They play awesome parts..

The funny part about Jackie is that he must drink this certain elixir 'alot' to keep his power or energy, being that he is immortal.

I will not say what the drink is... lol..


Hillarious, and yet quite suspenseful...

Your favorite concoction? :ernae: :icon_lol:
 
Cool show and a really neat plot, had it on DVD for awhile.
 
hey don't leave out bingbing li (silverhawk) and collin chou! (the matrix)

actually, i was a little disappointed with the movie. i had high expectations considering it was the first movie ever with jackie chan and jet li.
i didn't like it that the hero was a westerner/white boy.
once you accept that it's hollywood, it was fun though. the costumes were excellent, the cinematography was well done. that counts for alot.

My aunt (who was a very intelligent woman) had a theory on this. When I was a little boy watching Kung Fu in syndication, I asked her why the series didn't star a real Chinese man instead of a Caucasian actor playing a half-Chinese character. She explained that the money people who green light these projects are businessmen who don't believe Caucasian "tickets" would indentify with a non-Caucasian protagonist, and this is how they think they'll get the biggest return on their investment. At the time I thought this was really strange, because I'd have thought the worldwide success of Bruce Lee would have settled that argument once and for all. (It was decades later I learned Kung Fu had originally been a Bruce Lee treatment.) Still, her theory is always in the back of my mind when I see the ads for the 1000th martial arts movie in a row starring a Westerner action star who has stronger ninjutsu than Japanese ninja.
