The one is one of my favorite movies of jet Lee, and how got into metal as a 6 year old 🤣🤣🤣🤣. The ending fight scene on the pryamid was badass. I have seen so many movies because my mom bought all the movies of her favorite actors. The blonde jet Lee was a kpop star lol
This movie is way underrated. It was a fun action flick at the tail end of the hyped kung fu movie era with a neat sci fi premise, sort of making the genre timeless. I appreciated all the clips and the synopsis, but that review style is best for older movies, because it's spoilertastic. The NewBee, I hate to admit it, being a fan of older movies, but if you cover some newer, hotter material, you might get the views you deserve.
Honestly, the newer movies I review don't usually get a lot of views. I guess because YT is already saturated with other reviews by the time I get mine out. But I do want to do more recent stuff. Stay Tuned!
theNewBee I am sorry to hear you are unsatisfied with your views. Some of my favorite content online is reviews of familiar favorite classic and mobile games and reviews of favorite older and newer films. It feels sort of like seeing and discussing a favorite topic with a friend, and I highly value the ones with thoughtful commentary and a lot of clips - like yours ! But the game reviews I watch tend to receive 10x as many views, and I always felt this is unfair since some of the same editorial quality often goes into the less popular film reviews, and I appreciate both just as much. Thus, I always figured the main difference is the content covered. Also, unfortunately, marketing plays a key role. The top review channels, movie or game, tend to feature regular releases and have a lot of loyal subscribers that watch every video. Anyway, I am glad you appreciated my comment ! I always like to shout out for great videos and creators that deserve a bit more praise. Thumbs up for you !!
I'm not at all unsatisfied, I appreciate each and every one of my views and viewers. Of course I would loooove more views, but I'm also realistic and patient. You never know where lightning will hit. But when it does, there's usually excitement and a lot of screaming. Anyway, thank you so much for the shout out!
theNewBee If it makes you feel any better, I've been casually watching your channel for years. I am also gonna go back and watch your review of Doom, Blair Witch, and ID4. Also, you're not overthinking it !! Script writers are paid to think. Don't let them get away with cinema sins !!!!!
One thing that made no sense was how they couldn't stop him the second time. I understand they can't stop him after the 100th time, because he's literally God now, but I am wondering how they didn't imprison him the second time or something.
I always thought the concept of both fighting styles was quite brilliant to represent both characters. Yulaw's style (Xingyi Quan) is based upon offensively moving in a linear-straight line (as he is always focused on progressing forward towards his next target/kill) and Gabe's (Bagua Zhang) involves moving in a circle (as he is focused on the things most important in his life, aka, his wife). Gabe's home also features tapestry with circular designs and he refers to his wife as, "His center". Great review as always and a great movie.
Me and my brothers use to watch this movie on repeat as kids constantly acting out the fight scenes while down with the sickness played in the background lol
I just realized that if the quickening had happened at the end of the movie, and one of them had become the one, then there would have been in total, 125 universes with them in it originally. Does that mean that there are 125 timelines total, or are there more and we are just following his character chain? If it is the second, what if some people have larger timeline chains than others? Are they naturally weaker than Gabe? Have they got the same natural strength boost ratio? If I were as strong as Gabe is before he feels the effects of the quickening but had timeline chain of 250 equivalents, would I be as strong as law or gabe were at the end of the movie once I racked up 123 kills or not? This raises so many questions!
I just started running through your reviews, and every movie seems to get 2.5 bees. But you really liked this more than most 2.5 movies? It seemed so. Give up .5 bee to the young Jet Li! (OMG, look up a pic of him now!)
I may have miss it since it is late at night when I’m watching this but how come all the Jet Lees weren’t on equal in power? If the evil one kept killing the others was he taking something of theirs? (So that it wouldn’t transfer to the other Jet Lee’s) How’d the power know to go to that one instead of all of them? Wouldn’t he and Gabe be on the same power just Gabe wouldn’t know how to use it?
I’m beginning to understand better now on the Multiverse after watching CW’s The Flash, The Flash (2023), Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse…..Jet Li’s The One is considered a fun movie…..
Cool review. I like this movie and it could have been better and have some sequels if it weren't written by a writer with huge hard-on for action. By the way, nice shirt Newbee.
6:13 This scene is a little bit of a plot hole, could have been written better, but with the interdimensional cops, they don't want to kill him because then there's One.
I remember seeing this film. I like Jet Li -- he's one of the most amazing kung fu /martial arts experts. What I didn't like was the subtle reference to Asians "all looking alike," and having the "good" Jet Li fall for a White woman. But these 2 things didn't take away from the film overall.
I've never seen this movie, but the multiverse police remind me of the time police in Super Jail 😂 Warden was arrested for what he was going to do, and there was an entire multiverse there! I wouldn't doubt it if the series creator was inspired by this movie :)
Late comment it definitely seems like to gain the strength one of you has to kill the other but every other version of you also gains power it splits evenly. Though it does seem like everyone else doesn't get the power up as quickly
Here's what i think the correct answer may be to your question, jason statetam said in the movie that the remaining energy gets split between the surviving jet li's , . and your question was : why didn't the other's get a power up , answer is : they did , but yu law, was a better martial artists\ assassin cpmpared to his victoms. , the last law that yu law killed was with a gun , fast, easy and smart ,like a ninja assassin with a gun , and if you noticed , the last law kicked and bended the iron jail bars of the prison almost injuring the inmate , so that's proof that the remaining energy was shared , but the ability to use it effectively meant that you needed to be a experienced martial artist first just like gabe and yu law , in real life gabe would bedead but main character plot armor bllsht 😂😂😂😁
Left out the fact that, while the rest of the movie is a little cheesy, it had one of the all time best... endings... ever. That last scene where he's dropped into prison and immediately begins tossing everyone around like he's fighting two year olds as they pan out. That scene has everyone cheering for the bad guy.
I liked this movie, but I couldnt help but wonder though....in all the other universes surely there have been ....doubles? Alternates? of people who have died just due to any number of circumstances, car accident, crime, disease, animal attacks, allergic reactions, plane crashes and more including universes where the timeline is more or less advanced. So wouldnt it be not all that uncommon for some ppl to end up with super strength n all that? or do they have to kill their alt selves personally? why would that matter? If gabe didnt kill all the other gabes and they all just died of various other reasons.....and it was just the 2 gabes left.....would the multiverse cops still go after them or try to kill them? So the whole implode explode become a god deal isnt then technically illegal? What happens if the bad gabe dies in that prison world? It seems rather foolish to send him there if there was a concern of what might happen if all but 1 of someone dies. Seems cryo sleep or something woulda been a better method.
Also, killing this last Law from "our universe" makes Yu Law the One but does that mean there's only 125 multiverse? Seems rather small when consider that there SHOULD be a different universe for every decision possible lol
So you’re not going to address the soundtrack that helped this movie in its most awesome moments? And made it definitely an early 2000’s moment? Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Papa Roach were all staples in Nu-Metal
The mouse bomb 🐁💣 is the ultimativ weapon 😂😂😂😂 this bomb ends everything. Brexit, IS, Boko Haram, Gaza, Venezuela crisis, Hongkonk democraty protest ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mean, for why the chair doesn't go when he transports, couldn't it just be that it only transports biological material? So, although the nails and hair aren't alive, they would transport, and he could be wearing clothes made of cotton or some other biological material. Just a thought
He should have taken the CANABIS universe over last. He then would had been the 1. Guy was probably a laid-back pot head who be so burnt-out. Easy kill. Not wise choice.
I have to admit something.....being quite short on money the possibility I will buy a movie reviewed here- even if I love it- is almost zero atm , due to my non existent movie budget, just like my non existebt pc budget and DVD player budget, or speaker budget....or even a cheap headset budget....the last one I borrowed a friend and he doesn't give it back now. But bugging me to join Team speak. Haha. Not funny. Asshole. So I'm exclusively here for the puns and jokes and maybe I'll remember one of the movies I'd like to watch, when times will be better....though it doesn't look like things will change soon, even if I try my ...uhm ....prolonged back off.... But I get a good laugh , even without watching the actual movie and that's priceless- especially for someone with PTSD and severe depression, amongst a bunch of other things I could easily return to whoever blessed me with that shit....UGH.
"If they made a sequel, would it be called the two?"
Nope, "Another One".
The One 2: Multiverse Boogaloo
@@timberry4709 hehe good one. In theaters now! ^u^
Won again
The Seconds lol
Epic!
I watched this as a kid,and i didn't even kniw there was a plot i only watched it for the fighting...thanks bro
Yeah agreed it actually has a pretty sweet plot
The one is one of my favorite movies of jet Lee, and how got into metal as a 6 year old 🤣🤣🤣🤣. The ending fight scene on the pryamid was badass. I have seen so many movies because my mom bought all the movies of her favorite actors.
The blonde jet Lee was a kpop star lol
A kpopstar yes now that you say it after all these years i never noticed that lol
It’s Jet Li 👍
"Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself" 😂 This is still one of my fave movies. Hilarious review as always, New Bee! 🐝
I love Jason Statham, but thank God he never did an American accent ever again.
I found you at last! Lol I was looking for this comment! 👍

