Why did it have to be such a direct copy then?
With the ability of production companies today, the sky is the limit, and a star as bright as Jet should make damn well sure that his movies are original, not flat out copies of big hits, like the Matrix. I hear Jet will now do a re-do of Lee's the Green Hornet, what a putz.

I totally agree. Anyone who knows anything about KUNG FU knows that "The Matrix" is the RIP OFF. I liked "The Matrix", but I also know WHO TRAINED KEANU AND LAURENCE how to fight for that movie. I have two word for the UNINFORMED: OLD SCHOOL.

Did you see the movie?
Alot of movies would be considered "direct copies" if you base it on certain "special effects". Even "Shrek" copied the "The Matrix" in an action scene. "Charlie's Angel's", you name it. I don't see "The One" as a copy AND if he wants to honor Bruce Lee and bring the story to today's big screen audience, what's wrong with that. Maybe it helps to know why instead of how.
A Jet Li fan is a Jet Li fan and he or she knows what Jet Li is about.

it's more like a mix of the t.v. show 'sliders' and 'highlander'...
but sorry, the matrix was a total rip-off but still very good due to the story line.
as for the special effects, i'd have to see the movie before making a comment due to it may be just in the trailer.
RE: Jet sux reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 4, 2001 1:41 PM

The Matrix specifically ripped off Jet Li! (have u seen Fist of Legend"?)
not to mention numerous others like Ghost in the Shell.
While the One is not an original idea, I think Jet is appealing to the young crowd to make himself better known. Better projects are on the way, and we will soon the better sides of Jet. In the meantime why don't some of u check out films like "My father is a hero", "Fong Sai Yuk" and "Once upon a time in china 2" to see his greatness!!!!

Too bad to, cause he would heve been "The" actor. A Bogart that only McQueen ever came close to becoming.
I don't see how the Matrix copied any movie, can you guys give the names of the flicks it copied, I'd love to see them. What these Shemps are speaking about I gather, is the scenes in "The One" when he dodges the bullets, which anyone with sight can see is a blatant copy. Was Jet Li the actor that played the cook in the beggining of "Warriors of Virtue"?
That guy was impressive and original.

tne matrix was not the first movie to use that type of digital camera work,,,
as far as i know buffalo 66 was...
matrix was the first to use the technique for action sequences.
i liked the matrix alot but the wire work was done along time before that and also in jet-li films
i really likes the effect of him picking up the motorcycle and slamming a guy with it all with one hand.
looks like good fun,,,

I must be missing something here! The One is about a guy traveling to through multi-universes, killing himselves to gain their life-power - Matrix is about life as a battery for a computer system controlling everything, and a prophesied 'One' comes to bread free - and Highlander is about immortals battling each other through the centuries till there is only 'One'. ?? I guess I never saw the resemble before now!

I think you all you morons should know that Matrix is actually the biggest rip-off of all time. Thats right, if it wasnt for all the awesome Chinatown movies and stars like Jet Li, matrix would look like another typical B grade Hollywood film. They set the standard and as usual America rip them off. Amercians are the ones who are cashing in and trying to use Jet Li to star in copies of the Matrix, its not him, its the producers. If you have seen his China town career you would know he's been making movies like this for years before the Matrix. I mean Keanu Reaves and all those other fag actors... gimmie a break.
RE: you have no life reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 26, 2001 3:57 AM
I don't understand what you mean by saying that the Matrix was only good because of Hong Kong movies. The Matrrix was a great movie in spite of having Keanu Reeves in the lead role.
RE: you have no life reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 26, 2001 7:30 AM
The matrix was a good movie but Hong Kong has been making movies like that for yonks... Its only cos racist putz's keep praising it like it was the first of its kind. Bigger budget yes, but nothing original or new compared to Chinatown or Japanese anime. Crouching tiger was a huge success only after the Matrix was so popular to western audiences, otherwise it might well be just another Kung Fu flick. To prove my point some big hollywood producers are re-releasing the Iron Monkey which was made in 1993. Why? Cos it was a good movie, with cool Kung-Fu but not everyone in the commercial world would give give it a chance back then. What I mean is that Asian influence is creeping in and people need to realise that America arent the creators, they are just cashing in. As for keanu Reeves, well, nothing agaisnt the guy but as a martial arts fan, he doesnt impress me, cos he had only practiced for 6 months and not all his life.... any genuine martial artist can see that even though it might convince most people. Thats why the producers have offered roles to Jet Li and Michelle Yoe in the sequels of Matrix, because they are genuine and that will take the movie to the next level it was missing in the first movie. jet Li turned it down because he would bring that genuine martial arts standard to the movie but he wont get paid what he asks and he wont be playing a lead role. I dont blame him... he deserves better than being insulted by ignorant, Hollywood producers.
RE: you have no life reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 26, 2001 6:48 PM
Exactly, The matrix was totally like americanized anime that was live action because they couldn't find any monkeys to draw that much. The only thing remotely new was the special effects, and all that has been seen so much before and after, It doesn't even make any diffrence any more.
And I totally agree that Jet really did the smart thing to do. If the general public is idle minded enough to think that the Matrix pioneered in ALL areas, then keep the whole cast american. It seems like that would be wiser for the sake of the non-enlightened.
On the Iron Monkey statement, It seems like an insult just to look at the commercial. I've seen the original movie, and It's great, but A lot of people thought that It was just another Croutching tiger rip-off. The reason why those two movies were such a bust was because the producers and the people that did bring those movies over to the states thought that the public would want to see a tale of beauty through culture. When croutching tiger came out, the producers wanted to keep those ties to hong kong, and the lauguages surrounding the area. But so many people whined because "they didn't want to come to read, they came to see a gymnastic 'Azz-kicking'." To me, that really soured the effect of Iron monkey, the movie going public just went with the assumption of the movie being just like Croutching tiger. That's the movie going public for you, they only want a diversion.

