Bland, dull “East-meets-West” actioner – Scott never convinces as a slimy pickpocket; it might have been better if he’d gone the full “Stifler” and be done with it. Attempt to marry kung-fu with mystical, MATRIX sensibilities are curtailed by Hunter’s insistence on shooting the action as a series of quick cuts, negating any of the athletic flourishes that would distinguish, say, a Jackie Chan effort. Gets by purely on Yun-Fat’s inherent charisma and likability, but even that only goes so far.

Luckily there isn't any rap artists on cast list, like almost every Hollywood action films made in start 21 century had. Still the movie is made badly. For martial-art fans only.

This movie came in a box of 3 with Kung Pow. There is no way it can even lick dust off Kung Pow's shoes. What a nightmare.
Oct 16, 2014	myfavchords	73 _36th
This is an enjoyable action, comedy movie. The move does have some flaws, the script has some weak moments and the villains are not very interesting. Sean William Scott and Chow Yun-Fat work well together and they seem to be having a lot of fun. There are some funny moments and some exciting action scenes. Overall I would recommend this film.

I loved this movie as a kid, but was very saddened to find that it did not hold up at all.
Jan 18, 2014	getmoney	51 _10th
The first ten minutes are really entertaining. I wish we got Chow Yun-Fat vs the Nazis instead of what the rest of the movie ended up being.

VERY TIRT

Fun, silly, martial arts and coming of age film with a couple of good looking kids fighting stuff and trying to overcome their various issues along the way. Plot kind of predictable but still a nice warm cosy feeling ending, with some sweet moments and some humour.

If you work in a run-down theater that plays a lot of kung-fu movies you actually start to pick some of it up.
Sep 08, 2011	Frosty	30 _9th
What a silly film.
Aug 30, 2011	CMonster	45 _21st
45 just because I now use a metal pipe for my bowstaff. Inspirational.

Sean William Scott doing kung fu. Nuff said.
Sep 23, 2010	hellboy76	36 _10th
Poor Chow Yun-Fat.
May 07, 2010	Jeb	10 _10th
A miscast, forgettable and rushed mess. Chow Yun-Fat's talent is completely wasted and Scott's formulaic acting agenda continues. The action itself is poorly executed and looks stupid. An embarassing reminder why Chow Yun-Fat should probably stay away from American cinema if he wants to keep his career on track.

meh

Stupid and silly fun.
Sep 29, 2009	Amie	66 _7th

Shocker.
Jul 22, 2009	TV+Film-Hub	7 _40th
More like Bullet Resistant, but it still seems to work.
Jul 12, 2009	Delirium9	70 _16th
It's silly, but entertaining...
Jul 04, 2009	johnshaft	40 _6th
Pointless and forgettable, with only Chow-Yun Fat to elevate it.

I only made it through to see if I could recognize where it was filmed.

Just to pass time.

funny. awesome job
Jun 14, 2008	Vandelay1	34 _27th
not so good
Apr 15, 2008	angrypierre	34 _12th
Really fucking stupid. Stiffler is not meant to be an action star. Stiffler makes penis jokes.
Feb 28, 2008	NPNG	57 _30th
little over the top.

ger; eine magische schriftrolle wird von einem mönch beschützt, denn sie verleiht grenzenlose macht

Silly? Yes. Action packed? You bet.
Jan 20, 2008	MJVmovieMan	19 _2nd
Terrible story and zip for comedy. Bad combination.
Dec 28, 2007	martryn	35 _6th
Some decent action scenes can't save this film from sucking ass. What did you expect from the epic team-up of the writers of Josh Kirby: Time Warrior, and... wait... Paul Hunter? Isn't he a music video director?

Stinks
Oct 18, 2007	samanthadext	90 _50th
Wonderful martial arts sequences. Story rather dull though.
Sep 15, 2007	Dustyd	60 _39th
Not as bad as I thought it would be. Actually, once you settle into the silliness of it all, it's kinda fun.
Aug 21, 2007	st_fly	1 _5th
crap
Aug 20, 2007	fyngyrz	8 _24th
Good Saturday night fare. Some fun (and unrealistic) martial arts, etc.
Aug 14, 2007	TheDenizen	40 _17th
Pretty lame. It's hard for me to hate on Chow Yun-Fat, but this is not his best work, and Seann William Scott sucks. Average story with some annoying characters and bad action.
Aug 14, 2007	Punchinello	20 _1st
Chow Yun Fat is forced to make tripe by people who've no idea of what martial arts or spirituality for that matter, are.
Aug 14, 2007	baskil	73 _16th
A cool movie destroyed by a shitty script.
Aug 14, 2007	StVeSa	45 _13th
The only move I've ever hated that featured Chow Yun-Fat.
Aug 14, 2007	BBBD	50 _17th
I don't really remember this movie, so it obviously wasn't good, but I don't remember it being awful either. Just a bland martial arts movie.
Aug 14, 2007	grafe	0 _6th
THE TRAILER WAS SO AWESOME :(
Aug 14, 2007	Parmandur	75 _71st
Entertaining, if silly.
Aug 14, 2007	grimsooth	27 _13th
This is not a good movie, I was hoping for "Chow Yun-Fat beats the crap out of everyone" but they somehow screwed that up.
Aug 14, 2007	spoonerspot	65 _6th
The monk may have been bulletproof but the audience isn't.
Aug 14, 2007	Ytadel	3 _28th
Passive entertainment of the stupid kind. Seann Wlliam Scott is miscast in a way that I can't help but laugh out loud at.
Aug 14, 2007	fuxoft	40 _14th
So bad it's good
Jul 13, 2007	Matthias99	85 _41st
An adaptation of a comic book... came across okay, but probably could have been better.
May 29, 2007	saucyjack	49 _28th
Yun-Fat is wasted as usual in American films
May 26, 2007	juice	30 _8th
Did Chow Yun Fat really need the paycheck this bad?
May 20, 2007	Kain424	15 _2nd
But Chow is in it... this shoulda been great!
Apr 10, 2007	MonsterGear	55 _15th
Okay, I guess.
Mar 01, 2007	TheDiceman	35 _12th
Watchable could have been a lot better.
Feb 26, 2007	Murravener	59 _5th
Another Jackie Chan action comedy and thsi time Sean William Scott is just his guest star as is his formula always.
Feb 24, 2007	doctor7	16 _8th
Seann William Scott plays the same character he's played many times before only in this he has some minor martial arts skills. The action isn't very good and, in an action movie, that's a very bad sign.
