	Hm...personally I think Jet Li face doesn't fit the character 
(he's also Chinese, but, HEY, if Jacky Chan can play City 
Hunter...)...actually since Ranma is 16 years old, he should be played by 
somebody who is pretty young.  My suggestion is Tsang Sze Man.  In Iron 
Monkey, Tsang played a very young Wong Fei Hong (the main character of the 
Drunken Master series and Once Upon a Time in China series).  Thing is, 
Tsang is a she.  That's right, she played a boy.  Actually, a very 
cute/handsome young boy.  Right now, she'd be the prefect age for the 
role, not that I'd want a live action movie done of it, but with the 
right make up, she's beautiful (kawaiiii!!!) and with another set of make 
up, she can look like a boy.  Everyone I know who saw Iron Monkey 
couldn't tell at all that she was a she.  She sounded like a young boy too.
