Rush Hour 3 is showing now.
WAR starts showing today.

Since that is done & done - everyone is looking forward to The Forbidden Kingdom (2008).
Featuring both of Hollywood's hottest martial artists: Jackie Chan & Jet Li together!
It's like a dream movie of having both Sly and Arnold together!



The question is for this movie: Is there going to be a Jackie Chan vs Jet Li finale battle?

So far, the unconfirmed movie plots goes by that these two will be teammates instead of rivals.
Read here --> http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/forbidden_...m/news/1660697/

BUT: if there is a versus, who do you think will come on top?

*do note: forget the fact that jackie chan is old, they can always make him win anyday by the movie plot lol*
*and yes I do know there is a topic on this, but none of u replied, so i made this abit interesting by adding a poll*

my fren used to tell me, Jet Li has real kungfu while Jackie only has stunts. So im hoping jet li pwn jackie

Chuck Norris will roundhouse kick them all.

Jackie Chan joined some Shanghai theater crap with Yuen Bao and Sumo Hong whereas Jet is real Shaolin

I dun remember seeing Jackie Chan acts as villian @@
Thus, i believe Jackie chan will win lol >.< as .. good guys always win ^^ typical

they 2 also legendary...

This dude p4wns all above

vote for jet li

btw who is da indian dude, he is pwning every1 in his movie... indian legend lolzzzz

You're kidding me... Jet Li hands down man. Put a better poll like Bruce Lee vs Jet Li lah...

jet li hands down.

sure Jet Li la....

but it will hard to defeat Jackie Chan too....coz he's a good escapee...

Jackie Chan - jumped off multiple buildings and broken many bones. should have joined WWE instead. good replacement for Mick Foley

A fusion of superman, matrix and street fighter..

Chan Seng Long!

wow that indian rox......

super human pahwahh....

You haven't see Sivaji yet?

Ei, isn't Jackie "too" old for these type of movies already. Hey cmon man, he's 51 yrs old!!
I didn't like Rush Hour 3..
The fighting was so.... (duno)

I tink Jet Li will win. He has cooler name hah

Jet Li looks cool forever

Well..y their 2 fighting together??? They not allied meh?? I heard Jet Li is Sun Wukong wor..and Jackie i dunno la ...mayb Tong Sam Zhong...

I saw this interview with Jackie.
Some did suggest they were rivals etc.
But he explained that each time they met...they would exchange gifts

Not fair though to compare...different era.
Jackie started in the 70's...worked with Super Master Bruce Lee
On his peak in the 80's and 90's.

oh come on, they only fight for a movie not for real.. why u guys bother about who will win anyway... depend on the script lah who gonna win...

Jackie Chan, because he does all the dangerous stunts by himself. Look at his movies (& bloopers) during his peak.

I like Jet Li for style points. Always a pleasure to see him do his marital arts moves.

lawl.....

I'd say Jackie Chan. Here's the deal. Jet Li knows real Kung Fu. Jackie Chan knows to escape and use infinite number of objects against his opponents. As Jet Li trashes Jackie Chan, Jackie picks up a lethal object and throws/kicks/does whatever to it at Jet Li with precision. Jet Li is down and out.

Got a point there.

People tend to forget that after Bruce Lee died, Hong Kong film industry wants Jackie Chan to be the next big thing.
But he failed...because no one can replace Bruce Lee as a tough martial arts actor...the "wataaa!!!" thing.

So, Jackie try a different approach...comedy and action = success.

Jet Li - Started as a martial arts (wanna be good, started when you're 5 years old at least)
Jackie Chan - started in an acting school (martial arts, acrobatic etc.) together with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

Me more of a Jackie Chan fan

Jet Li vs Donnie Yen is more interesting. Jackie Chan don't kill ppl.

WRONG!

Jet Li VS Tony Jaa would be a more interesting choice. that guy can kill using his balls! just like in Tom Yoong Goong. jackie is an old fart who makes a fool of himself in Rush Hour. i cant forgive him for making Asians look dumb..

