Master Of Zen [1994]

This was a movie Adam started watching on his own before realizing it would be a good bad movie night option. He wanted to watch it because he was curious if there was a movie about Bodhi Dharma and, well, there is, but it definitely leaves something to be desired.

The film tells the story of Bodhi Dharma, the third prince of a family in India who discovers Buddhism. He then goes to China to spread the word. From there we get a bunch of little vignettes about Bodhi Dharma like how he told off the king, crossed a river using a reed, and meditated for nine years.

Overall, the real appeal of this film is the insane dubbing and the Crouching Tiger-esque special effects. It's definitely funny for the first 20 minutes or so, but then it drags.
