The Movie
 

After Jet Li and his young son rescue four young monks while on the run from evil Manchu agents, they discover they are being trailed by a corrupt ex Shaolin monk, who follows them in his sinister customised armoured car.

Jet discovers the young boys have survived a horrific massacre at the Shaolin Temple, and that he must ferry them to the safety of the Niu village, where they can reveal the location of the buried Manchu treasure.

Why?  Because the location of the treasure is tattooed on their backs!

My Thoughts Movie Ratings

A good example of wire-fu - kung fu with the use of wires.  The storyline is a bit different, but the action more than makes up for it.
