Bulletproof Monk (2003)

It’s surprising that a Chow Yun-Fat movie did so terribly but maybe that’s because he was paired up with Seann William Scott? The movie did poorly in the box office and fans of the original comic book stayed away too, opting to not help out the awful rendition. It’s said that the movie was awful because it chose to incorporate a lot of humor into the film that didn’t exist in the original comic book. They played to Scott’s strength here, but even that isn’t even that strong. In the film Chow Yun-Fat enlists Scott’s help to protect a really old scroll. The epic storyline from the comic book just doesn’t translate and viewers are left bored. This is a case where it’s a good thing most people don’t know this movie is based on a comic book.
