Hey all, I know this is very little to go by, but I'm thinking of a movie where the main guy can run super super fast. I think it was a Chinese movie. All I really remember is he tries to run so fast he goes back through time and he can't, but then maybe later he can. I remember a cool scene with a wall that looked like water which he couldn't pass.

Sorry to be so vague, but I nothing else comes to mind. If I do recall something else, I'll be sure to post it here. And if anyone thinks of it... you're amazing and thank you.

Can you remember what type of Chinese was being spoken in the film? Pinning it down to a HK movie compared to a mainland movie would be a great help.

Oooh I wish I could. Actually, I think it was dubbed. This was also several years ago, so I doubt it's newer than 2002 or so.

If it's dubbed into English (I assume you meant English), then it's more likely to be a HK film.

Scanning the wikipedia pages on HK cinema (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Hong_Kong_films) doesn't throw up anything specific about a main character that can run very fast, but if it's a action comedy, then it may be a short-lived power for comedy effect, rather than a focal point of the film.
