So I was watching tv last night and this gem came on. I remember seeing this in the theaters and being kind of disappointed with it, but watched it again last night and man was it bad. Usually Jet Li makes some decent movies, even if far fetched, but this thing was full of plot holes and continuity problems.
1. Ok first thing that bugged me. The stupid black gems which are actually a non-radioactive version of fissionable material that can be converted back to nuclear weapons grade plutonium with a laser. They got the thing in the laser doo jobby and they're turning it back into plutonium aka RADIOACTIVE again. Meanwhile they're all sitting around the thing 10 feet away wearing their cool protective eye wear. Mean while they should be getting bombarded with massive amounts of rads because the stupid chamber it's held in is glass and not lead encased. MY ORGANS! THE GOGGLES THEY DO NOTHING!
2. Chase scene with DMX on the four wheeler. He's running from the cops so he steals a quad from what looks like a movie set. One of the stunt guys starts chasing him on a dirt bike like he's a cop doing crazy jumps and risking life and limb for a $2000 recreational vehicle? Cha right.
3. Final fight scene between Jet Li and the head bad guy. The chopper said bad guy is in gets shot down. Burst into a massive fireball igniting another nearby chopper. Bad guy jumps out of the blown up chopper without even a sun burn to show for it. Then they're fighting in this ring of burning fuel. And it's raining. Meanwhile just across the tarmac, DMX is busting up the other bad guy and there's no water to be found. I guess the chopper broke a water main? They didn't even show that.
I could go on, but you get the idea. Maybe it was because they were airing it on tv and they cut scenes out? Even so, the movie was terrible. And Tom Arnold trying to be down with the homies was just friggin' annoying.

PS: Also saw Observe and Report. Terrible movie. Looked funny in the previews but it just wasn't funny. Seth Rogen = Meh.
