    its great to have someone like chow up and coming because as the years go by you will see less and less of people like jackie chan and jet li and who will take their place for martial art films???in the uk,until the release of the film kung fu hustle i would say that chow was not that well known unless you are into asian cinema and chow is a very talented actor...he is not only funny but he's very skilled at his martial arts.i hope that he will appear in more films over the next few years and make them more mainstream or if they are to be in native tongue then more global marketing is required so that when a film is released onto dvd then it will do well around the world!!!
