Nice movie
A Hong Kong Kung Fu movie made for western audiences.
It’s just … unbelievably bad :joy:
All of it.
It's an awful movie. Another stupid plot where an American learns a martial art and saves the day - made a time where some people thought wire work made a good martial art movie.
But it does has Jet Li and Jackie Chan And a brilliant line where the Silent Monk says to the Drunken Immortal "It's wrong not to share"
The American-centrism really brings down this film for me. It places a white American teen in the center of a classical Chinese story. As anticipated as the pairing of Jackie Chan and Jet Li is, the film is somewhat disappointing.
That said, it is still a thrill to see Jackie Chan and Jet Li share the screen. And to see Jackie Chan doing drunken boxing once again. I just wish the story had served the casting of the two legendary actors better.
Hell of a great movie. You cannot go wrong with this cast.
A very short and consumed story! After all, it's an action movie, you get a lot of fight scenes, and that's about it! As far as story, don't expect a strong one.

The Monkey King was a bit goofy but seeing all the Monkey King movies around these days. I now know, he's supposed to be goofy. He was my only problem with this otherwise fun adventure. That unites Jackie Chan and Jet Li in a Neverending Story meets Karate Kid meets Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon like Fantasy/Kung-Fu film.
