The Lost Empire
The Complete Miniseries, Pt. 2
S1 E2:
An American scholar soon finds himself face to face with a wisecracking Monkey King (Russell Wong), a mystical warrior whose martial-arts skills are matched only by his sarcastic one-liners. The mismatched heroes have only three days to find an ancient manuscript and thereby save the world from destruction, and they're assisted by the timely interventions of the Goddess of Mercy (played by Bai Ling). From the classic Chinese story JOURNEY TO THE WEST.
