The rest of the movie's running time is spent with intercut scenes without any transition of:
The movie tries to be funny and Zhoo's plan is so ridiculously direct ("Fight our way in, kill the villain, save the princess, fight our way out") it could be a parody of cliche video game plots, but sadly they take it dead seriously.
Jack reluctantly follow Zhoo to the other dimension through the pot to save the Princess. The movie tries to portray Su Lin as a badass warrior princess while she gets shown our world and goes through the cliche antics you see in every such movie (like eating ice cream and shopping in a mall), but it really doesn't work since she is soon kidnapped and spends the rest of the movie like Princess Peach in a Mario game.
The super stereotypical Princess Su Lin (Ni Ni) details the plot - evil barbarian warlord Arun (Dave Bautista) wants to conquer her lands and marry her, and she asks the fabled Black Knight for help. So after getting an ancient pot from his boss, one day Jack awakens with a sword pointed at his throat, courtesy of Zhoo (Mark Chao), the princess' no-nonsense martial artist bodyguard (because that's the way to recruit someone whose help you need). However, his skill attracts the attention of a wizard in a distant dimension, who thinks he is the cliche Chosen One to kill the villain and save the princess. Jack hangs out with his nerdy friends while being the best player in his own game (duh) as the Black Knight. Because sure, that's how high graphic games are made, by one teenager, not by a huge team of programmers and designers and testers.
Our main character is Jack (Uriah Shelton), who is making a God of WarMortal Kombat blend fighting game with superb graphics in his free time at home, while helping out his single mother by temping at a grocery store. vaguely, because it never uses the interesting mythology associated with it. Enter the Warrior's Gate does this in a generic fantasy-land vaguely based on ancient China.
We have seen a hundred similar movies already where the protagonist is whisked away from our world to a fantasysci-fi setting so they can become the prophesied hero and save the day.
