Plot: A monk and a pickpocket become unlikely allies in this action adventure story. Sixty years ago, a nameless monk (Chow Yun-Fat) was appointed the guardian of a mysterious scroll that grants remarkable powers to those who possess it. After six decades of traveling the world to protect the scroll, the monk must find someone new to assume the responsibility, but as fate would have it, the new caretaker turns out to be Kar (Seann William Scott), a scruffy and distinctly non-enlightened petty thief living in San Francisco. As the monk attempts to educate Kar in the powers and responsibilities of the scroll and the ways of a monk's life, they discover they have a rival for the possession of the valuable scroll. As Kar and the monk fend off their mysterious adversary, they are aided by Bad Girl (Jaime King), a beautiful Russian mob affiliate with amazing martial arts skills and a vested interest in keeping the scroll in virtuous hands. Bulletproof Monk was based a comic book series published in 1999; Chow Yun-Fat's frequent collaborators John Woo and Terence Chang produced. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I loved the movie to begin with, but on blu-ray it just made it that much better. Great action movie with just the right amount of humor.

Monk With No Name (Chow Yun-Fat, of Pirates of the Caribbean fame) for 60 years he is being perused by a member (Karel Roden) of the NSPD (National Socialist German Workers' Party.) In his escape, he runs into a potential replacement or two. Lots of made for TV type pseudo-martial arts, Skillful females as well, the monk gets a body part bit by the bad guy (you can say he was chewing the fat.)

There is lots of action from gravity defying twists to overkill helicopters. Therefore, you can see that money has been thrown at this film. Too bad, it is so mediocre. However, for people that keep up with cultural literacy this film is a must for people that read the comic book.

I only watched the Blu-ray version so I cannot compare to other versions.

Humor and art

The movie is an excellent extension of the many martial arts movies without the action dominating the script Chow Yun Fat and Seann William Scott provide an entertaining mix of drama and humor. Highly reommended.
