9/10
Fun Jet Li Kung Fu Flick
31 December 2007
Rated R for Violence and Some Language

I saw parts of the dubbed version of this film a few years ago on showcase action but I just saw the full subtitled version on the OMNI channel in Canada.The film stars Jet Li before he was famous in North America.Its an interesting film, very funny at times, good mix of drama and an interesting storyline.The film is about five kids who train at the shaolin temple who have a treasure map tattoed on their backs.The government wants the kids and they must go hiding before they are found.Jet Li and his son are poor and roam around.They find work as a bodyguard for a man who has been suckered by a young woman and her mother who plays dead.Jet Li tries to protect the master from this girl who is trying to steal his valuables.Meanwhile there is a man who was thought to have been killed out for revenge.He now looks like a monster and is more powerful than he was before.The Legend Of The Red Dragon is a funny martial arts film that is recommended to Jet Li fans or fans of martial arts/comedies in general.
