Legendary martial arts stars
Jackie Chan and
Jet Li come together onscreen for the first time ever in director Rob Minkoff's time traveling take on the Monkey king fable that finds an American teen transported back to ancient China after wandering into a pawn shop and discovering the king's fighting stick. Once there, the adventurous teen joins an army of fierce warriors who have sworn to free their imprisoned king at all costs. In addition to appearing as the mythical Monkey King, Li will also assume the role as a silent monk as Chan appears in the role of the monk T'sa-Ho. Famed action choreographer Yuen Woo-ping presides over the fight sequences. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
