Other Martial Arts movie out same time as Fearless.

Just wondering if anyone remembers the name of the other martial arts movie that came out the same time (within a week?) as Fearless that appeared similar to the Jet Li film. Think it had a similar one word title too...

I thought Fearless was incredible but The Protector nearly put me to sleep and had some parts that were laughable bad... some decent martial arts, but the plot was idiotic.

The plot is pretty retarded. However, if I were you, I'd rent it when it comes out because the North American version was severely butchered, and the DVD will have the longer International cut.

I thought the longer cut is even worse; the story is incredibly stupid. However, for me at least, the fight scenes more than make up for it. I find myself just fast forwarding to the fights and forgetting the movie altogether. I've shown it to several friends that way and they enjoyed watching it like that after I give them a brief synopsis.

The fight scenes in both "The Protector" and "Ong-Bak" are amazing, much better than anything I've ever seen from Jet Li...
