Only one man (pan-Asian star Takeshi Kaneshiro) can stop K-20 - if he can just figure out what evil genius is behind that ever-changing mask.

In 2005, Andrew Thompson of New Hampshire made hiking history by completing the Appalachian Trail in just 47 days, 13 hours and 31 minutes - setting an astounding pace of 45 miles a day. The 29-year-old hit the trail at 5:30 a.m. and ended at 9 p.m., losing 30 pounds in the process even as he ate up to 8,000 calories...
