His latest, The Tuxedo, is a wan spy caper with digital tricks that undermine Chan's amazing physical grace. Shu Qi, the Taiwan-born beguiler, has better luck with her English-language debut, The Transporter, a furious demolition derby produced by Besson and directed by Hong Kong action auteur Corey Yuen (Fong...
