This would be phenomenal. But let's be realistic. It's probably never going to happen.

That's what a lot of people thought when they heard Tony Jaa was going to be in Hong Kong movies. But it happened. It's also what many thought when rumors started that Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa and Michael Jai White would be in a film together. That also happened. Think positive @Iron_Leopard. :wink:

Trailer is out, and I'll simply say, thank goodness this is a short film, so we don't have the prospect of suffering through 90 minutes of such dross -

I watched it as well. As much as I respect Jack Ma, I kind of feel like 'GSD' is to him what 'Glitter' is to Mariah Carey - a misguided vanity project.

Didn't really enjoy the flagrant product placement, and not sure I really understood the CGI fish either.  It would have been better if he'd stopped at Michael Jackson -

The short film is atrocious. It’s obvious the choreographers tailored the action to Jack Ma’s abilities because it’s slow and ugly looking.

The ego of it all is gross, too. The whole thing is just a messy vanity project that’s a complete waste of time and money.

So if someone could edit Jack Ma out of GSD, like editing Kevin Spacey out of All the Money in the World, and replace him with, well, anyone with a real martial arts background, that would be a big improvement.  Or just make this a vanity production for everyone, where for a nominal fee you could replace Ma's head with a picture of your own, for a copy to take home and amuse your family and friends.   At least the percussion music and ending song are nice.

I've seen the trailer and happened to catch his "fight" with Tony Jaa (who looks like he's starting to put on a few pounds). I'm done. And that was before reading the above comments.

Having conquered the martial world, "Jack Ma, the co-founder of e-commerce giant Alibaba and China's richest man, says he is retiring from the company in order to focus on philanthropy... His retirement [on his 54th birthday] would mark 'the beginning of an era' for him, one in which he could concentrate on charitable activities in education, a field close to his heart."  From https://variety.com/2018/digital/asia/jack-ma-alibaba-retire-focus-on-philanthropy-1202933210/
