Tabloids excitedly chronicled HER PLOT TO GET TOYBOY LOVER TO ALTAR. Paparazzi stalked them in Greece, and the couple had to relocate three times. "It cost us a fortune," Ritchie says.

The Emperor hires one man (the inimitable Jet Li) to stop them. Love, jealousy, rivalry and a flurry of martial arts vivify this ripping yarn...
