The Forbidden Kingdom Blu ray 2008

East meets West and kung fu legends collide as Jackie Chan and Jet Li square off in the fists a flying, family friendly FORBIDDEN KINGDOM. Based on the classical Chinese novel JOURNEY TO THE WEST, the film begins in modern day Boston. There, while teenage kung fu flick enthusiast Jason Michael Angarano is buying bootleg DVDs from his favourite shopkeeper, Old Hop Chan, aged by prosthetic makeup, he is drawn to an ancient golden staff. When a local bully forces weakling Jason to help rob Old Hop, Jason escapes with the staff and is magically transported to ancient China. He is soon rescued from the forces of the Jade Warlord by Lu Yan Chan, a raggedy wanderer whose wine guzzling ways conceal his kung fu mastery. Yan reveals the truth of the staff, and that Jason is the fabled Seeker who must return it to the Monkey King Li to prevent the warlord's evil plans. The two are joined in their quest by a kung fu master, Silent Monk Li, and a beautiful orphan Liu Yifei who harbours her own personal vendetta. Despite their differences, the two masters teach Jason the ways of the kung fu warrior. And when Lu Yan is gravely wounded by the warlord's sexy assassin, Jason must bring his newfound skills and courage to bear if he is to save one world and return to his own.
