Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com

The tremendous charisma of Chow Yun-fat anchors this entertaining comic-book romp. Bulletproof Monk centers around a monk with no name (Chow) dedicated to protecting a sacred scroll that can give world-manipulating power to anyone who reads it. A hidden Nazi has been pursuing the scroll for 60 years and has finally caught up with the monk in present-day New York City; meanwhile, the monk suspects he may have found a disciple in a petty thief (Seann William Scott, Dude, Where's My Car?, American Pie) who's learned kung fu from watching double-feature chopsocky flicks. Don't let the presence of Chow Yun-fat lead you to expect much substance--this doesn't have the emotional scope of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or the visual panache of Hard-Boiled. But Bulletproof Monk is a cheerful, tightly edited, unpretentious action flick with flashes of humor, good for a mindless evening's entertainment. Also featuring Jaime (a.k.a. James) King (Blow). --Bret Fetzer

1.0 out of 5 stars Got it for free, and felt I had spent too much., May 19 2004

I got this movie for free in a buy two get one free type of deal (couldn't find a third I really wanted, so took a shot with this).
First off, the dialogue is so bad it is almost painful to listen too. Granted, I expected as much and, for the most part, got the movie because I heard it had good action scenes. Wrong. The action scenes were mediocre at best, and they seemed few and far between as well. (I don't know why they picture Monk with guns on the cover anyway. He uses them once and spends the majority of his time running away rather than fighting.)

To sum up, I'm quite frankly embarassed to have this movie in my possession. Maybe I'll donate to the local library so other people curious about this trash may only have to waste their time and not their money as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars TELL ME THIS DIDN't HAPPEN!!!!, April 22 2004
This review is from: Bulletproof Monk (DVD)
After watching the trailer, seeing Chow-Yun Fat with twin desert eagles, I was thinking, Chow-Yun fat was bringing his good ol' gun blazin' action to USA films. Even though it was PG-13, I was thinking it might be a movie like the transporter, only better.

But I was wrong! Chow-Yun Fat is definitly losing it or sellin-out!! He only used the guns once(And didn't kill anybody)!!! WTF!!!! I was hoping I could get a laugh or two out of it with Sean-William Scoot in it, but he was hardly funny!! The only time I laughed at this movie, was when I realized how much this film made a fool out of me!! To waste money to watch it!

What ever happened to Chow-Yun fat in the good ol' days, like where he was a stright up killer, in the Killer, and a criminal killing machine in hard boiled!!? I just wish that one day, Chow-Yun fat and John-Woo(Who's slipping too, but no as bad as Chow!) can colaborate again, and bring some of the good ol' days to the future with justice.

Anyway, if you want a action movie,get Hard Boiled, the Killer, Face off, or Bad Boys 1&2, but not this; if you want a comedy movie go get Clerks, Road Trip, Billy Madison, or Friday, but not this, if you want a good fantasy, get Crouchin Tiger Hidden Dragon, the Crow, or Spirited Away, but not this, if you want a good martial arts film, get Enter the Dragon, The Matrix, The drunken master, or Once upon a time in china but not this. Just avoid this movie!!

Peace

1.0 out of 5 stars Based on a true story, April 15 2004
By 
This review is from: Bulletproof Monk (DVD)
So bad it goes beyond bad to that special hell of movies where the director finds a way to inflict crap at a whole new level.

This is ubercrap taken above the level that most stupid directors can only dream about.

The possibility of a normal human watching the entire movie without some sort of massive hemorrhage is very slim since the brain would be acting in the best interest of the human.

If you inflicted this movie on someone who had just regained their sight, they would be praying for a quick and merciful return to the former state of blindness.

The music in the movie is so bad that many people, who were though deaf, cried out in pain. Not hearing, but feeling the sonic defecation as it de fouled the very molecules air around them.

If you have a enemy in your life, send them this movie. After they see this your enemy will know you are without mercy. They will fear you.

A bag of wet rocks shows more range and depth of acting skill that Seann William Scott. His acting is so bad it makes you question not only the existence of a god, but any reason for anything in life at all.

I truly belive that when CUT was called, he would stand stone still and drool, waiting for commands from the director. Amused by things with lots of bright colors and balls of tinfoil.

The screenwriter has all the skill that only some grade 3 children have. Only those children in a very short bus.

I notice the DVD comes with a directors commentary. I can only assume that it contains the unintelligent yelps and screams of the director as hurls his tattered notes at the microphone and removes his eyes after seeing what he has done.

Chow Yun-Fat looks as if doing this movie was as much fun as a man who is striped naked in public and has his manhood laughed at by passing crowds.

The story you ask? It has Nazis stealing the youthful power of monks to become all powerful!

Even retarded people would think this movie was stupid.
