1911 Trailer
At the beginning of the 20th century, China is in a state of crisis. The country is split into warring factions, the citizens are starving, and recent political reforms have made matters worse, not better. The ruling Qing Dynasty, led by a seven-year-old emperor and his ruthless mother, Empress Dowager Longyu (Joan Chen), is completely out of touch after 250 years of unquestioned power.
With ordinary citizens beginning to revolt openly, the Qing Dynasty has created a powerful, modern army (the "New Army") to quash any rebellion. But weapons are expensive, and desperate for cash, the Qing leaders are trading anything they can get their hands on with foreign countries... and selling China's future in the process. Huang Xing (Jackie Chan) has recently returned from Japan, where he has studied the art of modern warfare. When he finds his country falling apart, he feels he has no choice but to pick up the sword, leading an increasingly desperate series of violent rebellions against the powerful Qing Dynasty and the New Army- several with tragic consequences. From the walls of the Forbidden City to the battlefields of China, with no expense spared in production and no detail ignored in its quest for historical accuracy, 1911 is a true epic in every sense of the word.
1911 was released October 12th, 2011 and stars Jackie Chan, Bingbing Li, Winston Chao, Joan Chen, Jaycee Chan, Duobuji, Ge Hu, Ming Hu. The film is directed by Jackie Chan, Li Zhang.

wow this looks pretty good. I know most of Chan's American movies are silly but he is still putting out great films in China.

Since it is Jackie's 100th movie. It does deserve a bigger release.

Very short, but looks interesting. But why can't most of these films have a much wider release?
