Trivialidades:

Hee-seon Kim, one of the female leads, is from Korea. She learned her Chinese lines by memorizing the sounds. Sometimes production would change the script a little, but had to keep Hee-seon's lines about the same because of her limited Chinese.

Errores:

Errores cometidos por los personajes (posiblemente errores deliberados por los cineastas): While playing with the elephant "Lakshmi", apparently a female elephant, Mallika Sherawat says to it "Good boy, Good boy".

Some great stuff almost buried in too much costume drama

Jackie Chan's "The Myth" is a partial return to form. As you probably already know, the movie is for the most part split into two concurrent stories—a costume drama in ancient China and an action/comedy in the modern day, with JC playing the main role in both. I enjoyed the lighter modern day story, the action scenes in which reminded me a lot of those in "The Accidental Spy." The attempt at heavier drama in the ancient China segments, however, left me cold. I have nothing against costume action drama as a rule—but I like it not to be so dang leaden and dull. And "Crouching Tiger" this isn't. Apart from the opening scene with the runaway wagon and some brief snippets of swordplay, the costume drama fell flat. In fact, most of the time that Jackie is in that general's helmet, the movie is plain dead. But the action set pieces in the modern day segments are about as close to vintage Jackie as I think we can expect from the 50+ star (and I'd venture to say that the "glue" bit is just as good as any of his previous action/comedy pieces). I know this is heresy to say, but if "The Myth" gets an American release I hope whoever distributes it cuts out at least half of the costume drama's screen time. That part of the film should be made to strictly serve the modern story.