RE: Jet sux reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 27, 2001 9:39 PM
Get over it Redneck. not every movie that comes out has to be compared to Matrix. Infact Matrix was the biggest rip-off. If you want titles go to the foreign section of the video store and there are a few hundred japanese anime or Chinatown movies that were doing this sh*t for years on a lower budget. You are just like every other ignorant American who falls for all the propoganda crap that your country has been feeding yous since you were just a tiny little redneck.

I know. If she does good for her but whats the point? You'll just get people who just wont give them the credit they deserve. Thats why they should only play lead roles in American movies, then the audience can choose if they want to go see it! SO IF U DONT LIKE EM DONT WATCH EM! I notice a lot of people complain about Jet Li and how sh*t he is and that he is a paedophile etc... But thats ok cos they still go watch his movies and make him richer than losers that diss him. But you'll still get losers who will just say "Matrix is better." Get over it! Matrix is not the first or the only movie of its kind and its not the best, not by a long shot (go to the video store). Besides its such an old movie now and its really tiring listening to people go on an on and on about how its the best and the first and how every movie with special effects and Kung Fu is compared to it. I also agree with the shemps who think that Jet did the right thing by turning down the sequels. The mans got talent and he shouldnt have to waste it being a "co-star" for American producers and audiences. The truth is Jet Li is more popular worldwide than any of these stars in Hollywood. Thats right! If u think about it there are more people in Asia and all other countries and all of them love Jet Li. The Hollywood stars are only loved in America and a few other western nations. They are not recognised worldwide. Look at the websites and see how many there are for Jet Li, coming from asian and western countries and try and find that many sites for a western star. Some Americans have no idea.

What the f*ck are you bone heads talking about? I dont hear anyone complain when the matrix has been ripped off by hundreds of other American titles and American actors. If Jet is making a re-make of Green Hornet I CANT WAIT!!! i didnt hear anyone complain when Mark Walhberg did a remake of Planet of the Apes or many other re-makes and rip-offs that America seems to dish out at an outstanding rate. Jet Li is a martial artist and he will probably remake every good martial arts flick ever made cos only he has the skills and the status to remake Bruce Lee's films. Man you people only complain when there is an Asian doing something that poxy Americans do all the time. Maybe Keanu reaves should star in Green Hornet instead of Jet Li you PUTZ!!

Excuse me but Im an ignorant American and the reason I like Matrix is because the stars are American and because there are no subtitles and as u know most Americans cant read. Besides if we want to claim superiority in everything we can because we are AMERICAN and the rest of the world should be used to being ripped off by us. We've been doing it for years.

The Matrix is a better piece of entertainment than all the Hong Kong movies put together.

