Casting. During pre-production, Jackie Chan was considered for the starring role; the script was originally written for him before Kwan and Scheinert changed their minds when they couldn't to him and re-conceived the lead role as a woman, feeling it would make the husband-wife dynamic in the story more relatable.
I’d have given Steven Seagal a call. It would have been equally lazy and stupid but less faggy.
My guess is Jacky Chan is too tied with the CCP and he didn't want to be involved with what the spoiler I posted in the post content described.
Yeah. The faggy shit was bad. Good call on his part.
