Romeo Must Die (2000) They've got the weapons. They've got the posses. And they've got no chance against former Hong Kong cop Han Sing. Gravity-warping martial arts, cool visual effects and an all-star music track combine in this revved-up action movie from producer Joel Silver (The Matrix) and starring Jet Li (Lethal Weapon 4) in his first English-language lead role.
Li plays rough-and-ready Han, who shares an attraction with Trish O'Day (screen-debuting songstress Aaliyah) even though their families are rivals in a fierce Oakland turf battle. The two also share plenty of danger as they try to find the real cause of the blood feud.
No gun, no posse? No problem. With Jet Li going to war as only he can, Romeo Must Die is alive and kicking.Cradle 2 The Grave (2003) The slam, the glam, the jam: Cradle 2 the Grave brings it! Producer Joel Silver and director Andrzej Bartkowiak, who fused martial arts with hip-hop style in Romeo Must Die and Exit Wounds, take it to the next level with Cradle 2 the Grave. Screen heroes Jet Li and DMX hit home and hit hard, starring as rivals-turned-partners in a volatile street war ignited by kidnapping, stolen black diamonds and a sadistic crimelord (Mark Dacascos). Kelly Hu and Gabrielle Union flex beauty and strength as foes destined for a clawdown. And Anthony Anderson and Tom Arnold add comedy jams to all the excitement that's set to gon'-give-it-to-ya tunes by Eminem, DMX and more. No mistaking it. From start 2 finish, Cradle rocks.
