| He has no name. He protects a powerful secret.
Now, to fulfil an ancient prophecy, he has found the one who's supposed to take his place - and it's the most unlikely candidate of all.
In this non-stop action adventure, the Monk (Chow Yun-Fat - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) is a Zen-calm martial arts master whose duty has been to protect a powerful ancient scroll that holds the key to unlimited power.
Now, faced with finding the scroll's next guardian, the Monk's quest brings him to America. It seems according to an ancient prophecy and to his disbelief - the Monk's successor is a charming, street-tough wild card named Kar (Seann William Scott - American Pie, Road Trip).
As the Monk instructs Kar in the ways of a protector, the unlikely duo become partners in shielding the scroll from the evil power-hungry armies who try to steal it. Amidst high-flying acrobatics, martial arts action and quick-witted humor, this comic odd couple have to work together to keep the scroll safe.

Whatever you do, don't mess with the monk - you won't have a prayer!

For 60 years, a nameless Tibetan monk has been travelling the world trying to protect a scroll which grants its bearer unlimited power.
When saved by the normally selfish Kar (Scott) on the streets of San Francisco, the monk (Yun-Fat) reckons the man could be the next scrollkeeper - and sets himself up as his mentor. Unfortunately, news of the scroll's whereabouts reaches evil kung fu master Strucker (Roden), who'll stop at nothing to get the scroll from the monk.
A riotous frenzy of martial arts excess, daring stunts and explosive special effects, Bulletproof Monk captures all the magic and action of classic kung fu movies, but with a contemporary edge that'll more than satisfy fans of The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded.
