Quiz
The Chinese producers that accompanied the prop-makers, stunt-men, and cast, frequently added new scenes and shots on the fly during shooting. This did not allow for the prep-time common to the American crew and directors. It was typical that while shooting exteriors, as the day came to an end - as the sun began to set - the Chinese directors, producers, and cast would begin to speak almost entirely in Chinese, frantically calling for new shots and setups as the light was quickly fading. The American directors, cameramen, grips etc., would likewise then jump into a frenzy trying to both understand the desires of the Chinese producers and set up the impromptu shots.

Blooper
Near the beginning of the movie, when the muscular man has been treated and is receiving pills, you can clearly see the hand of somebody pushing him sideways to stand better in the shot.

Citazioni
May: [May has Jet arrested for trespassing in Uncle Tak's shop but gets him out on bail and tries to talk to him] Jet! I went through a lot of trouble to bail your out of there. Some thanks would be appreciated.
Jet: So why you lock me up then?
May: [dryly] Well look, you asked for it.
Jet: [calmly] No.
May: Look, it's my job to look after the shop, okay?
Jet: [Jet's not listening to May, he's trying to concentrate on what happened to Master Tak] I worried that... Master Tak got hurt in a fight.
May: [frustrated] You Chinese men and all your stupid fighting! It's what ruins our reputation here in America!
Jet: [irritated] You don't even know what you're talking about. You've got problems, don't blame me! You're too worried about... about your reputation, right? Goodbye!
[Jet storms off and the Barrio Boyz, follow him]

Versioni alternative
The following scenes were cut from the US version:
The opening scene, in which Anna fights a gymnastics student.
A scene of Anna being banned from gymnastics school.
A scene of Jet walking through Los Angeles is cut slightly. Also, acoustic guitar music replaces the original, more somber score, changing the intentions of the scene significantly.
A scene in which Jet, after the clinic is raided, finds Anna beaten up.

Positively surprised

I noticed there wasn't a lot of information on this movie, along with some low rating and negative reviews. Nonetheless, I vowed to own every Jet Li movie, so I had to buy this and watch it. And I must say, I was positively surprised!

Jet Li plays the student of Uncle Tak (Yuen Wah), who is a kung fu master and has established a shop for traditional Chinese medical treatment in America. Meanwhile there is an "evil" martial arts club that causes trouble, challenging and beating up kung fu masters all over town. Only with the help of Jet can these hooligans be stopped.

You can't enjoy this movie if you over-analyze every detail and point out the goofs, which are rather numerous. "The Master" is probably one of Jet's goofier movies, with a lot of miscommunication jokes and silly sidekicks. If this isn't your deal, try focusing on the great non-wired action scenes with Jet Li and Yuen Wah, who are both excellent fighters. All in all, this movie isn't for everyone, and it's definitely not Jet Li's best by far. HOWEVER, if you consider yourself a true Jet Li fan and can withstand some silly humor, then you should definitely see this movie. The fights were surprisingly good, which made me enjoy "The Master".
