Have you watched The Forbidden Kingdom?
Favourite characters?

South Boston teenager Jason Tripitikas is a fan of martial arts films and awakens from a dream of a battle between Sun Wukong and celestial soldiers in the clouds. He visits a pawn shop in Chinatown to buy wuxia DVDs and discovers a golden staff. On his way home, Tripitikas is harassed by some hooligans, whose leader Lupo attempts to use him to help them rob the shop-owner Hop, who is shot by Lupo. Hop tells Tripitikas to deliver the staff to its rightful owner and Tripitikas flees with the staff. He is cornered on the rooftop before being pulled off the roof by the staff.

Sure. Got to see it in the theatre, actually. It was alright.

As a kung-fu movie enthusiast, I tend to prefer much stupider movies with more fighting, like 'Who Am I?' and 'The Protector', and 'Bloodsport'. I mean, don't mistake me, I like the more artsy flicks, too, with acting and special effects and all, but they'll never be first choice.
