My kids loved the movie--this summer's remake starring Jackie Chan--so I thought I'd swipe the title for this column and appear cool in their little eyes.

One 2011 Chinese martial-arts film with Western sensibilities is "Wu Xia, " from director Peter Chan, which Weinstein Co. signed for U.S. distribution at Cannes (so far there's just a Blu-ray with English subtitles available).
