Tsui Hark directs this critically panned kung fu action spectacular starring Jet Li as Jet, a martial arts master who ventures to San Francisco to find his old teacher Uncle Tak. When he gets there, he discovers that Tak's herbal shop has been trashed and the old man is missing. The reason, he soon learns, is Johnny Chan (Yuen Wah), the hotheaded leader of a kung fu school looking to best every master around. When Jet finally tracks Tak down, he soon finds himself targeted by Johnny and his thugs. Though shot in 1989, the film was not released until 1992 when Jet Li following the success of Once Upon a Time in China became a major star. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

Jet Li - Jet

Action master Tsui Hark directs international action superstar Jet Li in The Master, which comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. English subtitles are accessible. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This Disney/Buena Vista release offers superb sound and picture quality, but little else. Genre enthusiasts should enjoy this title. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
