Professor) kicks the karate film genre up a notch by inserting new scenes, new dialogue-and himself-into an obscure Hong Kong martial arts flick from the '70s. The result is a ridiculously funny, must be seen to be believed movie! In order to avenge his family's death, a legendary warrior named The Chosen One (Oedekerk) wanders the countryside in search of the murderous Master Pain, also known as Betty. Filled with fist-flying action, incredible special effects and outrageous kung foolishness, this martial arts mockery delivers knockout laughs from beginning to end!Bulletproof Monk:He has no name. He protects a powerful secret. Now to fulfil an ancient prophecy, he has found the one who's supposed to take his place - and it's the most unlikely candidate of all. In this dazzling action adventure, the Monk (Chow Yun-Fat, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) is a Zen-calm martial arts master, whose duty has been to protect a powerful ancient scroll that holds the key to unlimited power. Now, faced with finding the scroll's next guardian, the Monk's quest brings him to America. According to an ancient prophecy - and to his disbelief - the Monk's successor is a charming, street-tough wild card name Kar (Seann Williams Scott, American Pie, Road Trip). Using high-flying acrobatics, martial arts action and quick witted humour, the Monk instructs Kar in the ways of a protector and the duo become partners to save the scroll from the power hungry armies who try to steal it!Kiss Of The Dragon:Jet Li (Romeo Must Die) plays Liu Jiuan, China's top government agent, who arrives in Paris from Shanghai to assist Richard (Tcheky Karyo, The Patriot), a corrupt French police inspector, with a top secret mission to uncover an international drugs conspiracy. The mission goes horribly wrong, as the man Liu came to help, betrays him. Accused of a murder he did not commit and on the run in a city he doesn't know, Liu befriends an American woman, Jessica (Bridget Fonda, Jackie Brown), who Richard has forced into prostitution. As Jessica and Liu go up against their cunning and ruthless adversary, Liu makes a promise to Jessica that could compromise his career - and even his life.

bulletproof monk is jam packed with chinese style kung fu, yet a bit dissapointing conversations from Chow Yun Fat
Based on the very underground comic book, Chow is the immortal Tibetan monk that needs to protect the scroll. the first half of the movie was rather thrilling with good computer generated animation etc.
but the second half is rather repeating itself and it is rather boring.
I would buy and ... ...else to do . watch it.
A monk. A punk. A chick. In a kick-ass flick.
this says it all...
Seann William Scott is funny as usual...so if all things failed to amuse you. you would find yourself smilling when movie is over
Kung pow enter the fist......
not a bad movie, however, i would't say it is an interesting one.
