With Forbidden Kingdom streams a fantasy adventure with two Absolute martial art legends at Prime. After the fun entertainment, it will be tough, because afterwards you can also see the action cracker Triple Threat, which provides us with Martial Arts duelle with FSK 18, also at Prime.
Forbidden Kingdom at Prime: Two celebrated action legends in the big fantasy adventure
Jason (Michael Angarano) is an absolute nerd in martial arts, sword and kung fu fight. When he is sent to an old China through a golden rod on a journey through time, he comes close to his hero, but the adventure develops differently than expected. Because Jason allies with the constantly drunk Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) and a quiet monk (Jet Li) to free the prisoner monkey king. The chaos is inevitable.
In the 1990s and 2000s, Chan and Li were an integral part of the international action cinema. While Chan caused fun entertainment, Li was more likely to be found in more serious revenge roles. It is probably no wonder that the two legends only came together in a film once.
The two provide for the two in Forbidden Kingdom stunning fight scenes, As it also confirms the reactions on rotten tomatoes. Some consider the film to be overloaded, but still feel well entertained.
Triple Threat at Prime: Knall-Harter Martial Arts-Action-Kracher
It is much more serious in the Action-Kracher Triple Thread. Here the billionaire daughter Xian (Celina Jade) is on a criminal clan. When gangster boss Collins picks up hunting, Xian is protected by three Martial arts fighters. But there are some unresolved conflicts between the three and so the personal problems of the mission threaten to get in the way.
With Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais and Tiger Hu Chen, Triple Thread has brought a top -class cast on board that delivers the finest fights. Above all, the reviews praised the performance of the martial artists. Even if you could have got more out of history, Action fans will get their money’s worth.
In the current year we can admire Jackie Chan again in the cinema. The now 70-year-old actor will be seen in Karate Kid: Legends and the trailer looks promising.
