THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM

The Forbidden Kingdom is an adventure film directed by Rob Minkoff. The film showcases some of the amazing martial arts by Jackie Chan and Jet Li. This is the first film to feature both these martial art giants together. Jason Tripitikas (Michael Angarano) is a fan of kung fu movies. Hop, the owner of a pawn shop, is shot dead by some thieves when they try to steal the shop. Injured Hop handles a golden staff to Jason and asks him to deliver it to the right person. The staff takes Jason to ancient China. There he meets Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) who tells him about the Monkey King and his golden staff. The Monkey King was converted into a statue by a Jade Warlord before he threw his staff out of the warlord’s reach. The staff must be handled back to the Monkey King in order to free him. Later Lu Yan and Jason are attacked by the Warlord’s army. A young girl named Golden Sparrow comes to their rescue. The Warlord sends Ni Chang to retrieve the staff in exchange of the elixir of immortality. Jason and Lu Yan along with a silent monk rush to handle the staff to the Monkey King. On their way Lu Yan is injured by Ni Chang’s arrow and has to be given the elixir to heal him. Will Jason handle the staff to the Monkey King? Will Lu Yan get the elixir? Who will emerge victorious in the battle between the Monkey King and the Warlord? This makes the rest of the movie.
