Bullet Proof Monk (2003)

BulletProofMonk

Personal Thoughts: Different…yes I know your wondering why im reviewing Bullet Proof Monk, with its bad reception from Chow Yun-Fat’s past US movies. ‘Monk’ – aka The Monk with no name (played by Chow Yun-Fat), has been giving a scroll from his mentor, the scroll having some strong power behind, so it better not fall into wrong hands. Yet a group of militants take out all of the monks where he is training at, whom are after the scroll. After chasing Monk he takes a dive from a cliff, with the scroll.

Monk some how appears 60 into the future (2004) where he helps a girl in need with help from a pickpocket, Kar (played Seann William Scott). Kau earns a living pick pocketing and working in a Chinese theatre, which he developed some martial arts from watching the films, which helps him against a gang of subway thugs, including Jade (played by Jamie King). After stealing the scroll from Monk, Kar is now followed by Monk and attempts to take him under his wing and make him achieve spiritual enlightenment, yet it seems from early on Kar has feelings for Jade. Yet she tracks him down after realizing he stole her jade necklace. The group of militants are back, yes…but they have aged, the leader of the nazi’s is now in a wheelchair. Read More
