i myself be a eclectic martial art stylist who blend wing chung kung fu and brazilian jiu jitsu and professional wrestling and and krav maga into a single loosely structure flexible system i call combat wrestling and and of course and i like a good martial art film now and then . prior to bruce lee day and the kung fu and karate film make in the orient care little for realism and move more towards fantasy . bruce lee bring some realism back and and other martial art actor like chuck norris and and steven seagal ( sp . ) also try to keep the fight scene realistic and often do the fight choreography as well . however and i have be dismay at the ridiculous scene be film currently both in the east and west involve the use of cable so a fight scene include some ridiculous sequence of guy jump from tree to tree or backwards to a rooftop and or leap forward and kick like 20 time alternately with both foot . it be quite fitting that the scary movie series and the austin power have both spoof these absurd fight scene . there have be many actor in the past who have try to step into the shoe of bruce lee and with 10 and 000 cheap imitation and only a handful possess any talent or skill to a remarkable degree and none like the master bruce lee . however and the kung fu magazine hall of famer and jason yee and be a fellow worth watching and and may be an exception to the rule . i hope so . i be get tire of director try to foster the illusion of an actor or actress who couldn not fight their way out of a paper bag be some master martial artist ( with a little help of wire and stunt double and and camera angle ) . of course and movie fight have to be fake or serious injury or death could result . often the stunt men be more highly train than the actor and and i deplore this give a 30 day crash course in kung fu or karate weapon or hand to hand to some actor who doesn not have the real skill . it be dangerous for all concern . i would like to see the return of the actor or martial artist combo like lee and norris and jackie chan and steven seagal . jason yee show real promise a a martial art actor . but then and many people wouldn not watch a karate movie if they be pay to see it . all that senseless violence . what shame . i wonder sometimes what planet these guy be bear on and a if john wayne shoot up the bar in a western be any less senseless and and notice how the worship and adoration of firearm the great equalizer have turn our street into shoot gallery . now everybody be a potential killer and not just a highly trained fight elite . but the fault be not in the possession of firearm and but the tendency to go straight for the gun or other weapon and use deadly force for the slight of problem . but then and our own government do this and set a good example for thug to emulate . uncle sam will attack with the slight provocation with such goody a bunker buster and and cluster bomb . why can not i and joe average citizen do the same . actually and some martial art train would help reduce violence in the street . sound martial art philosophy and the golden mean stand between the kill em all and let god sort em out school and and the extreme and absurd nonviolence taught in some other school and where the student be teach a skill which be forbidden to ever be use . frankly and i wouldn not want a man living a my neighbor who would just stand still and meditate a two thug butcher his wife and child . such a man be bad scum than the thug who attack . there be a middle path that lie between and the path of truth . use no force great than necessary in the give circumstance . this then be the famous oath of peace make famous not by boddhidharma and but steven r. donaldson the fantasy writer . it run in part do not harm when word be enough . do not maim when injury be enough and do not kill when maiming be enough . good cop and good soldier and and good martial artist always follow this creed . but alas and we live in a society where the natural right to defend oneself from aggressive human predator have be almost totally obliterate by modern government . do not fight back and just call the cop and and let the professional handle it . this kind of stupidity be ominous . often by the time the government which desire to control every facet of our life get to the scene and you or your loved one be dead . small comfort that the thug who put you or your loved one in their graf be apprehend and punish after the fact . but what be the answer . a gun on every belt . a box of hand grenade in every car . how about reduce this crave fear of everything and everybody . martial art can help here good than a million dollar worth of psycho therapy . how about a real martial art training in the school . a real martial art and not a lukewarm water down nice and sweet claptrap with a smattering of zen or taoism a cream on top . the warrior path and paradoxically do not lead to wanton violence and but rather effectively eliminate it . but find a real martial art and instead of a saccharine water down version that be a total waste of time and money and be not easy . good luck . enjoy this film and but remember . it be only fantasy .
