The One

It's Jet Li vs. Jet Li in a battle across the multiverse! But is "The One" (2001) an early 2000s sci-fi action gem or just a missed opportunity?

This week on Forgotten Cinema, we’re diving into this high-energy, multiverse "Highlander" where Jet Li takes on alternate versions of himself to become…well, The One. It’s got slow-mo, bad CGI, early 2000s rock, and—believe it or not—Jason Statham with hair!

Listen in as The Mikes discuss the many, many issues with the film. Mike Butler has some nostalgia for its early 00's vibes, but Mike Field? Not so much. They break down the highs, but mostly the lows, and whether this film deserves another watch in today’s world of multiverse madness.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.

What do you think—underrated sci-fi classic or just another early 2000s relic? Let us know in the comments!