7 years down the road and his english is still crappy......at least jet li speaks better english

finally someone has the same opinion

Tony Jaa is waaaay too small to be compare to how much epic Jackie and Jet are today (just my opinion).

Which is why I made the legendary comparison that:

Jackie Chan vs Jet Li = Asian version of Sly vs Arnold

Oh uh...I flaming detected

I enjoy both of their movies.

BTW, Donnie Yen is a cool martial artist....good looking and tough.

sly vs arnold? exactly why this movie wont work. they are both aging. at least jet is still 44. jackie i think is over 50. can u imagine Sly and Ahnold making a movie together these days? it would be like watching Macho Man vs Roddy Piper. slow n dull.

the interesting part of this movie is how they would fit the style of both actor in one film. jackie likes Buster Keaton-esque action sequence while Jet is more intense and serious. it would be an interesting combination and experiment

I still think Tony Jaa can pwnd Jackie.

isk isk isk...
i cant choose at all! both are my heroes...
i will be in the primier of the movie for sure!

it just a movie

both of them uses real martial art, both great actor as well. jet li more on action movies while jackie chan attracts with comedy. ppl tend to said that jackie's martial art is not real, maybe because of he combines it with some funny tricks while fighting. hollywood, attraction is the main thing.

anyway, hands down to both of them

jet li all the way~~ he's better looking hahaha

Jet Li has real martial arts but i prefer Jackie Chan 4 his fighting & comedies movies.. nv seen Jet Li in comedies movie..

no point comparing...both from different era

anyway, The Forbidden Kingdom is not martial arts/action oriented movie....its more like a Disney-like fantasy plot targeted to family/kids.

dont put high expeectations...

Thing is, that shit is all choreographed.

i support Jet Li

Forbidden kingdom press conference report

The trailer is up..have your say

Trailer

This post has been edited by memento: Dec 31 2007, 10:24 AM

YouTube Version

Newest trailer is up.

"We can kill each other when this is over"
oh lol this is gonna be one awesome movie

SO it's an English movie, hahaha, must admit this gonna be Jackie Chan & Jet Li's best ever English movie...hahaha

NO CHUCK NORRIS!??!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?

Who's the bounty hounter in white hair? Is that Fann Wong?

it's so weird with them speaking english in this movie. everything looks oriental except for that dude and the language spoken.

will splash my hard earned rm 10 (or more) for this movie though.

jackie chan vs jet li is like hard rock vs jazz.
its different. ahahaa

hais... only if its in chinese or cantonese eh ?
too bad..too bad..
but gonna give it a go too anyway..

looks great to me

The bounty hunter is li bing bing. She stars in world without thieves, love for all seasons, linger, silver hawk and etc.

The movie also stars liu yi fei.

a white boy in a kung fu movie for kids.


DISASTER.

ermm... Hollywood?? Just think it would much more appropriate to put as "Chinese" instead of Hollywood

Sien... before this i still thought is a chinese movie, turn-up i only knew is a western movie when saw the trailer... i expected dissapointed on this movie, so won't put up high hope on it..

Movie will SUX.

THE END.

Jackie Chan's looks are not compatible in that role.

huhu got yi fei dear

why...the poll dun have liu yifei?

liu yi fei pawns all.....muahaha

lol the poll is biased

Liu Yi Fei FTW

jackie chan would win. jet li's achievements are all in performance arts, doing pre-arranged patterns, none in fighting. sure he look good, but can he really fight?
i used to be a jet li fan until 2 days ago, my bf scold me for putting jetli's pic as wallpaper instead of him...
wahahhaha

by the looks of it(trailer)..jackie chan and jet li looks more like they are in the same gang

Why no Michael Angarano? This poll is racist.

i just realise that its an english speaking movie.... >.< that would sound so weird to hear chinese speaking english to each other. aiks...

