With all the fuss over the release of historical bio-pic, Confucius - and the Avatar 2D controversy - the latest vehicle for China's favorite comedy kung fu artist, Jackie Chan, has been virtually overlooked.

Jackie Chan's latest film hit Chinese screens a week before Confucius, and while blockbuster Avatar was still in full flow.

In the mold of Chan's successful "Rush Hour" 1 & 2 movies, "The Spy Next Door" is a martial arts comedy action pic – of sorts. This time CIA agent Chan has to fight off Russian bad guys while looking after his girlfriend's kids. Chan, who spent last summer in Beijing filming Will Smith's remake of the Karate Kid seems to be moving towards the lucrative family market as he ages.

But with Avatar and Confucius battling it out, "The Spy Next Door" hasn't really caught Chinese movie goers' imagination - despite the best wishes of some theater managers.
