Pre-Marathon Progress Report #3

Six more DVDs arrived today - including A Grand Collection of The Shaolin Temple (The Shaolin Temple and Kids From Shaolin in a fancy slipcase). Awesomeness.

Things are shaping up nicely.

Now less than 9 weeks until start time...

Pre-Marathon Progress Report #2

My VCD of the original Hong Kong version of Fist of Legend arrived today.

Today is a very good day!

Pre-Marathon Progress Report #1

As a warm-up to this great event, I watched Hitman tonight. Such a great movie; I enjoy the comedy elements of Honk Kong action films such as this.

Made some more orders with my pay this week and toying with picking up a blu-ray player with multi-region capabilities, as it would mean blu-ray copies of The Master, Dr Wai and The Warlords. The Warlords is awesome and I think it would be worthwhile to have the full uncut version in glorious HD (as opposed to heavily edited UK DVD I currently own). Dr Wai and The Master aren't as important, but they would no doubt look better than any DVD version available.

Still holding out hope I can find a Mei-Ah anamorphic release of Shaolin Temple. If anyone is able to help a brother out and point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Temple of Jet Li

The mission of this website is to chronicle the adventures of Jet Li as he battles humans across Earth. Sometimes they are bad, sometimes they are good. Sometimes they are different versions of himself. But it is always exciting.

My goal is watch each Jet Li film in chronological order, one per week beginning April 26 2015 (Jet Li's 52nd birthday), then do a bit of a write up here. However, since there is not quite 52 films I will also include documentaries and the video game, Rise to Honour. So 52 Jet Li works over 52 weeks to celebrate his 52nd birthday.

For the films, I plan on sourcing the most complete versions possible, so hopefully this site can act as a resource not just for reviews, but also anyone looking to get the best DVD or blu-ray of a particular film from the extensive Jet Li catalogue.

Welcome!
