In addition to Dragon Blade (which is currently filming), Skiptrace, and the possibility of The Karate Kid 2 and Rush Hour 4, Jackie Chan has added an English-language thriller titled Civilian, to his to-do list.

According to Variety, Civilian "follows a salesman who finds himself in the middle of a terror attack at an arms convention." Chances are, the film will be a light-hearted action flick, considering it's being helmed by Peter Segal (Get Smart, Grudge Match), a director known for his family-friendly output.

Civilian will start filming in Johannesburg, South Africa early 2015. - Thanks to Film Combat Syndicate

According to Impact (via Film Combat Syndicate), Huang Kin Long (better known as Bruce Le or Huang Kin Long) – star of the Bruceploitation classics Enter the Game of Death and Clones of Bruce Leehas just wrapped up a redux of a movie he directed in 1992 called Comfort Women. The upcoming film stars Cheng Pei-pei (Golden Swallow, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and her daughter Marsha Yuen.

In even better news, while Le visited the set of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Pound of Flesh, Le told Impact’s Mike Leeder that he has plans to return to the international arena with a new action martial arts project. If this is true, then old school kung fu cinema fans will have one hell of a field day! So what does Le look like today? Well, here’s a photo of him with Mike Leeder, Darren Shahlavi and Mike Moller on the set of Pound of Flesh. Simply amazing!
