Henchwomen Fight

In 2008 movie The Forbidden Kingdom. Actress Bingbing Li plays as villainess Ni Chang. The first time I watched this movie, I was very excited, like Jackie Chan and Jet Li in the same movie, like two of the greatest marital artists of their time sharing the same screen, I absolutely forgot what this movie is about now, which I think is a good thing since it's a rewatch, so it's kind of watching it as a new movie.

Ok, Jason Tripitikas, who is kind of the main character in this movie traveled into a different world, from what I see, it's China, China is the most beautiful country on earth, no wonder the Chinese people have so much creative freedom and most decent movies and even video games come from China. I had enough money and get old enough to retire, I would prefer to spend the last of my years in China in a beautiful place like the one in this movie, then I can go out in peace.

I really don't get, if China and other countries near China like Nepal have such insanely beautiful landscapes, why western studios film their movies outside China, then try to cash on it in the Chinese box office, if you want to compete with Chinese movies, at least film some of your movies and TV shows in China, If your biggest market is USA, and your second biggest market is China, it makes so much sense to film in such amazing landscape. 

Finished 30 minutes, and wow, that was insanely good, so wholesome, like you can never make a movie like this today due to western censorship.

We are being introduced for the first time to our gorgeous evil witch after Jade Warlord summoned her to keep The Monkey King from being resurrected.

We see Jet Li once again around 37 minutes, apparently he's playing two characters in the movie.

God, Jackie making a conversation with Jet Li, like, it's so amazing..

The fight that follows is amazing, the Choreography is insanely good, you can watch it here.

We first see our evil goddess around 45 minutes mark..

This scene is hilarious.

Around 50 minutes mark, Golden Sparrow played by the beautiful actress Yifei Liu, tells us about her backstory, which make me think, this movie would make a great TV show, only instead of keeping giving us flashbacks and backstories, just make them in order, like build a world with all the characters, take characters like Golden Sparrow for example, and make the character grow up while at the same time the Monkey King challenges The Jade Warlord, and the season ends with The Jade Warlord triumph, then you introduce the character of Jason Tripitikas, that would be awesome, but in order for it to work, it need to be made by true artists and western thought police should stay as far from it as possible.

 The climax of the movie starts around 1 hour 18 minutes..

Wow, that was awesome, what an awesome experience, that's what is called a movie. It's like a century ahead of anything made today.
