Bonsai is the most highly read and appreciated script I have. (It was also the most fun to write)
The movie starts out looking like a most serious martial arts movie, but after the first action packed fight scene that
happens in the first
minute, the movie slowly turns into a not so serious one over the next ten. This transition is subtle at first, then the
discordant notes hit you in the face.
In fact we don't even get to see the "hero" Yan, until the eighth minute of the film, who although is the most
serious character in the movie, becomes surrounded by bizarre persons.
His master, Master Lee or Bobby E. Lee, a former Cajun chicken farmer, is obviously the worst martial artist in the movie, yet Yan holds him in the highest regard and defends his master's honor whenever anyone questions his master abilities. Yan is definitely living in a black and white world.

The plot gets downright silly when Yan accidentally intercepts a package for Master Yow, a button challenged, evil, business leader who wants to own all of the mystical pieces of the talisman of the Bonsai and use it against his personal pet peeve, buttons.
Yan, of course, discovers the plot and tries to stop Master Yow. But along the way Yan meets Yin, a most deadly
female martial artist. And of course she is drop dead gorgeous but she has been searching to find just the right man who can defeat her. Yan turns out to be her man. But she is bad and when Yan falls in love with her he is torn by his simple philosophy of life. Yin eventually switches sides and along with an extremely odd cast of characters at their side, they defeat Master Yow.

Wow!
Support this film. It gives me goose bumps just thinking of watching it on the big screen.
