Abandoned by his parents and left in the care of the monks of a Buddhist temple, young Fang Shijie (Jay Chou) grows into a slacker kung fu master with a wicked jump shot. A small time agent sees Fang as his meal ticket and soon gets him a tryout for the local team. Director Yen-ping Chu has a strong visual style that keeps the movie moving even when the story starts to become a bit too predictable. And Chou, best known in America for playing Kato in the Seth Rogen remake of The Green Hornet, looks fantastic doing the stunts. Cool as he looks flying through the air, it’s his winning personality and charm that steal the show.
