for me, Carla Gugino makes it worth it. it's not his best movie but it's an ok flik to catch once in a blue moon. that being said, I've only seen it like twice, lol. come to think of it, I don't really care for any of jet li's movies he made in the US
anyways, finally saw Thai Chi Zero last night. too much cgi kills it for me. and the story itself takes kind of a lame turn towards the beginning. the main character is supposed to be a badass who wins the war for them, and when his horn is struck, he turns into a real killer.
then his camp is attacked and he goes to the village, which then he, all of a sudden, gets his butt whooped by frail cute honeys and little girls? what happened to being one of the most skilled guys in an army?
ok maybe he's weakened because his horn is turning red to purple. that's how I made it logical in my head. I'll still watch part two because I wanna see what happens. but I think I expected too much going into it
the main girl is hella cute man, but that Claire chick was pretty smoking. the bad guy made the right choice
also, just a couple trivia things. noticed that the doctor at his army camp is the main villain in the Kung Fu Hustle movie. funny how he is able to kick the general's ass pretty easily
and uncle Qin, the bald guy who at the end guards the gate to the village during the wedding, is one of my favorite Chinese actors in terms of martial art movies and skills. i'm a huge fan of his. the guy is a badass. I loved him in the Once Upon a Time in China movies along side Jet Li. he did some of the stunts for jet li since during that time li was not in his prime anymore do to his age and some injuries
he was also discovered by Rocky's boy, Lau Kar-Leung
