The Master

Summary: Not good...
Review: Also known as "Wong Fei Hong '92", this film attempts to bring Jet Li's most famous character, Master Wong (Once upon a time in China) into the modern day. It is not good. Fei Hong comes to the US to find his master, who ironically operates a '90's Po Chi Lam (martial arts school, chinese medicine). His sifu is jumped by an American ex-student turned movie star, in an effort to take over all the schools. Jet Li, meanwhile picks up 2 hoods as his students to take revenge. Starring Billy Blanks (the King of Tae-Bo) in a short cameo as a bad guy. Director Tsui Hark could have done better. This film was shelved prior to Jet Li's big comeback as Wong Fei Hong in the Once upon a time in China series. The martial arts are pretty standard hand to hand stuff, no wires - nothing too spectacular. OK fight scene at the conclusion with some group/solo Jet li action, but this is really early work for him - and it shows. Bad acting, no screen presence & really silly story. For die-hards only...

Summary: Entertaining...
Review: Although, Jet Li has better movies out on video and VCD, I thought this movie was entertaining and funny. Any Jet Li fan would like this movie for it's simple story line, yet awesome fight sequences. It was funny to see the 3 L.A. pseudo- street gangsters following Jet Li around after they failed to steal his luggage. It's entertaining to watch.

Summary: Horrible
Review: Hard as it is to do, this film manages to make Jet Li look very, very bad. I kept having Karate Kid flashbacks! The story is the same old, same old, American martial arts move cliches, fighting for honor and all...in a place that is obviously NOT Los Angeles. The real disappointment is that the martial artists( in come cases obviously just local students for God sake!) are sub par and the choreography suffers for it. The action sequences are slow and awkward. Pass on this one guys.

Summary: Don't be fooled
Review: I have watched this movie along with many other Jet Li films. To be very honest with you this movie is one that you can keep out of your collection. I was so caught up in the title that I really was expecting much more from the film. But I was very disappointed to say the least. The movie takes place in the early eighties. When Gangs dressed in leather with chains, carrying spray paint and break danced occasionally. This was not the type of movie that I was expecting Jet Li to be in. If you want some real action packed Jet Li pick up the Contract Killer which will give you alot more for your money TRUST ME you want be disappointed.

Summary: very funny movie..really
Review: i know that a few people thought this movie didnt have enough fight scenes or what they were looking for. you cant expect fight scenes every 10 minutes in every single movie he was in. if you relax and just enjoy a good movie....then i think you can appreciate this movie for what it is. i thought it had a good amount of fight scenes with great humor. i laughed through out the whole movie. for those of you who does understand cantonese would probably understand the humor more....but to those who doesnt...there is english subtitles. the quality of the movie is not that great...it looked like it was transferred from vhs..because this is kind of an older movie. this movie is about a sifu(kungfu teacher)who gets challenged by his ex-white student who had no respect for his teacher and wanted to take over. when the sifu gets attacked....jet li. his student from hong kong comes to america and finds out what happened and teaches them a lesson. jet li is awesome as always. this movie really showcased some of his wu shu style...his real fighting skills that are masked up by newer movies like romeo must die, etc. i wish hollywood would make a movie with him showcasing his real skills to the american audiences who have never seen his real fighting abilities. i love this movie....and i plan to buy the dvd. i recommend to all to watch even if you dont plan to buy the dvd. jet li is hot as alway ;D

Summary: Bad Jet, Bad!!
Review: I know this was one of Jet Li's earlier films based on the clothing, music, and hairstyles of the characters in the movie, and Jet Li looked much younger. Anyway I was quite disappointed, I am glad Jet's movies have gotten better because this one was........my mouth hung open through most of it. Asians complain about being stereotyped in other people's movies, but there were stereotypes about everyone in this movie and I know I am just rambling on but,,,,,my goodnes........It was pretty bad. I gave it just one extra start just because it was Jet!!!

Summary: JET LI IS STILL NASTY!
Review: I love Jet Li and maybe that's why I enjoyed this movie more than most people. It's pretty cheesy at first, however, as the movie progresses Jet pulls off some really nice moves that are from wu shu which is Jet's art so it made seem more like Jet was fighting instead of doing choreography. The movie does have the bad 80's low budget look but Jet does deliver so if you are a fan of Jet I recommend you check this out.

Summary: The Master
Review: In 1989 one might have asked, "who is Jet Li?" But if you asked me, I would have boasted that he is a great martial artist. I could say this because I Also Starred with him in this movie. I played the part of Ruben (the short Latino gang member) :-). Let me first start off my critique of this movie by saying that I'd like to thank all those who took the time to share their thoughts with this forum. I personally thought the movie was full of down-to-earth, believable action. The overall acting is not that great, but the fights scenes are awesome. This movie could be enjoyable if you look pass the Hong Hong style of acting.
