Cradle 2 the grave.
I saw the previews and it looked pretty good(but that don't mean sh!t)
But I wil most likely end up going to see it.

The write ups for this movie looked good also.

I hate what mass media does to arts,sometimes it just makes me sick and sad.
Maybe I take it too seriously.

There was this one nice Li movie that I saw recently,I cannot recall the name but I liked the way it was intentionally (or unintentionally?) packed with freaky special effects,supernatural stuff,freaky wire work,some good lines and tongue on cheek approach.

I guess it will be a "if you liked RMD, you'll like C2TG".
But CTHD will wipe the sh*t out of Hero's a*sehole. :D
...Hero will rock! :)

bad name for a movie. Looks mediocre. I'm willing to be I've seen this movie before.

I think kung fu movies are done. I think movies that have good kung fu are in the future.

I'm glad someone else doesn't like Jet Li movies. I would rather watch Jackie Chan's worst than his best.

I guess you're more a Chuck Norris fan.

I like Jackie because he tends to take things easy and only "shows off" to show not to show off.
;)

At least there is Kelly Hu in that flick,but that would only burst a bubble. :( ;)

I like Jet's work on LETHAL WEAPON 4 and Kiss of the Dragon. But this sounds like another WIRE WORK movie. And wassup with the asian black explotation angle??? Rap and Kung fu...enuf is enuf!

You just watch out. This cast masters in Rap Fu.

I'm with sweaty-dog: Jackie's worst is preferable to Jet's best... mostly.

I did love The One which is the weirdy special effects film that Jet Li was in recently. It was a rip-off of the Matrix and it was excellent, especially the fight at the end where (I think) he used bagua.

"Kelly Hu is a terrible one. I bet she can't even speak Chinese! "
That might be,maybe some.
But she is not Chinese (Hawaii),she does not even do kung-fu (well maybe a bit)
She speaks japanese though,I believe.

I've never understood why martial artists like to dis our movies stars. Sour grapes? Not real? Come on, it's a movie!

Anyway, fwiw, Cradle 2 grave was originally slated for Vin Diesel, but he stepped out. The plot was reworked to accomodate Jet. I don't think Jet wanted to do it, but he did so out of some favor. I doubt it will be his proudest moment. More buzz is coming out about Hero - I'm sure that's what he wants to focus on...
