Watch Myth for Jackie Chan

Vipin Vijayan | December 09, 2005 15:48 IST


Jackie Chan -- the name that redefined martial arts after the death of Bruce Lee -- dishes out another good performance in his latest film, The Myth.

The 51-year old plays an archaeologist called Jack who, in his dreams, often sees himself as General Meng-yi of the Qin Dynasty, entrusted with guarding the Emperor and his queen. The film deals with the concept of past lives and the desire of science to unravel mysteries of the ancient Chinese civilisation. It also portrays feelings of intense love, sacrifice and valour.



The script moves along well as director Stanley Tong (who also directed the popular TV series Martial Law) navigates the sequences from Jack's dreams to the real world.

The Myth has elements of typical martial arts-based cinema with the characters (excluding Mallika Sherawat, whom we shall discuss later) doing a lot of flying around. It also has a soothing background score. The climax has been beautifully picturised, loaded with special effects that, however, could have been better. For instance, in one of the shots, soldiers in the last row could be seen skating on the rugged terrain!

Chan, helping his friend in his research work into unravelling the mystery of defying gravity, finds himself in a temple of sorts. Though the movie does not name the location as an Indian city, a flying yogi and hundreds of followers look Indian. The locale used is a hilltop temple in Karnataka.

Jackie, Mallika promote Myth

Jack's friend plays spoilsport and scrapes out a black stone from the head of what can be termed a Chinese version of Nandi, the bull. It turns out the stone is the source of power that enables people to defy gravity. All hell breaks loose as the flying yogi comes crashing down to the ground. And then, the Jackie Chan show begins.

Now, Mallika Sherawat, as everyone knows, plays a princess. Her costumes would give costumes in the Kama Sutra a run for the money. Despite the story revolving mainly around General Meng-yi and Empress Ok-soo (Hee-seon Kim), Mallika seems to have done justice to her role. She's also done her own stunts -- like kicking baddies while wearing a ghagra choli! It is a different matter that the length of the ghagra gets shorter as the fight progresses.

The Myth may not be a blockbuster, but Jackie fans won't have anything to complain about.

Mallika's Myth to premiere in Toronto

Just seen this film. It was terrible. Crappy editing (especially when linking the past with present), and a very choppy storyline. The only best moment was the fight sequence in the glue factory, and the too brief romance in the past sequence. But overall a major let down after the equally awful New Police Story.

Sure. That's the sequence where Malika has 3-6 frames similar to Dimple's Saagar. :lol:

I liked the film. Extremely glossy.
DVD copy that I got, courtsey of a friend, is better than any Indian DVD or any Indian film DVD that I have ever seen. Perhaps, the same I can say for the scenery as well.

Malika is in a substantial role, not a minisicule one as reported in some news/ reviews.

Copy that I saw had Chinese as spoken language when in China and English when in India. Sub-T are avail though. I wonder if other audio, Hindi/ English, dub options will be available if they plan to show this film in India or in the West??

I watched this film finally on this imported dvd!!

DVD is no doubt STUNNING!!!PQ, and Audio DTS 1536MBPS!! Wow!!

Bit rate never drops below 7.

Now as far film..it is not the best of Jackie's film, but must watch for his fans!!

I wish they would have use Malika a bit more, used Hindi dialogues in Indian part and use ARR for music..as he would do perfect justice to both well required hindi parts! rather using hindi music in Warriors of heavens and Earth, where it looks out of place.

But still WOHAE had better background than MYTH imho!!

I'll submit some screen shots from orig dvd? if some one cares..and dvd beaver is not enough!

Side note: I had a lot of talk (and email) about this girl - Mallika Sherawat. Quite a few claim that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Although, as we know this is only skin deep, her brief appearances on the screen seem to swallow the camera whole. Yes, she is an uncommonly beautiful girl, but if this is your reason for buying the DVD - she only has a small part. Now let's move on.

What the hell! Jackie Chan's recent films are really for families. While there is violence, it is comical and not brutal. How can this be equivelent of rated R? Who has seen the film? How can there be sex or nudity in his films?

The poster looks like Hero, it looks like they marketed it like that.

I think Malika is usually not very good looking but she does look good in the screen grabs of the film. Probably the best she has ever looked. But most beautiful girl in the world, I don't think so.
