Member mark187 Posted January 31, 2008 Member Share Posted January 31, 2008 those new character posters are pretty nice, none for Collin Chou though? also, I read somewhere that Wu Jing is in this but I'd never heard anything about that before or since...I'm guessing that whoever listed that info was mistaking this for Mummy 3.

Member Sifu Posted February 2, 2008 Member Share Posted February 2, 2008 First review of Forbidden Kingdom from a test screening (Spoiler alert) http://www.aintitcool.com/node/35467 Well, it's wrong. The story has them looking for the Monkey King, so how is he looking for him and is the Monkey King at the same time? Don't always believe what you read.

Member Elhcay Posted February 2, 2008 Member Share Posted February 2, 2008 Jet's playing two different roles in the movie - silent monk AND monkey king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they meant to add Wu Jing under Mummy 3 but mistakeningly added it to Forbidden Kingdom and it's now removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member theportlykicker Posted February 2, 2008 Member Share Posted February 2, 2008 Cool, sounds like it might be half decent afterall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted February 2, 2008 Member Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think this is going to be an international hit. The cinematography looks gorgeous. Jakie and Jet who could ask for anything more. GDY-Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted February 2, 2008 Member Share Posted February 2, 2008 Why? I think it will make this movie a BIG hit in the USA. So what. A white kid in the movie. Well imagine if he was black or red or whatever color. I think it will give it an interesting contrast. But whats funny is in the trailer the kid and Jackie are speaking English it seems right off the bat. Or maybe they lead in to it. Hey the kid could have been a language major and know Chinese. But what the ---- as long as the movie delivers and my sixth sense says it will. GDY-Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is mainly a kid's movie, let's remember that. The adults were the last thing on their minds when filming this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Sifu Posted February 5, 2008 Member Share Posted February 5, 2008 Actors can play two roles in the same movie. Perhaps, maybe that's the twist or something! He's the monk and turns out being Wukong (The Monkey King), I doubt it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Elhcay Posted February 5, 2008 Member Share Posted February 5, 2008 Before going further, please refer to the last post on the previous page. And now, for spoilers, twists concerning Monkey King and Silent Monk, Jet has explained it in his blog. SPOILERS Silent Monk is a strand of hair transformed from Monkey King. And there's a further spoiler but that would probably ruin movie experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now, for spoilers, twists concerning Monkey King and Silent Monk, Jet has explained it in his blog. I knew it! SPOILERS Silent Monk is a strand of hair transformed from Monkey King. And there's a further spoiler but that would probably ruin movie experience. That's such a cool concept! I remeber that from the Shaw Bros. movie Monkey Goes West that I mentioned in the past, he'd take the hairs blow on them and they'd spawn new monkeys. Of course that's originally from the novel.

Member theportlykicker Posted February 10, 2008 Member Share Posted February 10, 2008 Looks like there's gonna be some old school-style training sequences. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member gorhama Posted February 10, 2008 Member Share Posted February 10, 2008 I agree the more of see of this movie the better it looks. I mean with Woo Ping, Jackie and Jet at least the fight scenes will be good. Also with a studio like Lionsgate and the Weinsteins...maybe they will actually devote a decent amount of screen time to the fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Sifu Posted February 11, 2008 Member Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'm sorry, but holy crap! It's just set in, Jackie Chan vs. Jet Li! Who better than Yuen Woo Ping to be behind it?! I'll tell you, no one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
