They’re approached by a bizarre businesswoman while scurry the trash littered alleyways. The trio has retired to Manhattan during the 90’s, selling phony items on the street and pretending to not speak English when INS shows up. The only problem is they’re no longer together. Their knowledge of the feudal history, various religions and of cryptic folklore, make them a formidable force, as well as world renowned tomb raiders. While many, including myself, would call them grave robbers, they hold a deep respect for the mothballed tombs that they enter.

Hu Bayi (Kun) is the film’s Indiana Jones. I’m sure MOJIN is somehow based on some Asian mythology or pulled straight from a Chinese history book, but I don’t have the knowledge to fully appreciate it.

Since he was in the middle of going to the gym and I was deep into the story and action of MOJIN, he asked me to summarize the movie as best I could. So when I name dropped that I was watching MOJIN, he predictably had never heard of it. Generally, he’s never heard of the movies that I’m watching. It’s just that I was multi-task while sitting in my apartment while watching movies. During my viewing of MOJIN: THE LOST LEGEND, I was conversing with a friend about all the movies I have to watch.
