The Controversial Good Boy Gone Bad

What happens when 2 Kung Fu masters meet up? That’s when you have “The Forbidden Kingdom“, Jackie Chan and Jet Li took the roles of becoming two Kung Fu masters in the movie, well what else can they possibly act? After watching the show, I only have one word to describe it - “Groundbreaking!”

*Synopsis* (No spoilers - Don’t worry)

This is about a boy who mysteriously traveled back into time to perform a task which is to return the magical staff to the Monkey king and he met up with 2 Kung Fu masters and a pretty babe, they travel together but their task was often interrupted by those evil motherfuckers. In order to make sure the staff returns to the rightful owner, they have to kick the baddies’ asses. Did they manage to do that? GO WATCH! And remember, what you know about “The Journey To The West” is totally not relevant with the movie.

In case you start to think, “Fuck it, Kung Fu movies, Jet Li and Jackie Chan won’t die one lah”, don’t be too sure because true enough they display various types of Kung Fu but this movie includes MAGIC! The show will NEVER bore you, trust me, just when you expect this will happen, they just prove you wrong. Even the ancient Chinese people can speak in ENGLISH, what are the things that cannot happen? Cut the crap, let’s meet the characters.

The Protagonists

Michael Angarano as Jason Triptikas

Jason is a super Kung Fu movies addict, but he knows NO SHIT about Kung Fu, duh, what can you expect from a modern American kid? He was given a task to return the Magical staff to the Monkey King, how did the staff disappeared from the Monkey King? You will kill me if I spoil it. On this journey he met up with Jackie Chan and Jet Li, both teach him Kung Fu but in the end did he manage to succeed? - Not telling. :P

(Michael Angarano is not really a famous actor but I believe after this movie he’s going to get much recognition, reminds me of Shia LaBeouf who became a major star after “Transformer”. Michael is a good actor, no doubt about it!)

Jackie Chan as Lu Yan

Nobody will watch the show if Jackie Chan doesn’t show his moves in the movie. Here Jackie plays Lu Yan, a super good Kung Fu master who always get drunk with an excuse - Wine is his elixir to keep him alive and maintain his immortality. He was a lonesome traveler, sometimes known as a beggar who saves Jason’s life and hence becoming a teacher.

(Damn this old man, Jackie is getting old but he never fails to deliver thrills to the audience when he demonstrates his skills. He’s the Jackie Chan we always know, STILL strong and active!)

—

Jet Li as The Silent Monk and (A character which I won’t spoil)

The Silent Monk joins the group after exchanging skills with Lu Yan. He is another person who possesses great Kung Fu skills and he’s one of Jason’s teachers. His origins and background were not revealed until the climax part, this is when all of us went “Ohhhhhh…. I see” in the cinema.

(I know why he can’t speak, Jet Li’s English sucks like hell. At least Jackie speaks better than he does. But fuck it, Jet Li’s skills are pretty awesome too!)

—

Liu YiFei as the Golden Sparrow

The Golden Sparrow joins Jason and LuYan after knowing that they are on a quest to return the magical staffs, but she joins with a reason, she vows to avenge her parents who were killed by Jade Soldier. She practices everyday so that her martial skills will become stronger and stronger. Can she fly since she is the sparrow?

(I’ve never seen her but she’s one beautiful chick! She looks pretty and sweet but wow when she displays her ferocious side (don’t tell me it’s just the stunt men), she is very amazing!)

The Antagonist

Shaohua Yang as Jade Soldier

This is one coward motherfucker who caused the Monkey God’s staff to disappear. And where’s the Monkey God? Bitch hid him somewhere, and where? Go watch! Goodness, guys if you see him, please take a moment staring at his eyeshadows, looks like one EMO shit to me. He is the main villain, very evil and vicious. He is AN IMMORTAL. So if he is an immortal, how can he be defeated?

—

Li BingBing as Ni Chang

She is known as the White Haired Bitch in the movie, I thought she’s a Japanese but hell no, this bitch can speak Mandarin and English well. She wants to be immortal thus she’ll do whatever it takes to obey the Jade Soldier, of course, bitch possesses great Kung Fu skill and can fly. Her weapons are her sharp claws nails, the whip and HER HAIR. Ladies, go ask this bitch what hair shampoo she used till her hair can be lengthened and attack people too! Wahahaha but I must say, she is very very very pretty.
