Superstar Jet Li shows off his legendary speed, power, and agility at the peak of his martial arts prowess in this sweeping action epic. In an age of swordsmen and rebellion, two best friends and fellow martial arts students are expelled from the storied temple of Shaolin, only to meet again on the battlefield one a power-hungry general, the other a freedom-fighting rebel, both mortal enemies. Featuring Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon s Michelle Yeoh and directed by the celebrated Yuen Woo-Ping (action choreographer of The Matrix films), Tai Chi Master is a quintessential martial arts classic.

Summary: The 5 stars are for the real thing. Buy it at Borders.
Comment: I just bought the uncut, original Chinese version, subtitled, letterboxed "Tai Chi Master" at Borders for $12.99. It has the same cover as the DVD pictured here.
It's excellent in every respect. The extras are:
- Feature length commentary by Hong kong cinema expert Bey Logan
- Nemesis: Interview with Chin Siu Ho
- The birthplace of Tai chi: On location in Chen village
- Meditation on the master (director Yuen Wo-Ping)
- Twin warriors (on stars Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh)
- Original home video trailer
Everything is superlative on this DVD. It's a must for martial arts fans as well as students of Tai Chi.

Summary: Ex-cellent remaster.
Comment: I re-reviewed this awhile back, but my original review is a mile down the list....so I'm getting it up front:
On July 29, 2008, Dragon Dynasty released a re-mastered 96 minute cut OF THE ORIGINAL, which included the original Cantonese soundtrack.
The subtitles are improved (much easier to see than the original VHS version), the translations slightly changed, and the excellent opening scene song at San Feng's academy grounds (dropped in favor of cheesy Chinese elevator music in "Twin Warriors") is reinstalled.
If you like old school "Kung Fu" movies, you'll like this updated versdion, choreographed by the Master, Yuen Wo Ping.
The truly phenomenal wushu skills of the two leads (Jet Li and the little known but incredible Chin Siu Ho), make this an excellent show....

Comment: This is an excellent movie. Jet Li is incredible! Good story line, morals, and increible fight scenes. Buy it! Enjoy!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Must Have Among Others: Especially for Martial Artist
Comment: Although this movie has points of outright goofiness and cheesy comedy the martial arts technique is certainly sound. Other must haves are (in this order)
1. The Protector (THE MOST technically sound martial arts film I've ever seen)
2. Fist of Legend (THE 2nd MOST technically sound martial arts film I've ever seen)
3. Hero (Completely Fantastic Movie!!)
4. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Brilliant Story Line)
5. Flying Daggers (Good Love Story)
6. Iron Monkey (Great Forms)
7. Tai Chi Master aka Twin Warriors (Nice Technique but dumbly bad comedy)
7. Zatoichi (A Classic)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Movie
Comment: If you like martial art's movie's, then buy Tai Chi Master. It doesnt have the greatest stunts, and yes, they do fly around some times so there are some cables and things used for 98% of the fight scene's. But overall the movie was done well and has a great story.
