Not my favourite Jet Li movie by any means, though its few epic fight scenes do make up for it's shortcomings to some extent.

"Adventure King" won best Visual Effects and was nominated for Best Action, it lost to Police Story 4: First Strike. This film reunites Jet Li with Rosamund Kwan (Once Upon a Time in China) and Billy Chow (Fist of Legend). It's dated, but still a fun tribute to Indiana Jones. Li and Kwan have great chemistry.

Jet Li en Indiana Jones version asiatique ? Si on veut oui. Avec le cote humoristique en plus. D'ailleurs, c'est ce qu'on retiendra du film: un Jel Li qui se la joue comique plus qu'autre chose. Autrement, le film se fait vite oublier.
