While contradictory to the "retirement" remark, Chan is in the clear for making films non-American films as he'll be in breezy, beautiful Beijing for this next flick, "Junior Soldiers".  Variety gives the film one of the greatest descriptions ever: "Chan will produce, star, and write the screenplay, which focuses on three people and a horse,"  There's another film that would fit that description.  It's called "Ride Me Like a Pony".  It does not involve kung-fu.

"Junior Soldiers" is also set during the Qin dynasty and "is essentially a road movie".  I guess that's where the horse comes in.  I PRAY that's where the horse comes in.
