Too Much Information: The Unseen Deaths of Jet Li in 'The One' (Part 2)

Not all Jet Lis are evil. Only about a third. Last Friday I brought readers the first part of my examination of the many deaths of Jet Li in the cerebral science fiction movie "The One". The film is a dense meditation on the concepts of alternate dimensions and kicking people into walls in those alternate dimensions. It is certainly worthy of an epic two-part article looking at how the evil Jet Li (Yu Law) managed to kill 123 trans-dimensional duplicates of himself in a scheme to inherit their power and become unstoppable.

A couple of those 123 deaths are covered in the movie, but other than the epic struggle between the nefarious Yu Law and his good-cop duplicate from our dimension (Gabriel), there is little attention paid to the many deceased Jet Lis. Today I bring you the conclusion of this saga, covering the final 60 Jet Lis and how they met their untimely deaths.

Once again, keep in mind that each murder makes Yu Law and all of the other Jet Lis a little bit more powerful.

Jet Li 62 (Jerry Lawler) - Name entered by evil Yu Law into free lobster dinner giveaway. Lobsters surprisingly large, surprisingly angry, and surprisingly able to jimmy open locked door.

Jet Li 63 (Yur Lawn) - Death by electrocution. "DO NOT EAT" safety label removed from car battery by evil Yu Law.

Jet Li 64 (Diagnosis Law) - Evil Yu Law placed an old man's tooth in his hamburger. Diagnosis was hepatitis. Shot in face while exiting doctor's office.

Jet Li 66 (Sigourney Law) - Stabbed through eardrum with corncob while renting videos. Went to rent Bionicle 2: The Legends of Metru Nui on DVD after being very impressed with the animation and characters in the first Bionicle movie. When he got to the register he was told it was "Two for Tuesday" and he could rent a second movie free. Turned to see if they had Bionicle 3, was attacked and killed by the evil Yu Law who just happened to be renting Bionicle 3 in an ironic twist. A love of Bionicle movies spans the dimensions.

Candle burned through rope holding spring in place that launched toy soldier into a roller skate that went down a ramp that tipped over a bottle of water that poured out into a cup full of seltzer that released gas that filled a balloon that tipped a marble down a tube that landed on a button that sent an electric current down a line that tripped a switch that pulled a rubber band free that unwound a piece of string that sent a back-scracther spinning that hooked into a pistol and pulled the trigger and shot him in the face while he was sleeping.

Not all of the knives and forks, the actual drawer.

Jet Li 114 (Lawyu) - Wealthy and eccentric, built an exact replica of the Munsters house. Animatronic Grandpa not too willing to deflect groin lasers from evil Yu Law.

Jet Li 115 (Jurn Bjarnful-Law) - Was not wearing a clean pair of underwear when evil Yu Law threw a javelin through a concrete wall and into his chest. Well, he might have been, but they weren't clean after he died and no one was right there in his underwear to check. They would have to be really small to fit in there.

Jet Li 116 (Uyay Awlay) - From the Pig Latin dimension, also known as the most annoying dimension of all. Only included in the murder tally for completion's sake as Pig Latin dimension inhabitants are otherwise totally disposable.

Jet Li 117 (Volcano Tuxedo) - Realized his power was growing early in evil Yu Law's murder spree and used it to do the only rational thing: break world records in every sport and event to raise money, then use the money to build a Bionicle. Evil Yu Law felt nothing but contempt as he dispatched Volcano Tuxedo and his crude mockery of the Bionicle form.

Jet Li 118 (Bowser Lao) - Evil Yu Law leapt from a great height onto his head and smashed his brains across the tilting platform suspended over magma. No inquiries were made as to the location of the princess.

You never know what might be lurking in your attic crawlspace. Is it an evil Yu Law or something else? Jet Li 119 (Rip Van Law) - The greatest warrior in the entire dimension, trained in more than a thousand martial arts and with the heightened strength of a Godzilla or at least a Rodan. Shot in the face while sleeping.

Jet Li 120 (Hootie "Cheeseburger" Law) - Narrowly defeated evil Yu Law in a grueling three-hour snap battle. There were dozens the likes of which even God had not seen before. At the end of the day all who witnessed could agree that evil Yu Law's mama so dumb she catch a fish and try to wear it home and Hootie Law's face so kicked in he walk into a Timberland store and end up a snowshoe.

Jet Li 121 (Raen Law) - Dropped out of college to focus on his furry artwork, self-diagnosed with aspergers and had a girlfriend who identified herself as an otherkin dragon in contact with ancient spirits of another dimension. Was able to complete a final update to his MySpace as he was being kicked repeatedly in the face by evil Yu Law. This posting was what put trans-dimensional cops on the trail of the evil Yu Law's killings.

In the end, all of this murder and mayhem was useless. The evil Yu Law was transported to the Stygian dimension, which is pretty much like a Mortal Kombat dimension. There he gets to fight an endless stream of dudes while really sweet and sinister buildings loom in the background. Gabriel, the good-cop version of Jet Li, was dropped into a pleasant dimension where he encountered a doppelganger of the woman of his dreams working in a veterinary office. Love surely bloomed.

I hope you enjoyed this first installment of Too Much Information. In the future I will be covering a variety of topics, from movies, to games, to history, all with the same attention to detail.
