The Forbidden Kingdom

When you have little expectation, you won't be too much disppointed. The first Jet and Jackie collaboration with a damn crappy script and storyline. It could be that it was just too difficult to film these 2 in a totally new storyline. As they are on the same good side, they only fought once, at the broke down temple. The fight was so so, not bad not good, nothing impressive.

Snake move, Crane Fist, Tiger fist and drunken fist among the kungfu they use throughout but as they taught Jason, it became master the form to become formless.

Jason, some kid in US whom should be crazy about IPhone and XBox 360, got himself transported into ancient and mythical world where the Jade Warlord ruled. He tricked Moneky King in throwing his Golden Staff away and turned him into stone.

Jason with the staff, embarked on a journey with J&J and Golden Sparrow by 刘亦菲.
Along the way, 白发魔女 by 李冰冰 pursued them and Jackie was injured by her "Toma Hawk heat seeking arrow", lucky Bush or Osama wasn't aware of such technology.

Jason to save Jackie, went to Jade Warlord and demand the elixr of immortality. The white hair bride beat him with ease to get the staff and the elixr but but just ...

The other J and Sparrow came along and the final battle ensue. Jackie was carried there by other monks and drank the elixr, some green potion, and got into the fight instantly. He finished off white hair bride while Jason smashed the stoned Monkey King statue as the Jade Warlord killed Jet.

Then Jade killed Sparrow. Monkey King which is Jet also attempts to battle Jade but it was Jason who pierced him with the Sparrow's Jade Dart. Jade warlord fell into his own inferno.

Another totally amusing thing was they could speak English :) 6/10
