Imagine Jet Li and Jackie Chan in the same movie. yeah. exactly. I got this movie not knowing who acted in it other than the fact that it scored quite high on IMDB and that it was a kung fu flick, thats it. I was more than pleasantly surprised, I watched it with my father and my son and the 3 of us were in hysterics half the time and the rest of the time in awe with the fight choreography. Li's grace, Chan's comedic stunts, this movie is a winner. It revolves around a young American boy, fascinated with Kung Fu movies, who finds himself transported off to China to return a magical fighting staff to it's rightful owner and along the way, teams up with a drunken Kung Fu master (Chan) and a monk on a secret mission (Li) and together they fight off armies of soldiers and a handful of immortal warriors. Both Chan and Li have additional cameo roles in the movie as different characters. All I can say that its a seriously kick ass movie that everyone should be able to enjoy. The fight scenes are amazing and the sets are magnificent. I was under the impression that Li had decided to stop making movies and I remember thinking at the time that it would have been cool to see him and Chan in the same movie and my wish was granted. 8.5 / 10 -------------------- |

Agreed! great movie..
At first when I saw that the lead role revolves around an American boy, I was a bit concerned.. I told myself that if the words "Daniel San", "Wax on" (or off for that matter) are muttered, or if the kid learns some funky move that involves standing on one leg like a crippled chicken, that I was going to turn it off right away..... thank the kung-fu gods that never happened  |

its taken you this long to see this awesome movie? I've watched it about 12 times, I used to fall asleep watching it, wake up watching and even play it in the background on my pc while I was playing games. Just a pity that Sparrow dies

I hated this movie. What a waste.
