I could make a comment about how relatively lifelike wax Louis and his real-life counterpart are, but that's too easy.

I do think it's funny that wax Jet Li's are almost always taller than the real Jet Li.

I like that photo of Tang Wei in Yunnan - Yunnan is a very pretty province with clear skies in cities like Dali and Lijiang. Unfortunately, it's the poorest province in China. I enjoyed seeing the minorities there on my 2009 visit. :)

V - Honestly, I was struck by how good wax Louis look. Too often the results end up looking more like Jet Li's, -- nothing at all like the original.

Walter - I'm looking forward to seeing her in Peter Chan's Wu Xia. I haven't seen anything about the film lately, though. Maybe time to fire up the human flesh engine! :d
