The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) Movie Review

According to Jackie Chan, he had talked with Jet Li about the two of them making a movie together many years ago when both were in Hong Kong, but the opportunity never presented itself. Fast-forward to 2007, when Hollywood comes calling. “The Forbidden Kingdom” is that long-awaited collaboration between two of Chinese cinema’s most famous [...]

Jet Li and Jackie Chan Survives Sarah Marshall

It was close, but as we predicted, the combination of Jet Li and Jackie Chan’s first-ever onscreen collaboration in “The Forbidden Kingdom” was just strong enough to survive a furious challenge from the Judd Apatow-produced comedy “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” to take #1 at the box office over the weekend. The Disney martial arts movie took [...]

Weekend Throwdown: Kung Fu vs. Sarah Marshall vs. Al Pacino

Jackie Chan by himself may not be enough to take down Sarah Marshall and her wacky Hawaiian vacation, or Al Pacino and his goatee (and something about a murder mystery involving young women way too hot for him), but Jackie Chan teaming up with Jet Li? Okay, so maybe they still might not have enough [...]

Reader Review: The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)

Nix here. I plan on reviewing “The Forbidden Kingdom” when it hits theaters later this month. What, I’m not going to see the first-ever martial arts collaboration between Jackie Chan and Jet Li? Yeah, yeah, I haven’t been a big fan of Chan, but I am a humongous fan of Li, and this seems like [...]

Three Clips from The Forbidden Kingdom, plus Li-Chan Fight

You know how I feel about Jackie Chan (stop doing those movies if you don’t like them, you idiot!), and you know how I feel about Jet Li (great guy, love his movies, too bad most of them are just crap — thanks, Hollywood?), now put the two of them together in a movie, and [...]

Jet Li and Jackie Chan to Work Together Again

Let’s face it, if I was a producer on “The Forbidden Kingdom”, I would dock Jackie Chan a thousand dollars every time this dope went out in public and badmouth the movie, which Chan has done regularly ever since starring in the Hollywood film alongside Jet Li. But nevermind all that. Chan apparently had so [...]

New Forbidden Kingdom Poster Features Li and Chan

Via the geeks over at geekland, AICN, here’s another poster for the upcoming Jet Li/Jackie Chan collaboration “The Forbidden Kingdom”. The new spanking poster (thumbnail to your left, bigger version below) features the film’s main selling points — namely, Li and Chan, high-kicking, er, empty air. Well, I’m sure the air had it coming. In [...]

First Look at Jet Li as the Monkey King

Here’s your first look (as far as I know) of Jet Li playing the Monkey King in the upcoming martial arts movie “The Forbidden Kingdom”. The Monkey King is one of two roles that Li will be playing; his other role is the Silent Monk (seen already in the white robes). But this is, I [...]

New The Forbidden Kingdom Images Shows Li/Chan Fights

How ridiculous is it that it took Hollywood, of all places, to not only think of the idea of putting Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie (and have them fight), but to also pull it off. Shouldn’t Hong Kong have done this, like, years ago? Oh well. From everything I’ve seen of [...]

New Forbidden Kingdom Trailer, Images

Despite having seen the trailer and all the promo images for “The Forbidden Kingdom” numerous times, I still can’t figure out if this thing is going to be good or bad, or somewhere in-between. The idea of Jet Li and Jackie Chan sharing the same screen in a martial arts movie is pretty exciting, but [...]
