The key to this dilemma lies with Ryan, who has a friend named Ming, a virtuoso chef in a Chinese restaurant (he can land a ladle-full of fried rice on a platter at 10 paces). Ming is wise in the Zen master tradition, and he shows Ryan an empty cocoon: As a child he released a beautiful moth from it, only to see the moth die, because 'I interrupted its journey' and it 'needed its struggle.' Likewise, Ryan must continue his journey. If he feels inadequate as the water boy on the football team, then he must prove himself. Ming gives him an old book that may contain the answers.
'Warriors of Virtue' is ambitious in its production, if not especially original. Its set design is by Eugenio Zanetti, who won an Oscar for 'Restoration,' and he does a good job of creating a forest planet with towering trees and an Evergladeslike landscape not unlike Yoda's setting in 'The Empire Strikes Back.' The 'Star Wars' movies are evoked in more than the setting; when Ryan opens the old book Ming gave him, he finds its pages blank, and on the soundtrack we hear, 'The answer lies within you, Ryan'--which sounds uncannily Forcelike.
Warriors of Virtue could be the most impressive Hollywood debut yet for a Hong Kong director, although lackluster writing and a needlessly muddled storyline somewhat tarnish the effort. Warriors of Virtue: The Return to Tao: Directed by Michael Vickerman. With Kevin Smith, Nathan Phillips, Nina Liu, Shedrack Anderson III. Ryan and Chucky are taken to the parallel universe of Tao, where the they learn to become Warriors of Virtue. Sixteen-year-old Ryan Jeffers and his friend Chucky arrive at a martial arts competition in Beijing, China, prepared to fight. What they aren't prepared for is a return trip to Tao, a parallel universe now controlled by the villainous Dogon. While in Tao, Ryan and Chucky get a lesson in what it means to be a Warrior of Virtue as they endure rigorous training and ruthless attacks. Warriors of Virtue: The Return to Tao is a 2002 fantasy martial arts film and sequel to the 1997 film Warriors of Virtue. Warriors of Virtue: The Return to Tao (set a few years after the original film) sees a new villain, Dogon, seize control of Tao, a parallel universe forming the film's major setting. On Earth, 12–year–old Ryan and his friend Chucky arrive at a martial arts competition.
On the planet of Tao, he finds Elysia and Master Chung (a Mr. Miyagi clone) helped by a group of five creatures who look like kangaroos but behave like a cross between Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles. The kangaroos represent the elemental forces of fire, metal, wood, water and earth. (The movie informs us these forces are more powerful than 'guns, lasers . . . morphing.') As the evil Komodo schemes to drop the Roo-Warriors through a trapdoor into death by spinning blades, only Ryan can save the day--if he can wrest the book from the scheming little person Mudlap (Michael John Anderson).
