    Wonderful introduction to Jet Li's film career but some of the other monks steal the show with there incredible martial arts talent. If you love watching martial arts, wushu. Then you will love this. Of course Li is amazing to.
    A definite must for Li fans. Forget the script and ...( read more)sit back and watch some wonderful skills.

    This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.
  • November 29, 2007
    Waiting for the stupid producer to come up with the brainstorm of starring Jet Li and Jean Claude Van Damme in the same movie. Imagine how many one-word syllables will be in THAT script.
