Tai Chi Master

I am a new Tai Chi student and I watched to observe the form. I watched the whole movie and then watched again in 1/8 of the speed to see the moves clearly. It was entertaining and informative but I could do without the string and the hollywood gratuitous violence in the movie.

Although this is a stunning film with great stunts (seeing the wires once in a while doesn't really spoil anything), I have to admit that I was fairly annoyed with the american-voice dubbing.
It makes the characters sound stupid (no offence meant) and out of place. I guess they needed to dub the film for illiterate people but a choice would have been nice. And why call it Twin Warriors? it is misleading and incorrect. I'd rather have the cantonese version without subtitles (although I couldn't understand it) than this pitiful american dubbing version. Look for The Tai Chi Master rather; as it has been said before, it is well worth it.

Jet Li and Michelle Yeow explode in this fantastic screenplay about good and evil, Shaolin, Kung-fu, love, honor, betrayal, and, most of all, Tai Chi Chuan! If you like the classic Kung Fu movies, or even enjoy the newer Hollywood versions, you must see this movie. For those less interested in martial arts, there is MUCH MORE to this movie than fighting.

The Hong Kong releases of this movie are under the title "The Tai-Chi Master" and are universally better than this release. This was a wonderful movie before it was shrunk and dubbed. Disney seems doing this to all of the Hong Kong movies it can buy. Not only are they presented in a shortened version, they are not so much translated as rewritten. While I love these movies they just can't survive being dumbed down. It takes them from the sublimely ridiculous to the annoyingly stupid. Avoid any and all of these releases. The originals are well worth the trouble of digging up.

Featuring a cast of awesome wushu practitioners, this is a gem in the Jet Li line-up. And the Tai Chi-esque performance done at the end makes this a fun lineup.