Jackie Chan is no match to Bruce Lee

got a feeling this movie could be a very nice hollywood for jackie and jet. i saw the latest trailer and the director (same director with lion king) blends well with the CGI and the fighting is from corey yuen...

moreover they have 2 hot chics in the movie...

movie length is 1 hours 53 mins...

i think no matter wat, i'll support it in cinema!!

Jet Li vs. Jackie Chan... so easy...

Jackie Chan would pwn Li's as...

Why ? Did you not watch Rush Hour 1,2,3 or any other Jackie films? He could throw a chair just by laying on the ground and using his legs. Jet Li won't see it coming, as he only good at martial arts...

Jet Li is doing his thing, bending his legs and posing for an attack position on Jackie. Then Jackie hurls a giant table at Li, and Li can't quite dodge it. Smack !!!

Jackie Chan wins.

I agree.

Jackie Chan is very resourceful with the environment.

Jet Li is very good in martial art only.

Exactly. It's supposed to be set in ancient China. It's very very weird seeing them speaking english. It's the same with Memoirs of a Geisha - what's with the japanese speaking extras and english speaking leads?

I'll presume that there's no chairs or ladders or other stuffs lying all over the place for Jackie to manipulate with. If it's hands to hands combat, Jet Li definately pawns Jackie. Different story if it's set in modern time though.

Haih... I was excited when I found out that they are working together but in an english speaking movie set in ancient China? Sad to say, I might give it a miss. You guys who have watched it, please post some reviews. If it's worth cringing over the weirdness of them speaking in english, I might reconsider

jackie chan lerr... he's the taiko ma!! hehe

jet li,my favourite kung fu actor, Wong Fei Hong.

The movie was pretty awkward ...in english, it should be in original language, mandonese.

Praying mantis vs druken master, I think drunken master is 'invulnerable' of pain

I vote for Jackie...

@Jet Li: I tot you want to quit action movies...

@ to all,

i think you guys misunderstanding on what Jet Li said.
He said he won't make a kung fu/martial arts movies based on real chinese kung fu heroes like Wong Fei Hong, Fong Sai Yuk etc etc...Fok Yun Kap was his last Chinese kung fu character he made

jet li vs jackie chan,
jet li wins...
because he can fly...

i always like wong fei hong

sure Jet Li wins la....

Jackie Chan only knows how to evade ....

Jet Li skills are truely top class martial artist....

got to agree that its awkward to have both of them in ancient time speaking english....perhaps there's twist to it?? i'm gonna watch it anyway....

RM11 for both biggest asian action stars of my time..... over my dead body if u ask me to pass it....

I'm going to watch it on Saturday!!!!!

Hope it won't disappoint me...

jet lee coz he is impervious to pain. plus dia ada no shadow kick from Fushan. he killed Donnie Yen with just a milimeter of bamboo. and as we see in THE ONE. only Jet Lee can defeat Jet Lee. this is a scientific fact!

wah u sound like one of the chuck norris fans

lol

jk only la kawan

both are good but i prefer jet li as he is the martial art hero of today's films

I was actually looking forward to this movie when I first heard of it until recently when I found out it's in English, damn potong stim. Now still pondering whether to watch it or not.

wei, so nobody saw it yet? wondering how is it like..

oh... just saw the trailer... Jackie saying "He doesn;t know kung fu" in english, in a wu xia type environment is truly surreal. Who knew they spoke english in china?

jz saw it 9.30pm show.... u will go home amazed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









and feeling stupid bcoz chinese monk, chinese drunken master, chinese monkey king, chinese god all speak english. stil a must watch bcoz it has jet li & jackychan in it eventhough its a typical crap kungfu movie by gwailo producer. dont go in with much high expectation n u might enjoy the movie.

Just came back from watching it. Did not expect it to be good because its a Hollywood movie but it turns out to be OK.

