Although I enjoy Yun-Fat Chow movies, I was disappointed with this one. The movie just fails to trigger any emotions and the fighting scenes are not very exciting. It only has enough to be a bit above the average.
i luv the film. i bought it b4 but it went misin. i enjoyd it that much i had 2 but it again.the dvd is in excellant condition & im gona enjoy watchin it ova & ova again.
i have senn this film many times before and it is one of the best films i have seen. i would reccomend anybody that has not watched this film to buy it or just watch it. it has lots of action and adventure and you would not get bored.
Excellent special effects with the martial arts moves. Many funny parts and will keep you entertained throughout. A must for martial arts fans with great moves from Chow Yun-Fat and for those who like Seann William Scott- brings in the comedy aspect to the film. Great!
Now, to fulfil an ancient prophecy, he has found the one who's supposed to take his place-and it's the most unlikey candidate of all.
In this dazzling action adventure, the Monk (Chow Yun-Fat) 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 named Kar (Sean William-Scott). Using high-flying acrobats, 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!
My Brother in law has been going on about this film for years. I enjoyed other films with the main characters ( like evolution and Dukes of Hazard ) so took his advice and bought it. And really enjoyed. Bit of a mix of various films like crouching tiger, flying dragon type effects, yet also very much reminded me of the older films like Big trouble in little china due to the way its filmed.
I had seen this film on rental and liked it so I had a look on ebay to purchase it. I was a bit dubious because I don't normally buy dvds this way as the risk of getting a copy is quite high. However, I was extremely pleased with this genuine copy. The dvd was in excellent condition as was the case and the picture quality.
An excellent acton film with a little humour. 'Stifler' was excellent in this. I initally thought it would be very difficult for him to play a slightly more serious role but he pulled it off very well. Thus film is a must watch for any action fanatics.
I brought this for my son, cause he watched it at school before Christmas. It is a good action film, that even my 10 year old enjoyed. We watched it as a family, and you couldn't fail to be excited by it, even if you thought it wouldn't be your cup of tea.
we never had seen bullet proof monk when it was realeased and i spotted a bargain price for it on ebay so i thought id treat my partner as he likes seann william scott he plays great roles in all his films
An attempt at Rush Hour but without its 2 main assets - Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Its an allright film with some decent action sequences, but if you want to see Chow Yun Fat doing martial arts then get Chrouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, if you want an action comedy go for the brillaint Rush Hour or Bad Boys.
