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.
While the film starts off somewhat goofy, by the final third the whole martial arts crazyness finally kicks in. I don't know what it is about Asian men/women with long platinum hair, but it is absolutely, what's a good word here, badass! What? You thought I was going to say hot?