Ditto
This is an old movie that I watched as a kid. I loved it. Can't wait to watch it again
Great review, i still like this movie, it has a fun plot, and some of the action scenes still look great
damn the taylor swift reference was SO good 😂 your puns and references are what keep me here lol
the movie is fun, even more than most of the movies today.
it's been released in 2001 and still fun to watch ..
“I’m nobodys bitch”, best line in the movie haha. One of my favorites. Way underrated
One thing that made no sense was how they couldn't stop him the second time. I understand they can't stop him after the 100th time, because he's literally God now, but I am wondering how they didn't imprison him the second time or something.
I think that was the point of making him an agent originally..he probably used his position to cover up jumps for a while.
I always thought the concept of both fighting styles was quite brilliant to represent both characters.
Yulaw's style (Xingyi Quan) is based upon offensively moving in a linear-straight line (as he is always focused on progressing forward towards his next target/kill) and Gabe's (Bagua Zhang) involves moving in a circle (as he is focused on the things most important in his life, aka, his wife). Gabe's home also features tapestry with circular designs and he refers to his wife as, "His center".
Great review as always and a great movie.
the commentary on the dvd explained that Yulaw's style was a real style based on being shackled in prison with limited movement
I actually loved this movie.
This is another favorite one from when I was younger it was so fun to watch thank you for the review always funny and informative
Me and my brothers use to watch this movie on repeat as kids constantly acting out the fight scenes while down with the sickness played in the background lol
This is some hidden truth analogous paradigm of how if we become complete we become more spiritually powerful
❤exactly
Thanks Bee! On a Bee Marathon now!!!🥰

