Like other scrolls, the Scroll of the Ultimate has immense power. An ancient monk was explaining to a young acolyte: “Whoever reads it aloud in its entirely,” he added, “will gain the power to control the world.” The Nazis envisioned capturing Tibet in 1943 solely for the purpose of obtaining the scroll, which is utterly absurd. I remember watching Raiders of the Lost Ark and seeing how heavily focused on acquiring the Covenant Ark as leftovers from previous war crimes they were mostly known for. But think about it: Why? So that Leni Riefenstahl, Hitlers propaganda puppet, could film “The Scroll of The Ultimate vs The Ark of The Covenant”? I personally can’t stand this nonsense and wish to pitch something like this to the Writers’ Guild so that I can become rich off these ideas.

Chow Yun-Fat's character is The Monk With No Name, a monk who lost himself in order to protect a scroll. Relinquishing one's identity could only be called crazy—and in the way that Pulp Fiction is crazy. Each time he takes possession of the scroll, the sky goes bonkers and cyclonic with spectacular visuals. I mean, when has it not been breathtaking to watch high winds and eruptions simultaneously? All this while, the Nazis are directly invading the temple in an attempt to worship the scroll. The monk leaps from what can only be described as a literal high dive. He sucks in a bullet into the scroll and miraculously survives the jump. His answer to why: “Gravity is a concept only believers subscribe to.” Ease explanation for every question he asks himself: Why would anyone use their body as defiance?
Bulletproof Monk (2003) - Review - Far East Films

 

A monk believed so fervently in his cause that it resulted in losing the Scroll altogether. His journey began at strange structures populated by unusual folks neatly arranged like New York City where they began wandering around instead of exploring above ground.
 
Once in a while, he met Kar, the young delinquent who for some reason had an amazing ability to spirit away unique items. Unbeknownst to the people around, there was a secret gift buried under that seemed like nothing. In this case, a scroll that went right from purse of the monk. The moment he laid his eyes on it he found himself in a dark and tired corner filled with children bullies just as scary as the bar crowd. He wasn’t alone either since there was a whole group determined to deal with one single boy.
 
Mr Funktastic possessed all those traits and more: worn out charming clothes, grumpy attitude and angrier looking woman, and lastly our hero himself with ‘cool’ tattoos claiming his edge over society. It was flashy but not fancy enough for normal people or even loosely close to idealistic child dreams. The boredom obvious forced everyone else but him to join in struggle of sheer chaos.
 
After lots of excessive pointless fighting most assumed childish attempts at winning quarrels – they instead decided violence stopped being worthy of their already hurt status telling summer break screaming matches approach work evening karaoke open air concert. Somehow or rather Mr Funktastic aimed single outrage wondering Kar fly faster without control through regions he'd try terrible things we should crave thus "nameless anonymity."
 
While Mr. Funktastic and his men mostly focused on the battle, they completely missed the monk that witnessed it all undetected. This allowed The Monk With No Name to make friends with Kar. Kar is convinced he fulfills Three Prophecies assigned to a character who must safeguard a Scroll for sixty years. As much as we would love to agree with Kar, he is still brash and young, which means he has plenty of life experiences waiting for him. On yet another note, The Monk With No Name's number one hater - the Nazis - tries capturing him again but this time go too far by strapping him crucifix-style onto a torture device that resembles a screw with arms near his head.  
 
“Bulletproof Monk” combines classic kung fu films from Hong Kong with American styles supporting the ludicrous idea that ancient practitioners spent their time training Americans. It’s true that for some time now, self-studying has been something Kar does often. “Where do you study fighting?” questions The Monk. “The Golden Palace,” comes the answer which is in fact the name of an abandoned cinema where he works as a projectionist and emulates fight sequences from older kung fu movies

While “Bulletproof Monk” isn’t the most captivating or adrenaline-pumping film out there, it does have some interesting scenes (such as the opening duel on the rope bridge). Like "The Matrix," this movie also tries to demonstrate that with enough skill, a fighter could jump up into the air and spin multiple times. It’s called disorientation for a reason – no one knows what’s going on, least of all Scott and Yun-Fat who are doing their best to act in a shoehorned romance plot buttressed by Bad Girl Nina, one of history’s most forgettable villains. Smurfit portrays her as a hand-to-hand combat loving third generation Nazi.
 
Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris wrote Bulletproof Monk after adapting it from a comic book by Brett Lewis and RA Jones; it is meant to reach roughly the same audience as its source material. Compared to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which was geared towards an older reading demographic, this movie is like a novel for younger readers – far less sophisticated, but at least easier to digest.
