While hunting down bootleg kung-fu
DVDs in a Chinatown pawnshop, Jason makes an extraordinary
discovery that sends him hurtling back in time to ancient China.
There, Jason is charged with a monumental task: he must free the
fabled warrior the Monkey King, who has been imprisoned by the
evil Jade Warlord. Jason is joined in his quest by wise kung fu
master Lu Yan and a band of misfit warriors including Silent Monk.
But only by learning the true precepts of kung fu can Jason hope
to succeed - and find a way to get back home.

The journey
is unbelievable.
I have never gone to a cinema to watch
Jackie Chan before. I honestly don't like his humor, I
watched all of his movies in DVDs. Don't know how but this
one is different. Maybe it's because the focus is not on him
only. This is a very good movie. The fighting between
Jet Li and Jackie Chan is really nice to watch. Though not
the finale fight between Jet Li and the Jade Warlord.
