Jackie Chan wants to be a role model

"It will be more American-style. It will be more suited to foreign audiences than Chinese audiences," he said. "If you make a Hollywood movie, of course you have to follow their wishes. They're paying us so much money."

= suck

If it is geared towards western audiences, that just means Yuen Wo ping will choreograph it.

Movie execs will not remove the basic elements of these stars talents- they want the movie to be successful so expect plenty of chop-socky.

Even if they screw it up, it wont be as disappointing as The Chan/Yen finale of Shanghai Knights. That was a wasted opertunity, especially in contrast to the inventive work leading up to that showdown.

on a side note, am I the only person who finds a mental image of a drunken abusive Jackie Chan absolutely hilarious?

No, you're not the only one.
