'Adventure King'; released in the Philippines as Adventurer from China) is a 1996 Hong Kong action film directed by Ching Siu-tung and starring Jet Li.

Temporarily escapes reality by living vicariously through one of his lead characters, Dr. Wai, in a story about a quest for a mythical scripture.

Dr. Wai, a prominent archaeologist and adventurer, is asked by the Chinese government to seek out the treasures box and scripture.

Wai traced the carved box to Justice News Daily and found out the editor was disguising his true identity.

This edit plays as a straightforward Indiana Jones-style adventure, eliminating the present-day framing scenario with Jet Li as a novelist; instead the remaining time is padded with exclusive period sequences.
