Internet predators and human trafficking both exist, but are exaggerated WAY out of proportion in the sensationalist media (sex sells, ya know). The fewer movies we have hyping it still more, the better.
That said, could somebody PLEASE put Jackie Chan on the zero gravity plane before he dies or retires? You know, that plane can do Lunar gravity, too.
I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler.

I agree that putting something into a movie because it's so modern and trendy to talk about is a stupid idea. The most stupid thing about New Police Story was the whole computer-thing in the storyline, just like in the case of Rocky Balboa and Die Hard 4.0, released a few years later. It just cheapens the movie.

I'm not exactly sure why would you want that?

Because things can be done in low and in zero gravity which can not be done in full gravity. And because Jackie Chan can do amazing things. Imagine: a martial arts scene where the hero jumping over three people's heads is realistic. Fully 3-dimensional fighting. And not with wires or trampolines, but he actually DOES it. And so can his opponents.

If it's done in zero or low gravity, it's not amazing anymore, since everybody can do that. The cool thing was about Jackie that back in his heyday he could do his stuff all alone. With wires, trampoline or zero gravity the magic is gone.

He'd be able to do things that not everybody could do. Heck, even I could manage a cartwheel, right here on full-G Earth, if I gave it a few weeks of practice and was willing to risk my shoulder. But a GYMNAST can do amazing things. In zero-G anybody can float around, but an acrobatic man could do amazing things.

I'm afraid this thing wouldn't have the effect you expect because others would look better too, so the difference between Jackie vs. a normal person would be the same. And again, if you see something that Jackie couldn't possibly do the magic is gone.
Only one thing would work I guess: to use it only as a slight assistance for his stuff while everyone else acting normal and not taking advantage of the lower gravity at all. Then it would be substitution of subtle wirework, expect it'd look a bit more natural.

At this point, there's really no way to know for sure which of us is right. I want to find out.
