The tremendous charisma of Chow Yun-fat anchors this entertaining comic-book romp. Bulletproof Monk centers around a monk with no name (Chow) dedicated to protecting a sacred scroll that can give world-manipulating power to anyone who reads it. A hidden Nazi has been pursuing the scroll for 60 years and has finally caught up with the monk in present-day New York City; meanwhile, the monk suspects he may have found a disciple in a petty thief (Seann William Scott, Dude, Where's My Car?, American Pie) who's learned kung fu from watching double-feature chopsocky flicks. Don't let the presence of Chow Yun-fat lead you to expect much substance--this doesn't have the emotional scope of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon or the visual panache of Hard-Boiled. But Bulletproof Monk is a cheerful, tightly edited, unpretentious action flick with flashes of humor, good for a mindless evening's entertainment. Also featuring Jaime (a.k.a. James) King (Blow). --Bret Fetzer
Description
Chow Yun-Fat (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Seann William Scott (the American Pie films) star in this heart-pumping action-adventure that bristles with "acrobatic battles [and] solid visual effects" (The Hollywood Reporter)! For 60 years, a mysterious monk has protected an ancient scroll that holds the key to unlimited power. But when a streetwise punk named Kar saves him from capture, the monk thinks he's found a replacement protector for the scroll. Now Kar, under the tutelage of the monk, must unleash his potential as one gravity-defying, sword-wielding,butt-kicking warrior to save the world from the scroll's most avid pursuer.

 funny/action packed January 31, 2010
Richard A. Miller
I loved the movie to begin with, but on blu-ray it just made it that much better. Great action movie with just the right amount of humor.
Spoofy hidden dragon wan-a-be January 3, 2010
bernie (Arlington, Texas)
Monk With No Name (Chow Yun-Fat, of Pirates of the Caribbean fame) for 60 years he is being perused by a member (Karel Roden) of the NSPD (National Socialist German Workers' Party.) In his escape, he runs into a potential replacement or two. Lots of made for TV type pseudo-martial arts, Skillful females as well, the monk gets a body part bit by the bad guy (you can say he was chewing the fat.)
There is lots of action from gravity defying twists to overkill helicopters. Therefore, you can see that money has been thrown at this film. Too bad, it is so mediocre. However, for people that keep up with cultural literacy this film is a must for people that read the comic book.
I only watched the Blu-ray version so I cannot compare to other versions.

Bulletproof Monk is jampacked with martial arts sequences that will please viewers of all ages who want to watch a fun, hilarious film! I seriously loved it!

S. Velasquez (Kiss, Fl USA)
WOW what a crappy movie! Stifler should know better. nothing redeeming about this moive. Im so glad a freind lent it to me!
Humor and art September 14, 2009
William Mann (Hillsboro, New Hampshire United States)
The movie is an excellent extension of the many martial arts movies without the action dominating the script Chow Yun Fat and Seann William Scott provide an entertaining mix of drama and humor. Highly reommended.
