Forbidden Kingom: Jet Li vs Jackie Chan Preview; Jackie's Aging Effect

-- Forbidden Kingdom --

Video preview of exchange between Jet Li and Jackie Chan: IGN (40s)

Lu Yan is like the Drunken Master in his carefree take on life and his drinking habit. When he encounters Jason and reluctantly becomes his bodyguard, escort and kungfu teacher, the never serious Lu Yan shows his martial arts skills and his relentless honor and humor. Lu Yan bears strong character resemblance to a few of the Eight Immortals as according to the Chinese Taoist legends.

As for the old Chinese pawnshop owner named Old Hop, whose shop Jason frequents back in Boston, Jackie Chan has this to say, "Those were my favorite scenes. I was imitating Marlon Brando in The Godfather - in both the way he talks and walks but added in a little Jackie Chan style." Chan was never told Old Hop's age so he continued to interpret the character as he saw fit with no objection from the director. His main gripe was with the heavy layers of makeup to age his face and body.

Shao Lin Warriors Trailers

-- Shaolin Warriors (Shaolin Temple: Monks and Marines) --

This soap opera is executive produced by Shaolin abbot Shi Yongxing, directed by Raymond Lee, stars Sammo Hung, Cui Lin, Timmy Hung, Jeanette Aw, Li Man, Christopher Lee, and features real-life Shaolin monks merely as extras rather than the leading roles. Costumes for the monks are a bit outlandish. Perhaps it's the quality of the trailer but this doesn't look very promising, except for Sammo Hung.

The 10-minute trailer :Sina

Minor Skirmish at Prime Minister's Residence in Legend of Shaolin Kungfu II

-- Legend of Shaolin Kungfu 2: Thirteen Warrior Monks --
Li Yuan used his resting time to put together this little clip, in order to reward friends who have been supporting him - the editing is somewhat disjointed compared to the previous encounter but the choreography by Yuen Bun is rock solid as ever. This scene was shot over two nights. Note that this not the complete scene - the camcorder ran out of batteries halfway - and neither is this the actual production footage.

Prior to the appearance of Xie Miao, Li Yuan has always considered himself as some of the best fighters around. Yet, Xie Miao shatters his dreams utterly. Ji Chun Hua, as Wang Ren Zhe, joins in later to fend off Xie Miao. But why are Li Yuan and Xie Miao are fighting most of the time. This is but a minor part of the script. Their relationships are quite interesting and intricately intertwined - and can be easily surmised if you've been following updates on Legend of Shaolin Kungfu II: Thirteen Warrior Monks.

Li Yuan says the positive comments on his blog serve as an encouragement to him, magically removing his past few days of fatigue. He says that he'd put his best foot forward in every scene, striving to bring an even more exciting sequel to everyone.

Video may be viewed at Li Yuan's Blog.

A few new photos have also surfaced on the blogs of Xie Miao and Sun Hui Ning, one of which indicates that Leung Kar Yan is part of the cast too, playing the antagonist Wang Shi Chong, while Sun Hui Ning her daughter who's in love with Xie Miao.
