The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)


The Forbidden Kingdom is one of the few Kung Fu movies I actually enjoy, although I do admit that I haven’t really seen a lot of them. This is the story of Jason Tripitakas, a modern Boston teenager, who is sent back to Ancient China by a magical staff in order to free the Monkey King. He meets legendary Kung Fu masters Jackie Chan and Jet Li along the way which teach him real Kung Fu. It is a fun contemporary view of an ancient myth, Jason’s last name hinting at the original monk in the Journey to the West.
