Tai Chi Master

Hong Kong star Jet Li portrays the inventor of T'ai Chi in this entertaining if not historically accurate martial-arts movie. Lifelong friends Junbao (Li) and Tienbao (Chin Siu-Ho) are expelled from their Shaolin temple after being accused of cheating. Tienbao becomes a powerful and oppressive military leader while Junbao joins a rebel group led by Qiuxue (Michelle Yeoh). Only the discipline of Tai Chi can help Junbao defeat his former friend. Includes some of the most spectacular martial arts fight scenes ever filmed, including a huge finale with a cast of thousands.