Man... you people are tossers. Why cant everyone just give their opinion and not be verbally abused? (Assumeing that your comments arent just ignorant piddle). I personally liked the Matrix but I wouldnt say that its the best and that its better than ALL Hong Kong movies, and Im an American! I think being able to understand the culture and the style of acting and screenplay is important. Most people like the Matrix as they should, it was a brilliant big budget flick. But I think people will only think its the best if they can only understand or appreciate that type of commercial cinema. No disrespect but all movies have something to offer. I personally like HK movies because they are undoubtedly the originals where the ideas first came from and the Martial arts in those movies cant be replicated on Hollywood screens. Matrix is an old movie and it is kinda useless still comparing other movies to it. I like them all... i dont care where its from but I like the originality and style of HK movies and the action is unbeatable, there are very few guns which make the action much more interesting. I cant wait for the sequels to Matrix. I just hope that they will be able to make the fight scenes a little bit more authentic by adding the asian influence. That coupled with the big budgets and technology of Hollywood would make exciting viewing. Even if the ONE was a flop I probably would still like it more than Matrix just cos its got Jet in it. If you can appreciate his style and skill then it doesnt even matter what the movie is about. Thats just my ignorant American opinion.

Lets settle this once and for all, The Matrix took sci-fi action to places it had never been before and now everyone else wants to jump on the bandwagon.
RE: Who needs a life when you've got heroine reply

Yeah, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon including Matrix 3 "Revolutions". Apparently the story is about Neo fighting 100 of himself. That sounds a bit like a Jet Li flick we all know. Dont ya think?

Right on, my sista. It's like, look at how much the matirx took from akira, the old chow-yun fat movies, and even the Worst of all the JET li movies, MELTDOWN. Now, I'm gettin ready to see some major croutching tiger, the one, and the older jet li movies in the next movie. I bet they might put in that mission impossible 2 move with the knife and the eye. Now THAT's pittiful!

Matrix didnt copy any movie? Are you sure? I guess not in the little cardboard box world that you live in. But fortunately for me, I was lucky enough to be born outside of America so I get to see a lot more than just the same old commercial crap. The producers of Matrix 2 and 3 must be spewing because Jet Li turned down the role. Now they cant hide behind him when the critics (namely us) accuse matrix 3 of being a direct rip off of "The One". As for Japanese anime, my favourites would be Akira, Ghost In the Shell and Return of the Overfiend series ;). Not to mention the Streetfighter 2 animated movies also. As for Jet, I think his best movies are his older ones like Tai Chi Master (Twin Warriors), Once upon a time in China series, Black Mask, Last Hero of China etc... but thats for people who understand this sh*t. Cant wait for Jet's newer movie, "A Tibetan Monk In New York". Hmmm, maybe he'll get to kick the sh*t out of some terrorists.
RE: Who needs a life when you've got heroine reply

If you really payed attention to Akira and Ghost in the shell, then that scene from the matrix where Neo is in the lab getting accupunture should be VERY familiar to you. And I Don't live in a cardboard box world. I'm just very suprised that you are calling me cardboarded and you think that the matrix is the best thing since sliced bread? What?
I mean, i love the matirx, but i think that they took the old Kung Fu theatre and put another spin on it. I wanna see if they assimilate any of the new stuff that's popped up around movies and put that in. Who knows, they might even make it a little better, but they still kinda took it.
As for Jet Li movies, I love black mask and tai chi master. Ever seen the older ones in Jet's 'Marble shoe era?'
You know, 'Kids from Shaolin', 'Swordsmen II', and the other ones in the laserdisc collection.
...And I don't EAT COMMERCIAL CRAP ;)

I wasnt talking to you sista. I was talking to the idiot who keeps saying Matrix is better at the end of all the educated comments on why it isnt the original and the best. I know all about Akira and Ghost in the shell and ALL Jet Li films. Akira was made long before Matrix and so were a lot of (copied) movies. Your right, lets wait and see what the Matrix 2 and 3 rips from our favourites so we can come back here and discuss it again ;)

