THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM FACTS


Jason Williams' (Michael Angarano) obsession with kung fu movies leads him to an antique store, where he finds an ancient Chinese staff. When he grabs hold of the stick, he is transported back in time, where he meets the drunken martial-arts master Lu Yan (Jackie Chan), the Silent Monk (Jet Li) and the beautiful Golden Sparrow (Crystal Liu Yi Fei), who all help Jason return the staff to its rightful owner, the Monkey King, who has been imprisoned by the nefarious Jade Warlord (Collin Chou).

Factoid:
This movie is going to rock with Jackie Chan and Jet li in the same movie for the first time. I wonder who is going to get more screen time in the film.
