The Old Kung Fu Series With Ninjas!

[3113]

Does this movie look as funny to anyone else as it does to me?

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Looks pretty dopey. I will probably see it sooner or later.

 

[rgraham666]

Looks like fun.

For those who like this sort of thing, go here. They've even got fun things like The Kid with The Golden Arm and The Five Deadly Venoms.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

I hated the Kid with the Golden Arm... 5 Deadly Venoms was a good one though

 

[R. Richard]

You gotta be kiddin' me.

 

[Handley_Page]

I don't like it when they start whirling through space.
Give me a straight fight any day.

 

[oggbashan]

I like What's Up, Tiger Lily

Og

 

[Zeb_Carter]

Yep. Funny. Kung Fu remake for sure.

Except this Ninja master is not going to say "I do not want to fight...."

That's only because he's not a priest of the Sholin.

Bet he doesn't play the flute or wander around barefoot either

That's the producer pandering to the younger generation that won't know the difference.

Best line EVER!

"Ninjas. Damn."

I absolutely adore Geoffry Rush. I'll see the movie just because he's in it, and always steals every scene he's in.



On a side note, you do realize that the barefoot thing is completely grounded in reason (and is probably the most realistic part of that series), don't you?

Not hardly.

There are proprioceptive sensors in the soles of your feet (true...look it up) that are one of the body's primary ways (besides the inner ear) of keeping it's balance.

When you're fighting martial arts-style, your balance is of major importance, and it's almost impossible to maintain the balance you need without engaging those receptors.

Snerk!

Well you think walking on rice paper without leaving a mark is easy and you don't need balance?
