Special effects-laden martial arts action comedy starring Chow Yun-Fat as a mysterious, nameless monk who, sixty years earlier, was appointed the guardian of an ancient scroll that grants unlimited power to its possessor. After travelling across the world for more than half a century to protect the scroll, the monk is looking for someone new to take on the responsibility, and he is convinced that Kar (Seann William Scott), a self-absorbed street kid from San Francisco, is the man he's looking for. But as the monk begins to train Kar in the roles and responsibilities of being the new scrollkeeper, the pair find out they have a rival, who just happens to be a kung fu master - can they ever defeat him?

Most helpful review Bulletproof Monk

I want my hour and a half back.

By MaxWeight from London , 05 Feb 2004

[Highly rated reviewer]

I love martial arts films.

I love comic books and their screen adaptations.

I love Chow Yun Fat.

I hated Bulletproof Monk.

I did everything right. I suspended disbelief, ignored all my friends, got a couple of beers and picked a night when I had nothing else to do.

It has dreadful fights, poor dialogue, a tedious plot and utterly wastes the most charismatic man to emerge from Asian cinema since Jackie Chan.

I hope they don't ever make a sequel. That would suck a**.

Two words for this!!! Pure Class!!

By tellytubby (40 reviews) from Ballymoney , 05 Apr 2011

For those who were expecting a master piece then no it ain't, the script is a little predictable the acting isn't going to win any oscars but despite all that, you know what? I don't care.

To me it's an hour and 40 mins of pure fun and true class. Just switch on, sit back and enjoy. Don't expect anything and this film will entertain. Love it for what it is, Pure Entertainment!!

For those who feel they have been robbed, then you were looking at a different film to me. If you were expecting Shakespeare or a John Grisham thriller, then you are looking the wrong shelf my friend.

A lot of fun

By MickeyMouse3000 (299 reviews) from Dorset, England , 04 Oct 2009

Seen this twice now and enjoyed it thoroughly both times. It's good fun no-brainer entertainment. It doesn't boast the best martial arts you'll ever see or anything particularly unique, but what it does it does well and is a really enjoyable film with cool action and a great cast. And I love 'Mr Funktastic' - hilarious! What a plonker. Definitely worth checking out.
