My friends call me Ackbar


This was definitley Jet Li's most entertaining American movie. It was funny
without being stupid, and I liked the hip-hop feel of it. None of the fights
were bad, Jet VS. Russell Wong at the end is one of the best kung fu movie
fights in recent history. Russell knows some stuff. Jet and Aalyiah had a
great chemistry...damn I miss her. I think Isiah Washington doesn't get enough
love, he was great in here, and I've never seen Delroy Lindo bomb in a movie.
Anthony Anderson can always be counted on for comic relief. And of course Mr.
Li, he is the closest thing we'll ever see to having the Dragon come back from
the great beyond. His skills can't be described on a message board, and he
proved he's got some acting ability. A good introduction for him to American
audiences. Fast-paced, entertaining movie all the way. Again, his fight with
Russell Wong was AWESOME. It was what Jet VS. Mark Dacascos in Cradle 2 The
Grave should have been.

Russel Wong: good & skilled actor
Jet Li: blows big-time. Mark Dacascos, to name one of many, is way better than Jet. too bad Jet broke through while Dacascos still hasnĀ“t had his definitive breakthrough and shot to fame.
