Member Rating:  
Hong Kong star Jet Li portrays the inventor of T'ai Chi in this entertaining if not historically accurate martial-arts movie. Junbao (Li) and Tienbao (Chin Siu-Ho) are a pair of young monks studying kung fu in a Shaolin temple. Junbao is balanced and humble, but Tienbao is competitive and eager to advance. The two are wrongfully accused of cheating during a tournament and are expelled. From there they take radically different paths. Tienbao becomes a mercenary for an evil warlord, and Junbao joins a rebel group led by Michelle Yeoh. Tienbao betrays Junbao; Junbao loses his memory in the resulting fight. While recuperating, he develops the graceful T'ai Chi fighting style. Although many may find the cartoonish, acrobatic fight sequences to be campy, they are elaborate and dazzling. ~ Jonathan E. Laxamana, Rovi

This movie is great. My family enjoyed it very much. We even shared a few laughs at the funny parts. Everyone who likes Jet Li or karate will not be disappointed. Buy or rent this movie today.

Junbao (Jet Li Lian Jie) and Tienbao (Chin Siu-Ho) are Shaolin disciples and friends since very young. Tienbao seems to always get them both into trouble with his agressive ways. His behavior gets him expelled and Junbao stays with him. The two monks have to find their way in the real world and trouble seems to find them. There are cool fighting scenes and a part where Jet Li's character goes crazy that is very funny.
