Cinematical has just received this exclusive poster for The Forbidden Kingdom (click on the image for a larger version), otherwise known as the film that pairs up martial arts veterans Jackie Chan and Jet Li for their first ever big-screen collaboration. Directed by Rob Minkoff (The Lion King), The Forbidden Kingdom follows an American teen (Michael Angarano) and all-around Kung Fu nut, who comes across a mysterious Chinese staff that transports him back to ancient China. While there, he meets up with two Kung Fu masters (Chan, Liu Yifei) and the Silent Monk (Li), and the four head off to fulfill an ancient prophecy to free the jailed Monkey King. Of course, there's another set of warriors who will attempt to make their journey just a wee bit difficult.

Not long ago, a (sort of) teaser trailer premiered announcing the end of principal photography, and the footage looked pretty insane. Keep in mind the film's fight choreography is from Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix films, Kill Bill) with cinematography from Peter Pau (Shoot 'Em Up) -- which means we're definitely in store for some wicked visuals. The Forbidden Kingdom will arrive in theaters on April 18.

Because Disney is so adamant about being family-friendly, folks will always look for them to slip up. We've been down this road several times before: The Disney Urban Legends. Ah yes, the penis on The Little Mermaid poster, the topless woman in The Rescuers, the stars that spell out 'Sex' in The Lion King -- in fact, here's a YouTube video that shows you some of them up close. Well, now, some folks are claiming those peeps at the Mouse House have become a lot more blatant in their super-secret naughty ways. There's a clip from Enchanted currently online in which the Prince attacks a NYC bus, causing the bus driver to freak out and such. Well, roughly 30 seconds in, right before the bus driver says "Are you crazy,' it appears someone shouts "Get the f*ck outta here." Did Disney drop the F-bomb on us during a PG-rated movie? Say it ain't so. Say it!

Okay, it ain't so. Maybe it's because I'm from New York and I'm used to the accents, but if you listen closely it's clear this person is saying "Get that bus outta here," and not "Get the f*ck outta here." C'mon now, like Disney would ever let that one slide. But that still doesn't mean there's nothing dirty about the number one film in the country this weekend (with a nice $50 million take). In fact, JoBlo (who pointed us toward this whole f**king story) claims Enchanted star Amy Adams worked as a Hooters girl until the age of 18. Wait a second ... until the age of 18? So ... was she a Hooters girl at 16? 15? 10? That can't be kosher. Anyway, did you see Enchanted this weekend? Did you dig it? And what's your favorite Disney urban legend?
