OT Bulletproof Monk

No one has mentioned this movie.

-Lots- of martial arts action.

Good action all around, but no blood to speak of.

Good story with a few bumps, fun characters.

Fun bad guys included.

Just enough over the top to keep it fun.

Fun action movie.

Fun, fun, fun.

Liked it.

Thanks for posting on this, hadn't found anyone that had seen it yet, but sounds like it's worth a rental.

Esp. as I'll wait till tuesday when my friend works and use one of his free rentals.

I've seen it. Pretty funny. I always thought that watching old kung-fu movies was to way to get chicks too.
Of course I did marry late in life as well.....

hahahha Roger. Maybe that's my problem, no old kungfu movies.

I've heard this is good, and Sean William Scott has been hilarious in every movie I've seen him in. May have to rent...

"Bullet Proof Monk" is actually a movie? I thought that this thread would be about some Maoist nonsense

I was acquainted with a guy in High School who looked like Chow Yun Fat. I ought to look him up one day and beat him up.

Bruce Lee vs. Chow Yun Fat.

Place your bets everyone!

I wouldn't bet on the dead guy.
I mean he was so cool, but he IS dead. Chow Yun Fat probably could kicks his butt.

But let's talk about the Bruise vs. the H.S. guy fight:
Saudi Prince versus an old high school acquaintance? My money goes to the Prince's bodyguards who would open a big ol' sticky can on Mr. Whoever. Bruise sits back and orders more good scotch.

I thought the same thing, until I found out the movie is based on a comic book. To me, that explains a lot of the movie's style and presentation. Like someone else said, it's a fun movie, although I think the cover art is a little misleading.

oops, wrong thread.

What about that Chow Yun Fat eh?
