"Fantasy"

"The King of Kung Fu", what a famous name, and the promotional video on TV is also very good-looking. When I actually watched the movie, I realized that it is still difficult for foreigners to find the essence of Chinese Kung Fu movies. It can be said that this is a pure fantasy film, and kung fu is just one of the gimmicks. There are many fighting scenes between Jackie Chan and Jet Li, but none of them are exciting. Fight scenes lack creativity. The little American boy's punching progress was fast, and his performance in the film was jerky and stiff. I can't stand Li Bingbing and the big villain in the film the most. Letting Jet Li play Monkey King... is indeed a mistake. Our Jade Emperor is so thin and thin, it's really embarrassing.

The Forbidden Kingdom quotes

  • Jason Tripitikas: I don't know, Where I am? How I got here? Who were those guys want to kill me. Whatever, You did back there was sick!

  • Lu Yan: No, Drunken fist. Secret Kung Fu after South. I'm Lu Yan, Traveling scholar. What land do you have come from? Monk,

    Jason Tripitikas: I'm not a monk. I'm Jason Tripitikas from South Boston. Is this a dream?

    Lu Yan: No, Where You came from is the dream. Throught The Gate of No Gate.

    Jason Tripitikas: Is that like a wormhole or something?

    Lu Yan: No, It means. You're either a Zen Master or You carry something special.

    Jason Tripitikas: [Pointing towards the staff] This? It was in a pawnshop, Waiting for a man to pick it up and return it to it's rightful owner. What?

    Lu Yan: It's long been foretold, That a seeker will come to return the staff and end the reign of Jade Warlord.

    Jason Tripitikas: Return the staff to who?

    Lu Yan: The Monkey King. Born of a stone, On the Mountain of Fruit and Flowers. With his weapon in hand. His Chi became like fire. His stick fighting like magic. He defied the order of the land. But, Jade army could not defeat him. The Monkey King crushed every soldier sent to stop him. With his Magical Staff, He was unbeatable. Word of his disobedience. Traveled deep within The Forbidden Kingdom. To The Five Elements Mountain. Land of The Immortals. Once every 500 years. The Jade Emperor hosts The Peach Banquet. It's here, The heavenly ministers gather to celebrate their longevity and drink The Elixir of Immortality. One sip of this heavenly brew will give everlasting life. Free from mortal suffering and desire, Into the Banquet, The Monkey King crashed, Uninvited. The Jade Emperor was enchanted by The Monkey King. But, The Jade Warlord was not amused. As Master of The Army. The Warlord demanded The Monkey King bow down to him.

    Jade Emperor: He's a bit unrefined, That's all. Give The Naughty Monkey a title and let him go.
