Growing up watching Jet Li, Jackie Chan movies such as
Wong Fei Hong(Once Upon a Time in China) series (Li), The Bodyguard (Li), Drunken Master (Chan), Police Story (Chan),
and much more I always wondered what would happened
if both of them fight one another.
Although there wasn't a clear "winner" between Jet Li and
Jackie Chan, they both showed amazing kung-fu.
While watching, I regretted my stop taking
Kungfu( wu shu) class at my college. Although I may not
have become great, I'd still be in shape... sigh..
The movie had Jackie Chan style comedy. Through out the
whole movie, audience were laughing and "wow"ing.
Main character, Jason Tripitikas (Michael Angarano), finds a
special ancient relic which he must return into Monkey King in
ancient China. During his adventure he meets Jackie Chan and
Jet li from whom he learns kung fu.
I liked how each character had his own victories, which seemed
very reasonable. For example, although Jason learned Kungfu,
he didn't become super strong in just few days.
Sadly, Yifei Liu, didn't play much role in the movie as I hoped.
I wished she would throw more darts and do some special martial arts
like "Hair Grap(?)" by Li Bingbing, who played Witch.
I loved Yifei Liu in TV series "神鵰俠侶 (신조협려)" in 2006.
I guess that's why I expected more.. :)
Overall it was very entertaining movie.
My score: 4 out of 5 - Very Entertaining Movie!!
