Forbidden Kingdom - Jackie Chan Jet Li Hong Kong Kung Fu Martial Arts Action DVD

Jet Li and Jackie Chan square off in a lengthy; acrobatic fight scene in their latest kung fu classic. Chan doesn't disappoint as Lu Yan; a drunken immortal in ancient China who mentors a modern-day American kid; Jason (Michael Angarano); the latter having slipped into the past while in possession of a magical staff that belongs to the imprisoned Monkey King (Li). In order to get back to his own time and help an old friend (also Chan) wounded by thugs; Jason accompanies Lu Yan and a lovely warrior; Golden Sparrow (Liu Yifei); on a journey to return the staff. Along the way; a (mostly) silent monk (Li; again); who has spent his life in search of the staff; joins their mission. He helps Lu Yan train Jason in fighting and adding more muscle to the party as it comes under siege from a violent witch (Li Bing Bing) and pathological warlord (Collin Chou). 104 min. English. English subtitled.
