Product Description

From Amazon.com

Two young men--Jun-Bo (Jet Li) and Chin-Bo (Chin Siu Ho)--were taken in as boys by the monks of the Shaolin Temple, the famous school for martial arts. Jun-Bo is thoughtful and kind, but is easily swayed to misbehavior by the bullying, rebellious Chin-Bo. Their disobedient ways finally get them evicted in disgrace (after a fight with the entire school), and they wander to a nearby town, where they meet two attractive women, Miss Li (Fannie Yuen) and Siu Lin (Michelle Yeoh, a.k.a. Michelle Khan), who are part of a rebel band fighting a corrupt overlord. Chin-Bo's lust for wealth and status leads him to join forces with the overlord. Chin-Bo's treachery drives Jun-Bo insane; Jun-Bo's gradual recovery leads him to develop the discipline of tai chi, with which he ultimately topples the overlord. This plot summary of Twin Warriors doesn't do the movie justice; hardly 10 minutes go by without another spectacular fight sequence--and one of the great things about Hong Kong action movies is that women can often fight as well as the men. Early on in the movie, Siu Lin is searching for her lost husband; when she finds him, she gets into a knock-down, drag-out fight with her husband's new wife. It's unfortunate that the English language script is poor; though the characters are broad and melodramatic, they don't have to be as goofy as the dubbing makes them. Even so, it's a strong outing for Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, two of Hong Kong's action superstars. --Bret Fetzer

I was very disappointed with this item. I thought it would show the various moves in Tai Chi so one could learn how to do it. Mar 8 2012
By Dianne
Format:DVD
I only watched the first 10 minutes and realized this was a terrible mistake - it did not show any of the tai chi moves and was for teenage boys. In future I would NOT purchase any work out videos on line - I would buy them where I could see what they really involve. This was definitely NOT what I thought it would be.

Before I purchased I would want to know that it showed the whole basic tai chi program with all the stands properly reviewed so one could practice it and work on their own. This video definitely DID NOT supply any of the moves or provide anything that I could work on or benefit from.

good movie July 7 2004
Format:DVD
this movie is very good but like most of Jet Li's flicks the plot and continuity are strange. Worth owning if you are a die hard martial arts fan but, if you are selective, you might want to pass on it. And, Michelle's performance is nothing compared to what she did in Crouching Tiger.

Could have been better Jun 5 2004
Format:DVD
Jet didn't seem motivated in this one. Michelle Yeoh seemed akward in her role, and Fannie Yuen didn't fit in. I'd have to say that this is one of Jet's sillier roles, even though some of the scenes were really good.

Look for an earlier version.
The Hong Kong releases of this movie are under the title "The Tai-Chi Master" and are universally better than this release. Read more

Tai Chi too?!!?!
Featuring a cast of awesome wushu practitioners, this is a gem in the Jet Li line-up. And the Tai Chi-esque performance done at the end makes this a fun lineup.

BEWARE!
i rented this movie and while the movie is probably pretty good, Miramax completely ruined it by DUBBING it and not offering an original Chinese track w/ Eng subtitles. Read more

GREEEEEEEEAAAAAAATTTT Movie, Jet Li's best
Ok, 1000 words isn't enough to describe how good this movie is. Though the beginning starts out slow, its playfulness is amusing. Read more

One Of Jet Li's Best
This is my favorite Jet Li movie. It's full of action packed scenes then there is the humor factor which every movie needs to be rated as very good. Read more