What I like about the movie:-
1) The fight scenes is quite good especially the fight between Jackie and Jet (comparable with the fight scenes from Croughing Tiger between our Datuk Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi)
2) Special effects is OK not great but not too bad either
3) Li Bing Bing shines as the White Hair Witch even though her screen time is very short (tribute to Bride with White Hair)
4) Crystal Liu shines as well but not as good as in Condor Heroes (fanboys will love this)
4) Even though it sounds strange but quotes of Chinese proverbs in English sounds real funny (Example, One mountain cannot have two tigers)
5) Nice way of re-imagining the Journey to the West story and some famous wuxia stories (purist might hate this)

What I don't like about the movie (its longer than what I like about the movie but it does not mean the movie is very bad):-
1) The real hero of the movie is an annoying white kid who looks like a cheap knockoff of Shia Labeouf
2) Too little screen time is given for the fight scenes between Jackie and Jet
3) The story is way too disjointed until you don't feel exciting
4) All the villians wear too much eye make-up until they look stupid instead of menacing
5) Collin Chou is wasted here. His fight scenes with Jet is too short and there were not even a fight with Jackie.
6) Jackie's character totally disappears at the climax and only re-appears at the end.
7) Really cheesy way to travel back in China
8) Cheesy way for the Jade emperor and his wife to float away

Overall, I feel its a wasted chance for a better movie between Jet and Jackie. It could have been much more better if its a HK movie handled by someone like Tsui Hark.

Note: Most of the gwailoh reviewers cannot get the story especially why the Monkey King is so important and why he fights in a childish way.

woah, saw it already yeah... Love it man

1. Love the comedy...
2. Love the fighting... damn JC vs JL fuh yeah2 love the Drunken Master Kung-Fu, Tiger, Mantis, Snake Kung-Fu haha... sure it hit hard man...
3. Love the cute2 chix

Overall, its kinda a Comedy type of movie, not a Kung-Fu fighting movie haha... Comedy > Kung-Fu

So for you guys/garls out there... Should check this film out... Worth my rm6 haha...

Told ya guys this movie is good

Btw:

just watched movie...overall its not bad... just that it would be better if its in mandarin or even cantonese...
the direct translation from chinese to english is a total crap...especially when jet li taught the boy some kung fu theories..
but the fighting part between jet and jackie is superb~!!!!

watched it... my rating goes 5/10..
something is wrong but i don't know
i didnt feel the climax
and the english is spoiling everything..
even im malay but if they speak chinese is better...
sound funny la

only 5 over 10 ?

ya... 5/10 only? coz thought tomorrow wanna go watch...

Well its a movie full of expectation but somehow din really match the expectation..It would certainly be better if its in Chinese( not canton plz cuz it might be cheesy too..) cuz when the Chinese casts speak in English everythin went wary..Its kinda kinky and awkward..But sometimes if u give tis kind of movie to Chinese directors, they will turn it into crap too..

Anways, its a decent movie for a family to watch and there's great humor instill in the movie..JC and JL fans should watch tis one as the fight scene is quite epic(would be much better if JL is the villain though..he's good as a bad guy)

I LOL at Colin Chou accent..its so ghey man..but hilarious and cool at the same time.. Li Bing2 is one hot lady.. prefer her over Liu Yi Fei a.k.a Golden Sparrow..

For me, the movie not bad or good, just soso only.

And they change the original story of Monkey King which is unforgivable!

And another big problem is, if they wan to speak english, just use english for whole movie, why speak english then suddenly speak 2 chinese words. It spoilt the whole movie n the viewer mood. What I suggest should be, when talk to the white kid, use english, when Jet Li and Jackie Chan speak, should use chinese. But another problem come out that the white kid don't understand what they say. So all in all, should find a white kid who knows chinese!

And the funny part for me is the Mountain of Flower and Fruit! =.=" Sweat.

Woh.. So many criticism comments. Should go watch or not.. Hmmm...

go online & ...................

jus go n enjoy the movie...
don think too much or too deep in mind...
relax n enjoy the story....
it nice n good movie.....

This film is in English... cool

quite disappointing. the plot is mediocre. i was expecting fighting scenes betweeen jackie and jet li. and i think the movie would be much much better if its not in english (but then later how the main character gonna converse )
