Got Tai Chi Master? It's my favourite Jet Li movie, an old school period piece directed by Yuen Woo Ping!

Not gonna look at reviews so as not to be spoiled but are we talking comedy, serious or what?

It's mostly like a family film with little spots of violence that make it unsuitable for the under 10 crowd, it's loosely based on a Chinese legend, with lots of Western-friendly references...like most of Jackie's films, lightweight story supported by excellent fight scenes and a good sense of humour. Peeps looking for blood will be disappointed- this is popcorn time, and I've seen it six time since I bought it.
It's (somewhat) similar in tone to Drunken Master 2, but way more fantasy-based.

Cheers matey.
Blood can be good, but it don't make a great film. Sometimes you gotta go the way of the lesser violence.
Sounds like I'm gonna get me this one.

Have a great Xmas/Yule or whatever.
