The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)

The path is unsafe. The place is unknown. The journey is unbelievable!!!
An American teenager who is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kung-fu classics makes an extraordinary discovery in a Chinatown pawnshop: the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King. With the lost relic in hand, the teenager unexpectedly finds himself traveling back to ancient China to join a crew of warriors from martial arts lore on a dangerous quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King.

QUOTES:

Jason Tripitikas: I can't understand you.
Lu Yan: That's because you're not listening!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason Tripitikas: He needs wine. It's his elixir.
Medicine Monk: We will send a walking monk.
Lu Yan: Don't you have a running monk?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Silent Monk: But, he's not even Chinese.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Monkey King: You have freed me traveller, now go free yourself.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lu Yan: Don't tell me you consider it sinful to drink.
The Silent Monk: It's sinful if you don't share.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason Tripitikas: I'll never forget you.
Lu Yan: I guess that's what being immortal truly means.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lu Yan: [the Silent Monk does a Praying Mantis stance] Praying Mantis! Very good... for catching bugs! But not Tiger!
[does a Tiger Stance]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Golden Sparrow: [as she lies dying] Jade Warlord?
Jason Tripitikas: [tearfully] He's dead.
Golden Sparrow: I... I thank you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason Tripitikas: What do we do now?
Lu Yan: How good is your Kung-fu?
Jason Tripitikas: [puzzled look]
Lu Yan: He who speaks, does not Know; He who Knows, does not speak. Surely you're masterful.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Golden Sparrow: She should have killed you, witch!
Ni Chang: Not if I kill you first, orphan bitch!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Golden Sparrow: Come drink with me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason Tripitikas: You think you'll teach me the No Shadow Kick? Oh, and the Buddha Palm Technique. There's a guy in Virtua Fighter 2, who does the Buddha Palm Technique.
[Lu gives him a cup]
Jason Tripitikas: Thanks, Lu. And he does the Iron Elbow. And he does the One Finger Death Touch.
[the cup starts overflowing]
Jason Tripitikas: The cup's full. Stop! It's full!
Lu Yan: Exactly, how can you feel your cup if already full? How can you learn Kung Fu, you already know so much. No Shadow Kick, Buddha Palm! Empty your cup.
[Jason empties his cup]
Lu Yan: [looks at him in surprise] Hopeless. It is hopeless!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lu Yan: If one does not attach himself to people and desires, never shall his heart be broken. But then, does he ever truly live? I would rather die a mortal, who has a care for someone, than a man free from his own death.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jade Warlord: Martial art is based on deception, my friend.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lu Yan: [meets the Silent Monk for the first time] Ahh, good to get off my feet! Long day. So, where you from? Shangdong Province? You look like the Shangdong Province type. You come here often? That staff doesn't belong to you. You have to give it to me, or somebody might get hurt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lu Yan: Jump!
Jason Tripitikas: [stops before leaping from a roof] I don't think so!
Lu Yan: Don't think, just do!
