting sequence do look rather excellent. They should do though, given that they have the choreographer responsible for The Matrix and Kill Bill behind them.

um…whats with the random kid in the mix?
I wish this was just jackie chan and jet li. BUT NO, THEY JUST FEEL THE NEED TO INCLUDE ANOTHER “KARATE KID” in the mix with these two martial arts superstars. That just pisses me off….is this their sad way of including the symbol of america somewhere?
It looks okay but seeing how awful that kid looks beside jackie and jet, just makes me sad.
This movie couldve been history in the making with the collaboration of JUST these two but oh well. They fucked it up…

Whoa. I love this kind of Wuxia stuff, and to see Jackie Chan return to do something very un-Hollywood alongside Jet Li is truly exciting. Random kid in the mix is cause for concern, but with those kind of visuals, landscapes and fight scenes, I can’t wait.
