Chinese Movie ~ The Forbidden Kingdom [2008]

My sister is a great fan of Jet Li while I generally love to watch action packed martial arts movies so we are both holding our breathes waiting for The Forbidden Kingdom to hit the big screen.


Jackie Chan


In The Forbidden Kingdom we will be seeing both Jet Li and Jackie Chan at the same time. I guess this is will not only be the first time ever but also the ONLY time because Jet Li has been saying that he wants to stop acting in martial arts movies and Jackie Chan is not getting any younger as well for such vigorous, punishing action-packed kung fu scenes.


Jet Li & Jackie Chan


For your information, both Jackie Chan and Jet Li are great kung fu [martial arts] actors from the Far East. Their kind of kung fu is real and not the Hollywood kind where actors are given crash courses just so that they could carry out a role. No, both Jackie and Jet underwent intensive martial arts training at real Shaolin temples in China when they were young boys. You can bet that they do all their stunts themselves.

According to the official website of The Forbidden Kingdom, this movie will be released worldwide on 18th April, 2008. I wonder if we in Malaysia will get to watch the first run as well. My sister is in the United States so maybe the movie will only hit the theaters a little later. Meanwhile, watch the trailer of The Forbidden Kingdom at the official website.
