The Forbidden Kingdom or King of Kungfu is an upcoming adventure movie starring the two biggest action stars from Asia at the moment, Jackie Chan and Jet Li. This movie is the first collaboration [and most probably the last] between the two martial arts veterans with Corey Yuen Woo Ping of The Matrix fame as the action choreographer. It also stars the beautiful Crystal Liu Yi Fei, a Chinese actress and singer who had starred in many popular wuxia or period kungfu dramas. Here’s the synopsis of the movie:

American teenager Jason [Michael Angarano], who is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kungfu classics, finds an antique Chinese staff in a pawn shop. The antique staff is the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King [Jet Li]. With the lost relic in hand, Jason unexpectedly finds himself transported back to ancient China. There, he meets the drunken kungfu master, Lu Yan [Jackie Chan]; an enigmatic and skillful Silent Monk [also by Jet Li]; and a vengeance-bent kungfu beauty, Golden Sparrow [Crystal Liu Yi Fei].

They lead him on his quest to return the staff to its rightful owner, the Monkey King - imprisoned in stone by the evil Jade Warlord [Collin Chou] for five hundred years. Along the way, while attempting to outmaneuver scores of Jade Warriors, Cult Killers and the deadly White Hair Demoness, Ni Chang [Li Bing Bing], Jason learns about honor, loyalty and friendship, and the true meaning of kungfu, and thus frees himself.
