Hey all, just a random question. Personally, I like Okinawan Karate. But I've always been a big fan of Jackie Chan and Jet Li. For those who have seen the movie, what are your thoughts on the movie? And how do you think it's display on Kung Fu and Martial Arts was?

I agree! Some movements are effective, but there's just as many ineffectiveness as well to sell tickets. However, nothing in the MA is effective unless it works for that person at that given moment.

Still, I enjoyed the movie.

Im actually a really big fan of that movie!

Actually i enjoy most kung fu and martial arts movies, regardless of how headshakingly ridiculous they are.

Every summer i go down to a local night market and pick up a bunch of foreign subtitled films.

I know nothing of kung fu, so to me, there was nothing that i would perceive to be true or realistic kung fu. The movie was just very enjoyable in my opinion.

Kanku65 same here!! I'm so easily entertained by martial arts movies. I'd like to see more that use Okinawan Karate accurately because it's fun seeing something that I know, or seeing something I just recently learned put into action on a movie screen. However, I enjoy Kung fu movies for the same reasons. I can keep a completely open mind to what theyre doing.
