In Forbidden Kingdom, American teenager Jason (Michael Angarano), who is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kungfu classics, finds an antique Chinese staff in a pawn shop: the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King (Jet Li). With the lost relic in hand, Jason unexpectedly finds himself transported back to ancient China.
Any film that teams Jet Li and Jackie Chan sounds at least entertaining enough. While one would expect some martial arts on display in the first poster, Lionsgate has taken the more mysterious approach.
The Forbidden Kingdom
The Forbidden Kingdom opens to theatres on April 18th, 2008.
