Apr 22 2008'Forbidden Kingdom' Not Forbidden from Winning Weekend Box Office, Because It Did
The Forbidden Kingdom - After taking in $21.4 million, I'd say this Jet Li/Jackie Chan team-up really jump-kicked the competition, alluding to their martial arts skills.
2. Forgetting Sarah Marshall - $17.7 million, hinting that the close friends and co-workers of the talented Judd Apatow may also have talent of their own?
3. Prom Night - $8.7 million, helped in part by me going with a big group of friends. I mean, I definitely could have gone to Prom Night with a date, but I just thought I'd have more fun without all the pressure. It's not because I couldn't get a girl to go with me. Because I could have.
4. 88 Minutes - $7 million, which is pretty good for something that is, by all accounts, terrible.
Nim's Island - I was thinking, the whole fantasies-becoming-reality-on-an-island would be great as an entirely inappropriate softcore porn, but what would it be called? All I could come up with was Nip's Island. I'm sure there's a better option. Anyway, it made $5.7 million.

Your joke on Forbidden Kingdom was way over my head. I am so glad you EXPLAINED it, though. I mean, come on, this helped me out so much:
"I'd say this Jet Li/Jackie Chan team-up really jump-kicked the competition, alluding to their martial arts skills"
It really helped me out, because I just could not grasp the whole "jump-kick" thing. Oh, and it added a whole other level of hilarity to this seemingly priceless joke. Thank you, iwatchstuff writer, for EXPLAINING your jokes so that everyone has a chance to understand them.
