I just watched the trailer. Even though some of the fight choreography appears rehashed from The One and The Transporter, it looks like a whole lot of fun.
As for Li and action movies. He said Fearless was his last wuxia film. Although wuxia is most commonly associated with the flying-through-the-air shenanigans, that's not what he was reffering to. Jet Li felt that Fearless completely expresses his views on martial arts and therefor it will be his last martial arts (or wuxia) film. There was an early interview before the release of Fearless where Jet Li expressed the differences between an action movie and a martial arts movie. Both can have punches and kicks but only the latter is about more than just watching a group of guys (or girls) kick the crap out of each other.

I seem to recall a line like "last martial arts epic" in regards to Jet Li's "retirement" such as it is.
Here'es the movie poster I'm thinking of that says "Jet Li in his last martial arts epic."

I dont' get it. Why not just tweak the script, which looks to be reasonably good for this type of film, and make that Transporter 3? Seems like you could probably keep 90% of what is there the same and just have Frank be the main character.
Btw, hopefully TP3 (are they making this?) will be better than 2.
