    Jay Chou's stuff is ok. He's a pop star but at least he's popular in Hong Kong which is a plus for obvious reasons (a better casting choice than having Rain in the Enter the Dragon remake IMO) I think he'll do a good enough job.
    On screen he's not very Charismatic. Shame Stephen Chow isn't doing this since he's a massive Bruce fan (he was the president of the Bruce Lee fan club in HK) and it would be akin to a dream roll for him. I guess he has his reasons.

    I'm sure the new Zhou will do a fine job, but I think I have to boycott this movie since the loss of Stephen Chow. Chow is a comedic martial arts genius. Without him, I don't think I can otherwise stand to see another Seth Rogen movie.

    @Anekanta: I'm actually unsure about Jay Chou. I was pretty annoyed by him in Kung Fu Dunk and Initial D. I mean, maybe it's just the script/director (Kung Fu Dunk hurt me with it's terrible transitions, absolute lack of pacing, ridiculously stereotyped storyline, lack of sensible character relationships or development, gah that was utter tripe), but he was...boring.

    Stephen Chow, on the other hand, has made plenty of movies that have similarly odd pacing or sheer weirdness, but he's amusing in all of them that I've seen. I don't know what it takes to be Kato (somehow what I've read seems to imply he's more the straight man in any comedic elements), but at least Chow is interesting.

    @BrockBrockman: Prince Jai, the younger son. Jay Zhou is more known as a popstar than an actor but he'll probably do a good job.

    1) 12 hour lunch breaks.
    2) Catering complaining because all he'll eat is bamboo.
    3) Child Care doesn't know how to deal with 1 oz. offspring.
    4) Have you seen a panda's physique? Ain't no amount of spandex gonna make that look buff, honey! You're gonna wind up with Arthur, not The Tick.
    5) Supervillans all laugh because his 'secret' name is Lian Lian, Ting Ting, or something like that.
    6) Too busy trying to find love to save the world.

    Ranma 1/2:


    whenever Genma is splashed with cold water, he becomes a giant panda. Hot water, as with the rest of the Jusenkyo-cursed characters, can change him back into human form.

    Chou was good in both Curse of the Golden Flower and Initial D, so you haters can go choke.

    Little known fact: Howard creator Steve Gerber (Dormammu rest his soul) based Dr. Bong on former Chicago Sun-Times columnist Bob Greene in retaliation for a nasty piece he'd written on Marvel's KISS comic, which Gerber had scripted.
