Plot Synopsis: Mokei  (Jet Li) is injured by the Jynx Palm as a small child, and loses the ability to learn (or contract, whichever way you wish to interpret it) Kung-Fu.  When the 5 Clans come looking for the Li-Tin Sword, Mokei's father defends the secret with his heart, literally.  When his mother commits suicide to protect the secret of the great sword, Mokei is consumed with hatred for the 5 Clans.  After fleeing the Wu-Tang temple with a ninja from the Evil Sect, Mokei is infected with Great Solar Stance by the eerily Bulbasaur-esque Kung-Fu Master.  Together, Mokei and his godfather's slave girl must conquer an evil empire and preserve the sanctity of the World Of Martial Arts.
