Cool. Given the abundance of German bootleg releases of HK titles, you can understand my initial skepticism.

"Jackie Chan leaps out of the screen in Magnificent Bodyguards, the first Hong Kong movie shot in 3D! The icon joins a team of guards who are escorting an ill man across a land filled danger and possible death, a land known as Stormy Hills, but does the man hold a deadly secret? Directed by Wei Lo, the person who gave the world the Bruce Lee classics The Big Boss and Fist of Fury, this is prime mandarin madness with a score which will be familiar to lovers of a certain successful sci-fi saga."

Full extras and specs announced for Island Of Fire.
Four men of iron face their destinies within the harsh walls of a Taiwanese prison. Steve (Jackie Chan) is a gambler seeking to atone for his sins. Andy (Tony Leung) is an undercover cop solving a crime. Lee (Andy Lau) is a gangster looking for vengeance. John (Sammo Hung) is a lifer seeking to reunite with his son.
For this slice of Chinese jailhouse rock, producer Wang Yu brought together both the finest talent in Asian cinema and the finest scenes from ‘Bad Boys’, ‘Cool Hand Luke’, ‘Papillon’ and every classic Hollywood prison movie ever! Our heroes get time off for bad behaviour, leading to a furious final ‘Wild Bunch’ style showdown.
Island of Fire sees Jackie Chan deliver a new level of fury!

"Director Wei Lo and martial arts legend Jackie Chan are back together in a kung-fu saturated story of revenge and justice. Tong Huo-wan (Chan) is on the hunt for retribution for the death of his mentor whilst also balancing out the power between locals and violent gangsters as well as dealing with the devastating news that his master’s family are joining a rival school! Chan is on red-hot form here, as a seemingly indestructible man determined to right all wrongs, even if that means going against his teachings."

"In a move reminiscent of what Jet Li did in the 2010 drama, Ocean Heaven – a movie that explored the subject of parental love and autism in kids – another martial arts superstar is turning to family drama… Jackie Chan!
Next year, we’ll see Jackie in Whispers of Gratitude, where he’ll play a character he’s never played before: someone with Alzheimer’s disease (not to be confused with someone with amnesia, as with his character in 1998’s Who Am I?). Obviously, if you’re expecting an action flick, you’ll be disappointed."
