About this movie

For the first time ever, screen legends Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan face off against each other in this epic fantasy- adventure! In order to save his homeland from certain doom, a kung fu master (Chan) must escape from the maniacal James Hook (Schwarzenegger) in order to send his daughter a secret talisman that will allow her to control a massive and mythical dragon. This larger-than-life, globe-trotting tale - ranging from the impenetrable Tower of London to the fabled Silk Road and China's Great Wall - also stars Rutger Hauer in one of the screen icon's final performances.

Ratings and reviews

Great visuals but a confusing and disjointed story full of poor dialogue badly dubbed and not worth spending two hours of one's life upon. Sad as Jackie Chan and Arnold usually bring a lot to a story... but not this time. It is probably the worst Arnold or Jackie film I have ever seen. The colors and striking cinematography and special effects are its only redeeming features.

Never reviewed a movie before. However, this was a terrible waste in the history of movies. I am a huge fan of both Chan and Schwarzenegger. And for that reason I bought it. The trailer was better than the whole movie. Kept waiting for it to get better. A few funny parts, but terrible acting, and even worse voice-overs. It reminded me of a polor bear and a squirrel fighting over a nut. Funny... but not good enough to watch an hour. ...unless the nut fought back?

As a fan of historical novels, this did not do justice to the actual Man in the Iron Mask. This is multiple stories mixed together. Just a vehicle film with roles that pump up aged and fading action actors. The younger cast were great. The tie in to the Three Storms was cute but most viewers have little knowledge of that legend outside this spoof. Google rewards paid for it.
