Haha, that's what I thought. Although I've noticed Jackie Chan's characters tend to use improvised weapons better than he does real ones. Have you guys seen Rush Hour 3? He gets his ass beat when he's holding a sword, but he can take out 3 guys with a chair. 0_o
That Cyril fight scene teaser with the artwork looks like something out of a Jackie Chan movie (maybe JC wasn't the first, but unconventional props are very much his style).
Simplistic as it was, I think the first one carried the message of parkour throughout, ie find a more effective path around an obstacle, whether that's a transom, a giant or societal ills. Whether that is communicable in a trailer is hard to say, but either way I think it's best not to judge an action movie by it's ability to express nuance.
