  Even though it's co-directed, I want it to rival Last Hurrah for Chivalry!  So long as they get a good wushu double like in Crouching Tiger...

  Good to see Michelle on the game. Let's hope Woo will have matured/ credible actors who actually knows martial arts for this action pic (Chow YF is not 'kungfu incline). I think perfect partners should be Gordon Liu, Yuen Biao, Wu Ching, Chen Kuan Tai, Cheng Pei Pei or the younger generation of Daniel Wu & Nic Tse.
