1) Breaking norms is rewarding. The main character disrespects his masters, flirts and gropes his niece (so no one gets grossed out), gets his ass kicked in by his aunt, cripples some dude at the market, refuses to pay for his dinner, and in the end earns the respect of all. A hero for the ages.
2) The more you act like a goofball, the more you succeed. Jackie Chan has proven that not taking yourself seriously will earn you MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. In other words,
a) Look like a buffoon. This can apply to all walks of life. Chicks dig the comedian.
b) PROFIT!
3) What the hell’s in the water in China (other than copious amounts of lead)? How do these thousand year old Chinese men go flying around kicking ass ? Is it tai chi? Buddhism? All the senior citizens I know in America just want to buy cheap prescription drugs and sleep at 4 pm.
THIS MOVIE GIVES FALSE HOPE THAT BEING OLD IS AWESOME.
