THE SORCERER AND THE WHITE SNAKE Trailer: The Most Special Effect Is Jet Li's Voice

After taking some time off to focus on his charitable work following his experiences in the tsunami that hit Thailand in 2004 Jet Li is apparently back in a big way. Li is again toplining major martial arts pictures in China and Hong Kong with projects ranging from the high end - ie Tsui Hark's Flying Swords Of Dragon Gate - to pulp such as Tony Ching Siu-Tung's The Sorcerer And The White Snake.

Widely regarded as one of the finest fight choreographers in the world, Ching's directorial output is far less consistent. His current effort is a special effects fueled fantasy epic in which Li plays a monk who struggles to save a young man who has unwittingly fallen in love with a snake demon. The first trailer for the picture is freshly arrived online and the effects ... well, they're less than special. Somehow they couldn't even get the dub job they did on Jet Li's voice to sound natural. Check out all the flying demon action below.
