'Mulan ' trailer promises swords, sorcery and swooshy hair

Let's get down to business, the new Mulan trailer is here. Disney just released the full trailer for the upcoming live-action adaptation of the 1998 animated feature, and it promises lots of swords, sorcery and swooshy hair.

The trailer offers a bigger glimpse of film's take on the mythic Chinese woman warrior. Liu Yifei stars as Hua Mulan, the dutiful daughter who disguises herself as a male soldier to take her father's place in China's army against invading forces. As fans have figured out by now, this Mulan appears to be more of a straight-ahead adventure epic, dropping the musical numbers and zany sidekicks for battle scenes and kung fu.

We also get significant first looks at some of the major characters, including Gong Li as the sorceress Xian Lang (who appears to possess the ability to transform into a hawk), Jason Scott Lee as the villainous Bori Khan, Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Ron Yuan as Sergeant Qiang, Jet Li as The Emperor.

Take a look:

These Jeopardy contestants all deserve to lose.

"Who is Jet Li?" And martial arts movie fans are shaking their damn heads.



Keen-eyed Twitter user "echan" caught this awkward moment on Jeopardy last week, as all three contestants failed to correctly crack a video clue about martial arts star Jet Li, who as a child performed wushu for President Richard Nixon. It's a triple stumper, as Steve and Ava predictably and erroneously blurt out the only two Asian movie stars they've ever heard of. And Adam's got nothing.
