Amazon.co.uk Review

The tremendous charisma of Chow Yun-Fat anchors this entertaining comic-book romp. Bulletproof Monk centres 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) 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 humour, good for a mindless evening's entertainment. --Bret Fetzer


DVD Description

He has no name. He protects a powerful secret. Now, to fulfil an ancient prophecy, he has found the one who’s supposed to take his place – and it’s the most unlikely candidate of all.

In this non-stop action adventure, the Monk (Chow Yun-Fat) is a Zen-calm martial arts master whose duty has been to protect a powerful ancient scroll that holds the key to unlimited power. Now, faced with finding the scroll’s next guardian, the Monk’s quest brings him to America. It seems according to an ancient prophecy – and to his disbelief – the Monk’s successor is a charming, street-tough wild card named Kar (Seann William Scott). As the Monk instructs Kar in the ways of a protector, the unlikely duo become partners in shielding the scroll from the evil power-hungry armies who try to take it. Amidst a flurry of high-flying acrobatics, martial arts action and quick-witted humour, this comic odd couple have to work together to keep the scroll safe.

4.0 out of 5 stars sean william scott is gr8!, 3 Nov 2003
By A Customer
i bought this dvd as a gift for my son, having not seen it before i did not know what to expect when he put it on! but i sat and watched it with him and he thoroughy enjoyed it and so did I, and to be honest im one of the sad people that when i find a film i like, i watch a couple of times over and usually see bits of the film i had previously missed! it is a very good film and the extras on how they made the film has helped me understand other films as well as this film!

2.0 out of 5 stars Monkum Bunkum, 15 Aug 2006
By Ichabod J (Farleigh Wallop, Hampshire) - See all my reviews
  
The zany title and the presence of Seann William Scott (he of the mysterious extra 'n') in the cast should alert discriminating viewers to the fact this is not one of those beautifully shot and choreographed arthouse martial arts films.
Instead, it's a sort of 'Karate Kid' rehash, with a magical scroll and daft spiritual bits added to the story.
Chow Yun-Fat justifiably looks bemused throughout - one can only hope he was amply rewarded for participating in this effort.
Likely to be enjoyed only by children, younger teenagers and those martial arts afficionados that have taken one side-kick to the head too many.

4.0 out of 5 stars I get the feeling he has potential..., 15 Nov 2003
By S. Walker "starwarsdave" (Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
If hotdogs come in packs of eight, then why do hotdog buns come in packs of ten?

The path to enlightenment to not easy, and I personally have settled for mild stupidity. But for something to be worthwhile then it is never easy, unlike watching this. Starring Crouching Tiger's Chow Yun Fat (yes I know he's done more films than that) and American Pie's Seann William Scott, Bulletproof Monk has been described as "Matrix light" but I would have said it doesn't take itself quite so seriously. And I prefer the lovely Jamie King to Carrie Ann Moss (sorry love). Very feisty.

The standard Kung Fu-ish fight affair, with some good characters and a few laughs.
