SYNOPSIS:

A bandit, Jack (Ronald Cheng Zhung Kei) makes a living by robbing by passers, businessman, riders etc until his life changed after a fairy cum swordswoman, Rose fell on top of him in search for a man she is bound to marry under one condition - the man must be able to pull out her sword of destiny out from her.

Out of the blue, he accidentally pulled out her sword 3 times, resulting Jack and Rose had a cat and mouse chase around the world (yes, around the world)....

During the chase, Rose fell down while chasing him and dropped a black box - Pandora's Box which he used it to run away from her to another dimension. Thinking that he escaped from her, but not knowing that this is only the beginning of his journey through hell. He landed into the land of war age state, the land where extinct monster eats human as meal and even the land where fairies and demons resided etc.

To make matter worst, she who madly fell in love with him catches up wherever he goes with different disguises to make him fall in love with her! Will Jack be able to escape from her or be a victim of her love?

MY VIEWS AFTER WATCHING:

I not really interested any or fan of Ronald Cheng's any movies, I only watched because my friends invite me to so mind as well sit through the whole movie to entertain them and I know that each and every of Ronald's movie is included vulgar and sexual genre in it.

But, I can't deny also that I got 'entertained' a bit by all that lame humours and silly things. Somehow, I think that it only works for a while because more lame and weird mixture of different movies started making up one *ahem* maybe below C- grade movie (you can guess how bad it is)....

Why you say? Because this movie is actually a reenactment of different movie background into
a single compilation movie ala 'Scary Movies' series, 'Meet the Spartans' or 'A Date Movie' etc by the Wayan Brothers style!!! If you watch 'JAPB', you will remember some great movies like 'The Red Cliff 1 & 2', 'Journey To The West', 'Kung Fu Hustle', 'Kung Fu Panda' and even 'Titanic' fell victim to this movie!!!

In a nutshell, 'JAPB' will also entertain you with great actors and actresses collision course line up to entertain you! The casting of 'JAPB' doesn't have main characters (including Ronald) nor supporting character or side-cast members, for they just came together to make one hell of a good lame jokes out for entertainment.

PROS:

  • Still enjoyable to watch and laugh - FOR A WHILE ONLY
  • Lots of our favourite actor and actresses starred in this movie
  • Combos of famous and great movie scenes combined in one

CONS:

  • Too much vulgar words and sexual obscenity talks/actions
  • Lame jokes lasted only a few minutes and got sick and tired out of it easily
  • Chinese historical events but some scenes speaking in English?!?!?! (whaaaaaaattttt!!!!)

RATINGS:

Got entertained but not for long. I just feels like it is not the right type of tea for me eventhough I does enjoy watching comedy, it is just that this one too exaggerated, lame and totally out of logic field for me.... I only can rate it a passable score of 3 out of 5 stars.

3/5 stars rating for a 'moment entertainment' and laughs only.....
