Jade Warrior - 玉武士



Jade Warrior (玉武士) is a 2006 film co-produced by Finnish and Chinese companies. The star of the film for me is played by Zhang Jingchu.

A half Finnish and Chinese warrior, Sintai, is on a quest to destroy the demon of the China. On his way toward the demon, he meets Pin Yu. Pin Yu is beautiful and has some mad skillz. Sintai is instantly taken back by Pin Yu. But their love is not to be.

That synopsis is about the story based in ancient China. The other 75% of the film is based in modern day Finland and the reincarnated Sintai and Pin Yu.

The only reason I watched was because of Zhang Jingchu. Pretty good reason as Zhang is amazingly beautiful in the film. The martial arts scenes are pretty impressive. But the film itself as a whole isn't and I actually fell asleep while watching this.

At the time of this writing, the movie has not made its release in the US. I watch a crappy version rented from a local Chinese video store.