So few ytubers reviewed this movie...corny as it was..its hard to dis "The One". kudos .. 😊
Great review 👍 😀
Every version of me in every universe thanks you. XD
I rented it on VHS as soon as it was out and watched on my kickas 20" crt. Then immediately watched it again. It was goood
I like this movie way more than I should’ve as a kid. Hilarious review. Thank you!

Hi newbee! Can u do a review of "the man who fell to earth".I know it's been done but I'd love to see your take and dry humor on it!
This film is 20 years old 😎 A True “So Bad It’s Good” Film ✍️
This was a great video 🔥💯 and this movie deserves a remake and the fight scenes are still some of the best ever
OK I know I'm not the only one to ask this after seeing this... Rick & Morty episode reviews? Season 4? This vid was awesome as always BTW
If Yulaw survives the prison he would physically get so much stronger. As Gabe becomes wiser and hopefully masters his marital art becoming centred.
This movie was awesome. Been a fan of Jet Li since my single digits (have an uncle who had a collection of DVDs)
9:34 Mortal Kombat Fight Scene !! 🤸♀️
I clicked as soon as I saw it! I loved this movie!
I just started running through your reviews, and every movie seems to get 2.5 bees. But you really liked this more than most 2.5 movies? It seemed so. Give up .5 bee to the young Jet Li! (OMG, look up a pic of him now!)
I just found out about your channel, you sir are a genius RUclipsr
Keep up the excellence bro

The power WAS shared between all “Jet Li’s” 👍
Great movie! Good soundtrack
I watched this as a kid... my parents are awesome.
I’m beginning to understand better now on the Multiverse after watching CW’s The Flash, The Flash (2023), Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse…..Jet Li’s The One is considered a fun movie…..
If I had Tacos after that my stomach would go from Growling to Roaring
I always wanted a sequel ,the only one or the one too or the one who implodes or the one+
One of my favorite episodes, and one of my favorite movies

