YAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Folks, I don’t even know where to begin. My whole life has been a lie. I thought that I’d seen real martial arts movies, i.e. Fist Of Legend, Drunken Master 2, Once Upon A Time In China, Iron Monkey, etc. But all of those films simply pale in comparison to these three minutes of cinematic ass-kicking gold. They don’t even deserve to be mentioned in the same blog entry, much less their reviews be linked to in a blog entry that deigns to mention them.

Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Bruce Lee… posers, all of them. They have nothing on these three minutes and all they hold: the sweaty man chests, the bloody knife-licking, the shirt-ripping, the witty dialog, the throat-grabbing, the mullets, the gratuitous slow-mo, the gratuitous synthesizers, the gratuitous eye violence, and of course, the gratuitous yelling.

Oh so much yelling. Via
