I love Jackie Chan, and since Fearless, Jet Li.  I was never into the 70s kung fu movies, but when you get true artists like Jackie and Jet who are not spring chickens but don't give a clue when you watch them perform those stunts and some of those moves, it's on the level with a ballerina or ballroom dancer.  It's like watching art and I loved that part of it.  I have alot of respect for people that can do things I can't (things that are legal and moral, ethical, etc) and that's what this is.  On top of it the storyline was interesting and I loved Jackie's "dual" character...If I say more it'll give away the end.    I also loved Jet's dual character...did everyone catch that he was also the Monkey King at the beginning?  My husband caught that.

 Another of my favorite aspects of the movie was the "drop-ins" of Jackie's dry and hilarious sense of humor..."Don't you have a running monk?"  I laughed out loud!!!

 Definitely worth the 7.50 to see it!
