Oh boy, it just doesn’t get any bigger than Jackie Chan and Jet Li going head-to-head in the battle of historical epics. The Myth (to bastardise current football punditry) is most definitely a film of two halves.


Dr Jack Chan (I kid you not) is a famed archæologist/tomb-raider who’s plagued by dreams of an ancient Chinese general’s love for an unobtainable concubine, Ok Soo (played by Korean goddess, Hee-seon Kim). Is he the reincarnation of General Meng Yi, his destiny to find and be reunited with his equally deathless princess?