The greatest contibution the "Matrix" made to film was...filming techniques that made actors who shouldn't be making action flicks(please read as keanu reeves) able to hide the fact that they can't preform their own stunts with out special effects...and i liked both movies by the way. they are what they are american action movies.
RE: Who needs a life when you've got heroine reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 21, 2001 3:27 PM
THANK YOU! I mean, i have no problem with american actors doing kung fu adaptations, but still. I thought rush hour's Chris Tucker doing subtle punches and kicks was much better than the brain washed kungfu that was pulled off in the matrix. Although Laurence Fishburg did pull that shiz off quite well...
=^-^=
RE: Who needs a life when you've got heroine reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 28, 2001 1:12 AM
Laurence Fishburne didnt do too bad... he looked more authentic in his martial arts than the main actor Reeves. Although I heard Fishburne is a major dickhead in real life. However, it still looked so boring and un-convincing. I havent seen The One yet but I saw the trailer and you can see Jet Li doing his hardcore Tai-chi power moves and that shiz cant be copied, acted or learnt in a few months. Thats why its gonna kick Matrix. Also I watched Matrix again and boy was the acting bad. It was a pretty dumb movie when u watch it for the 3rd or 4th time. I think the The One will be better, only becasue its going to have a better story and better action.
RE: Who needs a life when you've got heroine reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 28, 2001 11:58 AM
believe me, i went to see the one with friends every weekend for a month, and That was the shiz. Straight up with no chaser. The only thing that the matrix had going for it was it's cacky view of the world, that was the real meat of the matrix.A simpleton who has watched enough action movies can tell the diffrence between evil and good in the one. You'll love it.

I saw it tonight and I have to admit I was disappointed. The action was good but the acting was straight up sh*t-house. But then again I guess I dont watch action films for the acting.
I think the strongest point of the movie was the story or the idea, even though it was a little rough around the edges, it had good potential. I think that was the real meat of the movie. Some scenes didnt make sense like if he is fast enough to dodge bullets then how come he has a hard time trying to beat up Delroy Lindo?
Jet is a brilliant martial artist but his acting wasnt so good here, at least its better in Chinese films. I mean I dont think he even kissed his wife once in the entire film.
I also think the choreography needed work. The action scenes should have been sped up, not slowed down. A common flaw with western directors. Jet is capable of so much more and with the technology they had he should have been really flying around kicking the shiz out of everyone like he does in Once Upon a time in China series.
RE: Who needs a life when you've got heroine reply
Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on December 30, 2001 4:53 PM
I think the reason it was so rough around the edges was b/c the director wanted to make Jet presentable to the teenage american audience. I mean, i'm part of that audience, but i got a kick out of the irony such as he not able to beat up delroy lindo. It's that erie 'Shaft' Affect.
Look at the way he spoke in the movie, he sounded like he was trying to be a cross between jackie chan and clint eastwood. I didn't get the idea of that, but nobody else seemed to notice or care.
Also, I totally agree. The fight scenes should have been sped up for effect instead of slowed down, but whatdda know. It tried the circle of the matirx. Movie copies movie that copies the movie before it even comes out to make it appeal to more people.
As for the acting, I thought that TK was a bad casting desision, The vibe wasn't there. Remember in the defender (another one of the worst JL movies of all time, in my opinion) That the girl had good chemiestry with him, despite they never kissed, and barely even had sexual tentson. and that the acting was kinda okay, but again, I gave up on high quality action acting when i saw universial soldier for the first time. Every now and then i'll be suprised, like with a movie like 'romeo must die' or even 'exit wounds' but i never expect the acting to shine.
Now that i think about it, The one DOES make
'once upon a time in china' like the shiz to the 29th power.

Jet's Chinatown movies will always be the best. No American movie with its high tech special effects are ever going to get it right. The thing that makes Jet so beautiful to watch is his speed and his perfect form, there is not much room for technology when you think about it because all it does is slow him down and break his form. I think Kiss of the Dragon and Romeo Must Die was better than the One but its good to see Jet in more and more movies. I mean Jackie Chan has made so many movies and I can only think of a few that really stand out.
Slow motion action scenes might work for actors like Keanu Reeves etc, people who arent authentic martial artists, but doing it to Jet just puts them on the same level. Chinatown had the right idea by speeding things up and using natural effects to emphasise power and skill. Even on a bigger budget those are still the best tricks.
At least in this movie he used his world famous Tai chi style to kick ass just like he did in my favourite movie the Tai Chi master. Hopefully he will show the world just how talented he is in fighting and acting when his new Chinatown movie HERO comes out starring him and Zang Zi Yi. MMMMMMM

Oh lord, I cannot wait for hero, It's goonna be the old skool Shiz!
I loved Romeo must die (I'm a jet Li fan but i'm an Aaliyah fan too RIP Girlie) but i never saw kiss of the dragon.
And it is totally true about the whole form thing. Jet never needed technology because he was the actor for the hardcore kung Fu movies. Keanu reves really uses the technology to make the moves, and then puts his little scrawny self into the wires, what a putz. Also, when you think about it, there was no real form in the matrix. it was a melting pot for all types of american interception (if i spelled that right).
Tai Chi Master was the shiz and a half!
