Trivia:
As someone mentioned earlier, Yulaw uses xingyi quan. There is a scene in the movie where is he practicing his xingyi when he's shackled and jailed. This is a reference to the famous Xingyi master Kuo Yun Shen who did the same thing when he was jailed. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the first chase where the police of the Anubis Universe are chasing Yulaw, the first car goes under the partly raised garage door and hits its lights on it. The siren dies and the light and siren get broken off. When the car drives on, however, the top is sparking but the lights and siren are intact. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Narrator: There is not one universe. There are many: A multiverse. We have the technology to travel between universes, but travel is highly restricted and policed. There is not one you. There are many. Each of us exists in present time, in parallel universes. There was balance in the system, but now a force exists who seeks to destroy the balance so he can become The One.

Excellent, 2 November 2001
10/10
Author: Samir Duran (dscronox@aol.com) from Los Angeles, California

This movie was great. I read reviews for it and walked into the theater not expecting much, but I walked out impressed. The fight scenes were awesome, the special effects were awesome and the story line was pretty good. I think the characters could have been a bit more explained though, but other than that, excellent.

A must see for any Jet Li fans. And if your not a Jet Li fan, see it anyway. On a scale of one to ten, this move is a fifteen.
