Title: Random Kid + Jet Lee + Jackie Chan + Jorney to the West = The Forbidden Kingdom.

"Based on the Chinese legend of the monkey king, revolves around an American teenager who discovers the king's legendary stick weapon in a pawn shop. He is transported back in time to ancient China, where he joins a crew of warriors fighting to free the imprisoned king."

I thought the first movie with both Jet Li AND Jackie Chan in it would be a bit more.... EPIC.

Also: The Forbidden Kingdom vs Dragonball. FIGHT!

Post by: Bill Murray on January 03, 2008, 11:52:13 am: Since this was originally announced I've absolutely hated the idea. The news first came around that J&J would team up for the first time, man, it sounds incredible. The next day or something around those lines, we discover it's for the Forbidden Kingdom, and eventually the fact came out that the director of Stuart Little 2 is holding the reigns on this one.

So after that I had pretty much lost all love and hope for the film, but then the trailer comes out and it looks half-decent? (Cinematography wise at least)

Anyway, I'm still not sure about the plot and the overall film, but there is at least a chance this could be the next ..Karate Kid or something around those lines. It seems a kid orientated film, so that would probably be the best fit.

But man, I wish J&J would have actually teamed up for something ..better?

Yeah I fucking swear it is.

I guess Jet Li, Jackie Chan and some kid are better than some tubular turtles, we'll see

Well, the turtles DID get teleported to Ancient China with some weird lamp April bought in a pawn shop in TMNT3.

...as many times as Troy, 300 and the rise of Julius Caesar Salad, I suppose.

It would be nice if we could just get a decent adaption of the source material, rather than retarded animes, a fun/obscure tactical RPG, and ridiculous TIME TRAVEL movies.

Post by: pburn on January 07, 2008, 08:47:24 pm: Jesus man, the fact that they have a white guy as SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE in a ASIAN setting.... It's just not right.

Kinda like in the Replacement Killers when the studio said the bad guys couldn't all be white...

Quoted for fucking truth.
Not only that but the token white guy learns mystical martial arts in two weeks in contrast with soldiers who spent their lifetime learning to fight (I'm looking at you Last Samurai).

Yeah I'm already sick of this movie.

Post by: big ass skelly on January 15, 2008, 02:52:43 pm: You're right, racial issues and quick training are totally the least believable things about this story.

Post by: Ragnar on January 15, 2008, 03:32:57 pm: Also I think it looks like they just took bits and pieces of other movies

The young white kid learning how to be a great warrior in a matter of weeks/days/hours while meanwhile all the generic soldiers who trained all their lives drop like flies is stolen from Japanese RPGs though :P

I will watch it just to see the great Jet Li but the main character annoys me already.

Post by: helter skelter on February 04, 2008, 09:45:26 am: I am a giant Jackie Chan fan. Jet Li is pretty cool, as well.

I can't believe this is going to be the first movie they're together in. It looks like SHITTTT