14:25 true !
we should ask for a pre-quel and victim 118 of 123 should be our guy
watch out, marvel !
this was my multiverse of madness

Love how people try to make this relate to real life. They are the people i hate watching movies with
quotable of The One,
I am Yu Law, I am nobody's bitch.
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!
Found the cheat code to life 🤣🤣🤣 perfect explanation
5:06 i over think movie too and people tell me is just a movie but if that the case... yeah, I overthink it 5:06.
Left out the fact that, while the rest of the movie is a little cheesy, it had one of the all time best... endings... ever.

@4:58 I had exact same question at that instance !
A sequel would be. The one two.
The Newbee looks like a younger Ebert! Lol
I need a Siskel!
how 2 left when endless exist? XD
There's too many versions of you to ever kill them all
" Need a law. The cannabis universe" Whats ins the hells?
Also, killing this last Law from "our universe" makes Yu Law the One but does that mean there's only 125 multiverse? Seems rather small when consider that there SHOULD be a different universe for every decision possible lol
Could that mean he only existed in 125 universes?
Came here cuz I was checking if there was a remake in the pipe line... nope.. anybody got 50 mil they wanna go in with me on ?
I was looking for an explanation of the plot but just found a guy with a tupai making fun of the movie
I remember this movie many years ago when I was 7
What is that shirt your wearing sir? Ninja scroll? Jem?
Good review Patten Oswalt
*watches Rickus & Mortimer, still pays attention*

Tbh probably my favorite movie
So you’re not going to address the soundtrack that helped this movie in its most awesome moments? And made it definitely an early 2000’s moment? Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Papa Roach were all staples in Nu-Metal
I had a section with the music and it got copyright slapped so hard, so I had to cut it. :(
Will you do unleashed with jet Lee i love that movie
The mouse bomb 🐁💣 is the ultimativ weapon 😂😂😂😂 this bomb ends everything. Brexit, IS, Boko Haram, Gaza, Venezuela crisis, Hongkonk democraty protest ... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
and people thought everything everyone all at once is so original lol
I mean, for why the chair doesn't go when he transports, couldn't it just be that it only transports biological material? So, although the nails and hair aren't alive, they would transport, and he could be wearing clothes made of cotton or some other biological material. Just a thought
Maybe you can do war with jet lee and Jason Statham
Yes
He should have taken the CANABIS universe over last. He then would had been the 1. Guy was probably a laid-back pot head who be so burnt-out. Easy kill. Not wise choice.
The sequel would be named : encore ?
Second
Before marvel multiverse, there was the one
The sequel could be called “the next one”
Spread wider than the flu at a kissing booth
Ohhh if only you knew then what you know now
Hipa laws in 2020 be like LOL.
It's a dumb action film that is good at being a action film and doesn't pretent to be more than what it is. Its fine.
I too wonder what Blonde Gabe was like. And dreads Gabe....total stoner
the title should be
2020 - the one : the beginning
this can be the next dragon ball evolution
Jet Li lack of acting talent really shows in this movie.
He’s much better in “Unleashed” 👍
I don't think his acting is why he gets roles. Smh 🤦 🤦
Toasty!
I won’t be the one, but neither will you
Your title should not review,,, but "Everything wrong with The one movie"
Sequel the 2 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have to admit something.....being quite short on money the possibility I will buy a movie reviewed here- even if I love it- is almost zero atm , due to my non existent movie budget, just like my non existebt pc budget and DVD player budget, or speaker budget....or even a cheap headset budget....the last one I borrowed a friend and he doesn't give it back now.

Decent film if you ignore Jason Statham’s awful American accent.
Main character a Chinese guy? No thanks.
You can't say Rick and Morty. Because Rick and Morty didn't exist at the time of this movie. But good review.
Multiverse, where anything is possible
@@theNewBee lol! Funnyman!
Can you get money doing reviews or not
Not a lot
🌀🌀🌀🌎❤️💫🇦🇺
I this was Keanu Reeves it would have been cooler just sayin
No. It would have sucked. Jet Li is a far superior martial artist
