SYNOPSIS:
Jack (Chan) is an intrepid archeologist in search of a mythical gemstone that is said to have the power to defy gravity. Though Jack's days are spent traversing the globe with scientist sidekick William (Tony Leung Ka-fai) in hopes of finding the elusive gem, at night in his dreams he assumes the role of General Meng-yi, devoted servant of Emperor Qin Shi-huang. As Jack and William venture to the mystical Heavenly Palace -- a wondrous fortress rumored to have been built by Qin Shi-huang himself -- Jack's vivid nocturnal journeys find him falling head-over-heels for the emperor's comely Korean consort Ok-soo (Kim Hee-seon).

REVIEW:
" The latest collaboration between Jackie Chan and writer/director/choreographer Stanley Tong is the typical chop-socky vehicle with a couple of exceptions: Chan doesn't have many chances to murder the English language (his lines are, mostly, Cantonese), and the story blends in aspects of a historical epic, complete with tons of extras, fancy costumes, remote locations, and a sweeping love story. I could have done without the epic part, since that only made the film longer, and the scenes between the jaw-dropping punching and kicking even further apart.
Chan plays Jack, an archaeologist who wrote an article about the myth of a ancient ruler's casket that defies gravity by floating a few dozen feet in the air. Jack's pal is a scientist whose next project is to conquer gravity. They decide to crash the aforementioned tomb, setting off a chain of wacky events which happen to coincide with one of Jack's dreams about protecting a princess (Kim Hee-seon).
The princess gets to do all kinds of unusual stuff, like sewing up one of Jack's wounds with her own hair, and eating snow and then spitting it into his mouth (is there where the term "snowballing" comes from?), and Chan, as always, will knock your socks off with his fight scenes. The highlight took place on a conveyor belt in a factory that produced those sticky strips you put on the floor to catch mice. One word: Amazing. "
