'Bulletproof Monk' begins in the 1940s, as a Tibetan Buddhist monk, charged with protecting an ancient scroll, passes on his legacy to his pupil. As the student receives the power to safeguard the scroll, his aging process is halted and he gives up his name, only to be known as the Monk (Chow Yun-Fat). Suddenly, the monastery is raided by Nazis, led by the ruthless Strucker (Karl Roden). As they attempt to seize the relic, the Monk is shot and falls off a cliff, taking the scroll with him...
However, six decades later, the Monk appears in America and crosses paths with Kar (Seann William Scott), a tough city kid with a talent for picking pockets. Together the unlikely duo must contend with the forces of the now-elderly Strucker, still determined to possess the mystical scroll. As Strucker's granddaughter, Nina (Victoria Smurfit), leads his thugs to track down Kar and the Monk, the two heroes receive help from the mysterious Jade (Jamie King)...

One Of The Worst Films Ever Made

I enjoy martial arts films of all ages, from Bruce Lee classics like 'Enter The Dragon' to Jet Li greats like 'Unforgiven' but i strongly recommend you spend your money on another type of cheese as this film is just laughably bad. As if the title isn't bad enough, the acting is of a record low standard and the story is just plain boring.

Chow Yun Fat (who plays the monk with no name in the movie) has never (i personally think) made a better movie. It has cool Gung-ho action with plenty of fantasy Martial arts in it. Chow Yun Fat plays his role perfectly and the movie is very good from beggining to end. His cool perseption of his role mixed with Seann Williams's 'dirty' and street-like attitude makes a fantastic coupling. There are many thrilling scenes in the film with plenty of gun fights and mystical bouts. This film does deserve 5 stars however there are moments of dissapointing special affects, however the acting is second-to-none.
