Has anyone seen that Jet Li movie THE ONE?

Just rented it on DVD. Awesome effects although you can easily tell that's a stunt double when Jet Li fought against himself. I think that was totally awesome at the end with the final showdown where the sparks started flying and the rock song (the same one on the Tony Hawk Pro Skating 2 game) came on. It totally hypes you up for the big fight but that only last a few seconds until the chorus comes on, which then makes you wonder if they're about to skateboard 🙁
 
the song is Sinner by Drowning Pool i belive.......

but yes... pretty good action movie... plot was kinda iffy.. but good action
 
hehe~.. in the end~ "I'm Nobodies B*tch"

That was the funniest line I heard from Jet Li~...

Nehow the movie sucked... special effects were good tho~
 
Jet Li owns when he starts speaking in an evil tone. It hides his accent and he looks mean! When he starts acting goody goody, then you hear his sissy voice 🙂 The final fight was pretty good although I thought they could have thrown some really good effects in there.
 
It was great senseless action 😛

Btw, The sweeetest part was when the bad Jet Li first escaped, and the song "Bodies" by Drowning Pool was playing in the background. Perfect Fit!
 
I'm debating whether I should buy this DVD. Haven't seen it yet, heard mixed things about it, but most of negative comments came from the plot and lack of real sci-fi elements (were people really expecting that in a Jet Li film?). But if this movie is wall-to-wall kick ass I'll probably go ahead and get it.
 
My friends and I were planning to see this in theatres, so we were all meeting at one guys house... at the last minute we changed plans because I had heard that the movie sucked, so we went to see something else. Well, one of our friends was running late so he decided to just meet us up at the theatre... we all saw a different movie while he saw "the one" all alone. We now refer to him as "the one".
 
It was a great action movie, cool effects and all. But the movie in general was nothing great. The plot was so so, acting..eh. Good rental, but i probably wouldn't buy it. IMHO

I think i rememeber seeing an interview with Jet Li where he was sayin how hard it was to film those scenes because he had to fight as one of the guys and then go back and do moves for the other, so i dont think there were stunt doubles, but maybe im wrong
 
The way I remember it The One had some good fight scenes in it. I don't remember how the fight scenes were in Kiss of the Dragon: were they better or worse guys?
 
seems mighty impossible for jet li to film himself twice fighting and then combine it. i mean if they really did that, then why would they need to always show the back of at least one guy during the fight scene? from an angle the guy with the back facing the camera doesn't look like jet li either.
 
btw, i thought kiss of the dragon was horrible. some good fighting scenes but plot blows. same with the one but the fighting scene had a more matrix effect so it was pretty cool 🙂

one of my best friends did the rigging for them. I was supposed to be on the set with him to help him translate.. anyhow I remembered him telling me that the last show down was Jet Li fighting against someone who's face is painted green then he has to go back to the scene and "act" out the face expression so I blieve Jet Li was refering to this part.
 
Anand gave this movie a negative review in one of his famous "Howdy I'm back again and while I was gone I saw ________ and it got X out of 5 stars!" Funny that I remember that.
 
finally got around to seeing it on dvd🙂 and saw resident evil on the same day.. gotta say the one was far more entertaining. atleast the movie knows its having fun😛
 
kiss of the dragon sucked and the one sucked......... who is li's agent....... someone's gotta get fired

he used to make low budget hk flicks that were a lot better than these
 
I went to see the movie on the day it released.
The movie was so good when it had me totally surprised!

The ONE is a big time SUCK movie I've ever seen. It's just one main scene (the parking garage) that Jet Li fights whole bunch of people with very cool special FX. But then it's repeated for 2 more times with the same place, same fight with almost the same people and the final scene (he fights himself) takes place at somewhere else. That's it!

REALLY STUPID MOVIE!
 
Kiss of the dragon and The one are pretty good movies, went with the wife to see them on the big screen.
Li is good but a Jackie Chan movie guarantees us to be at the theater. According to IMDB Jackie has 3 movies coming out this year.
Jet Li has a couple coming out too. 🙂
 
i actually wanted to go see this... so many movies that ive wanted to seee, but havent.. time to go down to blockbuster and rent some movies... does Blockbuster still have that DVDpass thing for $20-30?
