Goofs:
Continuity: Before Jason, Lu Yan, Golden Sparrow and the Silent Monk enter the desert, they were riding horses. As they enter the desert they are suddenly on foot. When Lu Yan wants to make water with magic and the Silent Monk starts urinating on his head from a rock, the Silent Monk tells them there is a body of water and as they run towards the sight they see at the foot of the dark clouded Five Element Mountain. A moment later we see Jason getting trained in a bamboo forest by the Silent Monk and Lu Yan. After those shots Jason walks up to Golden Sparrow playing a snared instrument between blossom trees and he forgets to kiss the fabulous lips of Golden Sparrow. Then suddenly the White Haired Witch comes running over the pink blossomed trees and after a fight with her and her ever oncoming hordes of soldiers, our heroes decide to flee, jump on the suddenly reappeared ready horses and gallop off. more

A Nice Martial Arts Fantasy Story, 18 April 2008
8/10
Author: tabuno from utah

Jackie Chan returns in a Drunken Master (1978) role along with Jet Li in a more mysterious but delightful twisting role in this fantasy martial arts film that requires a leap of faith into myths, legends, and magic. In doing so, this adventure tale is compelling from the very beginning with a quick, fast martial art scene followed by some amazing opening credits. The martial art fights are prolonged and exciting and the storyline is although predictable, entertaining and worthy of an evening storytale. Not a classic, nor epic, not heavy, and never managing to enter into serious realm of award-winning, this movie is nevertheless a summer, adolescent family movie that is worth its admission price and both Jackie Chan and Jet Li offer up some good performances in a movie without any real failings. Eight out of Ten Stars.
