Lane Leavitt put Will Smith in the wire rigs which made it very special, not like Matrix , were the audience knew that the actors' stunt doubles were in the air. The problem with Hong Kong though, is that they usually lack a strong story line. American movies, on the other hand, usually have good stories but lack the intense action of Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, actors must do their own stunts. We're making the stunts safe for American actors.
American audiences are bored.
Combine the Hong Kong style of action with the American Story line and you have magic on the screen. The Matrix style of action. Like Super Man with a big martial arts style. For example a Bat Man type movie with lots of aerial kick-butt action. Lead actors flying and fighting in the air, and using cool weapons, like in Star Wars .
