5.0 out of 5 stars Light-hearted action adventure with Indiana Jones elements
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019

This is a fun romp of an action adventure comedy with a bit of a different take on the treasure hunter story as that particular aspect is being written by the "real world" main characters as the movie goes on.

Do not go into this movie expecting a lot of Jet Li's typical fighting. It's there, but the movie is much more story-based than fight-based for the most part. However, Li plays this part well and adds in a lot of good-natured humor.

One stand out element is the nature of the mentor-mentee relationship between Li and Takeshi Kaneshiro's characters. It's often hilarious and sometimes sweet and leaves behind a lot of the (what I think are) more annoying aspects of that type of relationship in these kinds of movies. Kaneshiro's character is often played for laughs, but not in a childish way, and Li treats him with respect rather than chastising him constantly.

Overall, the movie is well-acted throughout. The story line is light-hearted and makes for a rollicking good time with action, drama, and comedy gags interspersed. It won't make you think too hard, and it'll entertain you for an hour and a half. Good times.

1.0 out of 5 stars A "MEI AH LASER DISC CO. LTD" DVD
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2012

This is a comment about this version of Jet Li's Dr. Wai, issued by "MEI AH", and not a review of the movie itself. Because despite more than a dozen tries on two different computers I was unable to get the English subtitles to appear. And as I neither speak Mandarin or Cantonese, I had no idea what the movie was all about. I therefore threw it out.

And here is an additional comment: There is another DVD, also issued by "MEI AH", this time of Jet Li's "Hitman", which although it plays well, cannot be advanced or backtracked scene by scene, only from chapter to chapter.

Conclusion: As I never had problems like these with DVDs issued by other companies, I will make sure not to buy any DVDs issued by "MEI AH" in the future!

3.0 out of 5 stars Jet Li as Indiana Jones
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2002
this movie is different......not your usual Jet Li Movie. Jet Li meets with Cousin Yee again...Jet Li is pretty funnny in this movie and he smiles a lot.
he's a Chinese professor that is looking for a scripture with no words because it predicts future and stuf. and the Japs are looking for it too. the timeline is when China was gettin invaded by Japan or been invaded.
Cousin Yee plays a Japanese Officer trying to lure Jet Li, they fall in love( like other movies) then...

Showcasing once again the superb on screen fighting power of Asian Superstar Jet Li, Hong Kong's box office smash 'Dr Wai' is set in the early Twentieth Century where Wai (Jet Li)embarks on an action packed quest in search of 'The Scriptures With No Words.' Along with his trusty assistant Pao (Takeshi Kaneshiro) they encounter many obstacles on their way, including the lovely-but-deadly Yu Fung (Rosamund Kwan), a top agent for the Japanesem who is attracted to Dr Wai's boyish looks, and the lethal fighting skills of underworld gangster Ngai (Ngai Sing - 'Bodyguard from Beijing'), who falls prey to the scriptures and transform into a powerful monster to confront Jet in the final showdown. Ching Siu Tung, director of such classics as 'A Chinese Ghost Story', 'The Heroic Trio' and its sequel 'The Executioners', weaves his stylist magic set against magnificent backdrops, delivering an epic action adventure in true Hong Kong Style. There's also an excellent supporting role from supervillain Billy Chow ('Fist of Legend') and more. Watch out Indiana Jones, your Chinese cousin is on his way into town! Original UNCUT chinese version witgh English titles.

Not that impressed with that movie. It is too long and convoluted but has some good martial art scenes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't bash this dvd on it's quality.
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
Before I get started on the movie itself, let me just say, Don't bash the quality. It was low quality to begin with as it was never a legit release, which explains why the subs aren't the best. And yes, certain dvd players can't read this dvd. That in itself is the only issue I have.

Overall though, the movies are classic funnyman Jet Li, done in the same demeanor as The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk 1/2. It's a bit different from his "Era Hero" films, and not as cheesy as The Black Mask. A worthwhile add to anyone's Jet Li collection.

If you like watching movies with no original sound from the film but rather a person talking over the moving pictures this is your movie.

You've been warned.
