Treasure Hunt1994
International action superstar Chow Yun Fat (BULLETPROOF MONK) stars in this action adventure shot entirely on location in China's famous Shaolin Temple and co-starring legendary kung fu star Gordon Liu. CIA agent Jeff Chang (Chow) is assigned to China to bring a mysterious treasure back to the U.S. As Jeff settles down at the Shaolin Temple while he awaits his mission, he becomes entangled with the temple's monks, their eccentric abbot (Liu) and Siu Ching (Jacqueline Wu), a prisoner of the monks who may or may not be blessed with supernatural powers. With gorgeous cinematography by Peter Pau, 2001 Academy Award winner for Best Cinematography for CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, and amazing action, TREASURE HUNT is a priceless gem of a film highlighted by a superb performance by the ever-graceful Chow Yun Fat.

Though jumping from action to deranged comedy to soapy drama is par for the course for Hong Kong films, "Treasure Hunt" spends too much time being serious for its other personalities to be welcome when they turn up intermittently. At least Shaolin Temple looks good.
Awesome movie, comedy/action.
