If I ever placed Jet Li or Jackie Chan movies in the same level as CTHD, it's unintentional. CTHD while not to everyone's taste is much better in terms of cinematography, etc... And it's not even the same. Chan and Li's movies have specific commercial objectives. I'm not at all a fan of either. Martial arts without "context" looks really odd. It works quite similarly to Lord of the Rings in that the setting is so right that you just yield unconditionally to imagination. Taking that out of proper "context" and settings will result in horrible copies. This is why the remake of Planet of the Apes couldn't evoke the same feelings as the original

Here, It's not the martial arts that entertains, it's the imagination; it's the arts in martial arts. CTHD is a beautiful film, the first and only (thus far) recommendable film of an interesting genre.
