Karate Kid meets Wizard of Oz.
This movie oozes with cheese, but I had a blast. This movie brought back memories of BLACK BELT THEATER. You hear tons of old Chinese sayings that you grew up with as you train in traditional martial arts.
"learn it all so you may forget get it all.""be like water"
"must taste bitter before sweet"
"remember to breathe"
"he who honors his teacher honors himself"
I bet they had the line, "see noting so you may notice everything." The scene probably got edited out.
Jackie praying for rain...eeewww, but totally hilarious.
Lots of CGI and wire work.
Yuen Wo Ping made some interesting comments about the movie.
The fight between Jackie Chan and Jet Li rocks. I wish they had more fight scenes together. A friend of mine didn't like how balance the fight scene was without a clear winner. He thought that Jackie's or Jet's ego couldn't take a beating.
