Starring Bingbing Li from "The Meg."

I'm not against it but... is this really a big enough franchise to bother with this over?

Unless it's Soo Yung as a cop getting into Rush Hour-esque adventures and keeping it canon, I don't think it'd interest me a whole lot, at least not until fet get a trailer.

You know the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

is Li a martial artist? I've never watched rush hour before but I assume that Jackie did something in them,

She's been in wuxia tv series, so I assume she have some MA experience.

But, since it's a gender swapped movie, why not swap more. Have the black character be the martial artist and the asian character be the snarky one.

*Allio* · 03-08-2019, 11:54 AM

that is true. Any good black female actresses that can do martial arts?

Danai Gurira got some kickboxing experience and apparently learned how to handle a katana for The Walking Dead. I think she could pull it off.

How about making some original movie with leading female characters, instead of making -sex-swapped versions of famous movies?

Because, I feel like it is sexist to remake male-lead movies with females and pretend it is a progress.

Give me a few years to where my books become a phenomenon, you’ll drown in original female characters.

*snake* · 03-08-2019, 05:38 PM

I want to read your books, Allio. Drowning in original female characters seems like a pleasant way to go out.

Rush Hour 1 is the only great one, 2 still has some humor but is a huge disappointment, 3 I remember being better than 2 but it had less humor. I've still wanted to see a fourth movie being made but it seems like we have to see this bomb before they reconsider.. They already failed at rebooting the show as a TV series so I guess when this bombs maybe we'll finally get a real sequel.

If Chris Tucker has another movie left in him, I'd way rather take "Last Friday" over Rush Hour 4.

I think I remember digging 1 and 2 but not being impressed with 3.

I have a tendency of writing female characters, because of anime I just tend to make any interesting character female.

I got a variety

Animal girls
Girls in battle royals
Dead girls
Magical girls
Robot girls
Demon girls
Kaiju girls
Alien girls
Girls in despair
Girls caught in a time

You name it, I got like over sixty book ideas ranging from sclice of life to horror to fantasy.

Genuinely interested in dead girls. Are they ghosts? Zombies? Both?

*Ninjinister* · 03-08-2019, 10:43 PM

I liked Li in The Forbidden Kingdom. With a good cast and script I feel like this could work.

One series has zombies, some have ghosts, even got one with a mummy, even a Frankenstein type (more bride in concept). Even have a battle royal story set in purgatory.
